Great Macbook Pro 13 Hard Case
I just recently bought a 13" Macbook Pro and have been looking for a case to protect it. I looked around and finally settled on the Speck See Thru Case in green. This is an awesome case!!! First of all the green color looks really great and the see thru case allows you to see the glowing apple which looks cool. It also fits perfectly and it basically seems like you don't have a protective cover on the computer at all. It adds very little if any extra bulk on the computer and so if you use an additional case or sleeve to carry around your mac, it will fit without any problem. Also, all the plugs and buttons are all accessible. This is a great product and I highly recommend it to protect your investment. It also comes with a nice dust rag to dust off your computer before you put the case on.

best product for my requirements
I bought my MBP 13 in June 2009. I don't know how, but two weeks later - the laptop had a deep scratch, making the laptop look like it had a crack. After going to two Apple stores for a Genius check....they used a tool to confirm it was just a very deep scratch. I've looked at several shells and cases since, and the cases were either over priced or blocked/obstructed certain ports (including the sleep indicator). I waited for the Amazon reviews to be posted on this case, because I wanted to make sure all ports were available and not being blocked by the case....especially since there were other Speck models available online for the older MBs. The other cases I looked at were the InvisibleShield and the BookShell.

* All ports accessible and not obstructed.
* From the edge of the security lock hole (towards the mouse pad) to the nearest edge of the case is about 0.5 inch.
* From the edge of the headset jack to the nearest edge of the case is about 5/8 of an inch.
* There is a battery indicator "indentation button" molded into the case...so you can press it to check your battery level.
* There is a hole cut out for the infrared.
* The case comes in two pieces, and were easy to snap on.
* The case fits very well and snug to my MBP 13. I even put a decal sticker on the inside of the screen piece, and the case fits fine.
* A microfiber cloth comes with the case.
* There are vents on the bottom case, but as mentioned on an older review - not all vents are cut out. I'm not concerned with this since I'm not a gamer, and the MBP unibody case sorta acts like a heat sink to help dissipate the heat.
* With the laptop screen fully extended with the case on, the angle was around 137 degrees.
* There are "foot pads" where the MBP's "foot pads" are...elevating the case from the flat surface and adding some grip.
* The case does add a little extra weight, but not a ton.

Because the case is "see through" I can see the sleep indicator - which I refer to a lot. I chose the clear color, so I don't attract attention/distraction during meetings.

I finally bought the case on Amazon due to great price ($50 at Apple), waiting patiently for Free Shipping, and knowing this case was made specifically for the MBP 13.

I've read older model reviews of dirt getting between the case and laptop - causing scratches. The environments I work in don't promote flying dust or dirt, so I'm not worried about that...but if you do, maybe one of the leather like or plastic stretch type cases might do better to seal/block entry of dirt/dust.

Average product. Not the best, not the worst.
I like the Speck See-Thru Macbook case. It looks good on my Mac, and protects the Aluminum, without causing any scratches.

However it doesn't keep the computer from not getting dirty. I found that around the sides of the computer, dirt and dust would get in between the case and the computer. I've had to take off the case and clean it, several times.

In terms of durability, the satin Speck case was better, but I like the fact the See-Thru doesn't show all the fingerprints the way the satin does.

I'm still using the product because I want my Mac protected at all times. If the case breaks, I'll buy another one. But all in all, it's a nice accessory.
