Is the interior sticky, or normal? and is closing it pretty easy or a pain in the neck?

The interior is as the interior of a plastic bag - not sticky. It is closed with a velcro strip then you have to roll it down and put the ends together with the snap-in buckle. Having it rolled will prevent the water to get in. Think of a ground coffee bag that you roll down and instead of using the metal band to secure each end, once rolled, you connect one end to the other the end result looking like a closed loop.

It's not sticky in my experience (I used it today in 90F degree heat) and very easy to close. You will need to pay attention to what you are doing lining up the Velcro though, in order to get a perfect seal. I do like it a lot. Only negative is lack of a zippered interior pocket, on my opinion.

The interior is normal. Seal seamed nylon with coating. Closing the bag is easy, just like a SeaLine dry bag closure. Just make sure to squeeze out the air as you seal it. Great bag for light backpacking and bike commute

It's not sticky inside and closing it is pretty simple after the first time.

Yes, the entire back is sticky. But, like post-its, still easy to remove if necessary.

It's pretty easy for it to come out. I rarely take mine out, but when I need to, it comes off with ease.

Absolutely!!! Does not close hard at all!!! I have the same situation. Good Question!

No it's not sticky or anything. And it's very easy to clean. It is more like a softer plastic than a rubber.

Yes. It is a screw-top so it does depend on how hard you twisted it shut or how hot the substance you placed inside it was (I.e. Could have resulted in a vacuum situation) but I would say it is easy. When closing it though you have to be careful in finding the correct twist groove and not force it or it will not close properly and can either spill or not hold contents hot.

For sure. It's super easy to get off. I just slide my index finger beneath a corner edge, and the corner slides right up. The smooth silicone also feels pretty tactile, and does very well in keeping the cover flush to the keyboard, especially for how easy it is to remove...but why would you want to take it off for travel? That might be where it'll protect you most. Also, it makes my keys even quieter, and there are no cpu-heat issues with this one either. Had mine about 8 months now

No trick. If I remember right it spits in the middle. It was very easy. Best of luck!

I've had mine about 5 months. I use it all the time, Its almost a security blanket. No problems with the hinge. The orientation is really just a small annoyance. Tilting the machine forward about 120 degrees or hitting CTRL-ALT-up arrow fixes it

No. I've not had a problem with that. The magnetic closer keeps it in place well. Plus the keyboard is removable if you worry about that.

This answer is from a previous review which they initially gave 1 star... The following is a fix for the sticky keys..In a last-ditch effort, I pulled all the primary keys off and used a Q-tip and petroleum jelly to lubricate the slots where all the keys are installed. Once I snapped all the keys back in place....WOW....THIS WAS THE PERFECT KEYBOARD. It now works very smoothly and I still enjoy the benefit of the back-lighting and easy read letters. I wish I had done this easy fix when I first received it.

For me they are sticky. the space bar, shift and other keys have to be pressed fairly hard and sometimes stick.

No that's not normal. Mine snaps shut with a loud snap and stays closed. Its pretty tight. I really have to push it down hard to snap shut. It gets tight again after I wash it in dishwasher. Air dry so it doesn't melt.

I initially thought it was stuck in the closed position, a defect. It was very difficult at first, but you need to turn it to the open position. Now it opens and closes easily.

No clicking, neck is wicked sturdy. I can take my ipod out of it with one hand, but putting it in may require pulling over.

I never had a problem with mine, I liked it from Day 1. If you don't like it now, I'm assuming you won't like it any better next week unless you just get used to whatever feels uncomfortable to you.

It not hard to close. I work at the Chipotle restaurant and got it ok'd to use by the GM. It is stainless steel so it doesn't have the best grip but it is continually getting washed and it holds up well. The older model did not have a tang to protect your fingers from the blade...another reason I like this one. The blade doesn't stick out when closed. They do have flat tip blades which are actually used at our restaurant in our box cutters.
