Mar 16, 2016 5:29 PM in response to lemonkongby AJ397,It is not just the possibility of a scratch, it is also that the retina MacBook Pros are very thin. Adding a keyboard cover and cloth could lead to damage and it not closing properly. I personally would not use either on my rMBP.
To enable the thin design of MacBook Pro with Retina display computers, the clearance between the display and the top case is engineered to tight tolerances. Do not use palm rest covers or keycap covers, as the additional thickness may interfere with the designed closed position of the display.
