Better than Expected. August 13, 2008 Not only was this a great value for protection, it actually adds a cool cosmetic touch. So much so that I bought a few more for my other Macs.
Perfect Protection August 8, 2008 Speck products are great, the cover comes on and off with ease. The scratches that have appeared on the case make me extremely satisfied that I bought the cover, my Mac is protected. Also, it looks really cool!
Decreases the display viewing angle! August 1, 2008 So far this hard case works out great for me. Three things to consider though. 1) It attracts more hair, fur and dust than you Mac without the hard case. Not a huge problem though. 2) Your mac will get slightly heavier even though the see thru looks like it's weightless. It's not. 3) You can't tip your display as far back as you can without the hardcase. To me it's a little annoying when sitting with the mac in my lap where usually need to tweak the display all the way back to get the right viewing angle. My guess is that you can tip the display 95 degrees.
Still all the above is an okay trade off when it come to protecting the Mac.
Can this REALLY protect my computer? Well...Sort of!! July 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I decided to buy this product after carefully reading over most every review written.
When I got the product i was shocked to see how frail and flexible the plastic really was, mixed reports of the strenght of the plastic made this aspect of the product hard to really understand. So let me say once and for all: the plastic is very weak, and seemingly offers no protection. For a comparision: it's about as strong as the plastic on a CD case. They could have made a product with a greater density and no added bulk, but what you see is what you get.
Next, as stated in many other reviews, the top right corner of the case does not clip in...at all. So there is a posibility of the case breaking if snaged (e.g. the corner is caught on a cord or something and you go to pick it up *snap*).
So what are the Ups? Well, the case does look sweet on, and I still get comments about it. The case truely does offer a unique look to the Mac Book Pro. Another up is that it will protect the bottom and top from scratches, but this is no feat. I'm almost certain that I scratched part of the case removing it from the plastic. But if it takes something of my 2.5 k computer, I'm happy. But don't expect this to make you computer drop proof. I bought another case that is really intense for that...it actually looks like an old man bag...no the look I was shooting for: " Brenthaven Edge II Sleeve (Black) for 15.4" MacBook Pro "
In concludion: if you want a unique look, scratch protection, and sub-standard plastic, this is for you. I am happy with it overall, understanding that it is NOT super strong and has a lot of potential to be a five star product. IF you want something that MAY be stronger, maybe look for a case that isn't clear, odds are: it isn't clear because the plastic is denser.
*RumorS*
Rumor has it that the case causes overheating. I have had no trouble with anything like this YET. I can see how the case MIGHT prohibit the proper amount of ventilation when charging or watching a movie, and especially when charging AND watching a movie.
Cool and practical July 24, 2008 I purchased this for my wife's MacBook Pro. She has a thing for red and this turned the normal, kind of blah Pro into a flashy unit, easily identified from others. Aside from all the aesthetic aspects, the cover fits extremely well (even though there is a slight curl in the top cover but not enough to matter) and does not impede the unit's ability to dump heat. I would highly recommend these units for the iBooks as well. the nice white finish does not wear well when used heavily. This cover can make any unit look great, and functions well at protecting the finish. Available in many colors and graphics as well.
