I just spent $1000 on a laptop. A laptop with a body that scratches easily. Sure, scratches don't affect the laptop's ability to be a functional laptop. But if I wanted just a functional laptop, I'd buy some cheap HP/Toshiba/Whatever from Walmart. I bought a MacBook because it's freaking awesome, and I certainly want it to remain that way as long as possible. The Speck case should aid greatly in that regard.
It fits the MacBook like glove, and makes for traveling with it a lot less worrisome. It's not going to get dinged up around the house, or anywhere else I take it. And even with the case on, it has no overheating issues, nor does it preclude use of a carry sleeve. I'm using the inCase neoprene sleeve with it, for anyone interested.
The only pain in the butt is trying to keep various lint particles out from in between the case and the laptop. I try to remember to wipe the case down, and clean out all the lint once a week or so. With that very minor maintenance, our two-month old MacBook looks pristine as the day we unboxed it. Even with the case, the general aesthetic of the MacBook isn't covered up. Speck Products MB13PU-SEE-CL See-Thru Case for 13-Inch MacBooks with Polycarbonate Unibody, Clear - DOES NOT FIT MACBOOK PRO
Product snaps right onto my 13" white MacBook (October 2009 unibody model). It fits perfectly, appears strong, is crystal clear and thin.
Back of package warns that product "DOES NOT FIT previous-generation white MacBook or 13" Aluminum Unibody MacBook/MacBook Pro."
I have the late 2009 MacBook and I purchased this case in clear. It snaps on and fits well, and protects the surface from scratches. I've found that a little dirt (i.e. pet hair) can get underneath it, so I blow it our with compressed air or remove it and clean the MacBook with a soft cloth every two weeks or so. I am unsure if it makes the MacBook run hotter, because without vents it runs pretty hot anyway.
I am a clumsy person. I'm constantly trying to protect my devices from, well, myself. I purchased this case to give my macbook slightly more protection. Honestly, though, I'm not sure what its supposed to do. If I dropped the macbook, I doubt it would provide shock protection. If I spilled on it while it was open or closed, it wouldn't provide any water damage protection. It does protect it from scratches, but that's really the least of my concerns.
I guess having one of these things doesn't hurt, if you want to protect your computer from minor scratches, although the one potential problem I see is that my laptop feels in danger of overheating.
The company did an excellent job of making this cover slip on nicely. It fits like a glove and doesn't add too much bulk. I'm not sure that there are really any products out there that could protect my laptop any more than this (with the exception of a silicone keyboard cover, which I highly recommend you purchase), so I can't blame the company for not coming up with something better.
This case fits my Macbook perfectly (13" white unibody, Oct '09 model) - I haven't had any problems with it. I am very relieved that the one long scratch I've managed to create is on this case and not my actual computer. Also, I'm fairly certain my Mac does not run any hotter than it did before I used the case. No matter how careful you are with your Macbook, it's going to get scratches - I definitely recommend using this case to help protect your investment!
the case itself fits perfectly with the new macbook. However, it is very hard to keep little particles out of the space between the case and the macbook. Little particles have found its way in between the gap and made specks on the case, which scratched my macbook! i was soo mad, now my macbook has multiple little dot scratches on the surface and it won't go away. My macbook is only about 4 months old too! i'm soo sad, i think a laptop sleeve would have protected it better then this speck case!
Had to wait a little for item to arrive but, worth the wait, fit perfectly over computer with a stylish look. prevents bangs and scratches and not to mention is a lot cheaper than the $50 apple store is asking. Definitely an item to get to protect your computer.
I finally got a white MacBook and wanted to keep it that way and this is the perfect case for that! It fits like a glove, no moving around at all, has rubber circles on the bottom corners to keep it from moving or scratching anything, and is easy to put on and take off and I still get to see the beauty of my white MacBook. If you want to keep your MacBook white, this is the case to get.
This is the first time i've ever come across a speck case that the bottom half doesn't fit properly. It doesn't have any locks on the front of the bottom half so it's just loose and it makes an annoying sound when picking it up. If you push down on the front it moves the case. You can pick the macbook up and hold it on it's side and just slide the case off with ease. I'm slightly disappointed. I own a macbook pro with two different speck cases and they both have locks on the front half of the bottom piece. It still makes the Mac look wonderful but because of the looseness of the bottom I am giving it three stars. - Macbook - Hard Case - Macbook Shell - Macbook Cover'
