I like my case a lot!! Very great protection for my mac, however i do wish it was a little more like a skin- but i really like it regardless.

This product really secures your laptop and the texture is incredible! DO NOT — I repeat — DO NOT pay full price for this item if you can help it!! I saved a ton by buying it on Amazon, and you should do the same! It is easy to “install” (securing it to your laptop). I have only had it for a few weeks, so I haven’t needed to clean it or anything so far. Sleek, soft, and a GREAT BUY for protecting the outer part of your macbook!!!

Wow. This case is awesome. I shall detail the awesomeness below in the form of bullet points:
POINTS OF AWESOMENESS
- Fits *perfectly*; it looks like part of the computer.
- Very easy to get on (haven’t taken it off yet, so dunno about that).
- Looks beautiful (it’s a fabulous shade of purple). I imagine it would look great in other colors too.
- It has the perfect texture–grippy, yet still smooth and tactilely pleasing.
- Doesn’t significantly add to the weight and width, but it is noticeable.
- Doesn’t seem to make the battery hotter, and if it does, it isn’t significant. I had an older model mac/ibook that would literally burn my legs, and this became my official test of “is this computer too hot?” (3rd degree burns = yes). This doesn’t even come close to 1st degree burns.
- I am more confident in the hard shell’s ability to protect my computer than a thinner skin type thing would. I can’t say that it does for sure because I only recently bought the computer and haven’t had the opportunity to preform field tests yet (and by “field tests,” I mean dropping it repeatedly).
POINTS OF NOT AS AWESOMENESS
- I don’t notice or mind that much, but it does add more to the weight and width than a non-hardbody shell/skin would.
- It seems that lint and cat hair also appreciate the tactile pleasure, as they tend to stick to the cover.
- People might take you less seriously for having a purple computer.
Overall, this definitely wins my official seal of awesome, and is a totally worthwhile buy.
