Customer Reviews

Not good.1
O.K., so what is the purpose of this case? I thought it was to protect the unit from cosmetic damage. Unfortunately, it creates just as much damage as it protects against. After using for one year, take it off and you will find what I did: marks everywhere, all over your Macbook. Marks that follow the exact outlines of this case, most notable where there were openings, vents, or seams. You end up having the mold of this case branded permanently onto your MacBook's factory shell. To my mind, it looks worse than just normal scratches. At least they look natural. The marks all over my MacBook now look anything but natural. If the purpose of this case is protection, it's not going to help most people. The MacBook, like the iBook, is already made specifically for the rough and tumble handling of children and students. That is why they are made out of tough plastic to begin with. The addition of another layer of plastic is not going to stop the screen from being cracked in most situations where the screen would be cracked without the added case anyway. Now, I can see how this would be a better product on both accords when used with a MacBook Pro since their cases can be dented (so this would help stop that) and also they do not scratch or show pressure marks as easily as the MacBooks (so the branding marks may not be visible on them like they are on these) but I haven't used this product on them so I can't say. On the MacBooks, this case earns a failing grade based on my experience. It's heavy, it's bulky, it's ugly, it doesn't add much more trauma/dropping protection and as I said the cosmetic protection is negligible since it adds as much as it stops. 1/5 stars.

This is for a regular 13" Macbook, NOT a 'PRO'5
Finally, we found it. WE had been looking for a GREEN speck see-thru case for our duaghters 13" MacBook (NOT a Pro). Apple stores NEVER seemed to have green. The Speck website was of no help. Amazon finally came through! However, we were confused...the title indicates 'MacBook Pro 13-inch', but the 'Pro' version of MacBooks starts at 15". After much research all I could find out was that yes a 13" MacBook is NOT A PRO, which meant that this was a typo and the cover SHOULD fit our daughters 13" MacBook...and it DID! Perfectly!

She originally wanted a soft gel-type see thru case which is not made in green per the Speck website, and now she's glad she has the hard case. She loves it!

She liked this hard-case over others as many of her college friends have hard cases which 'touch' the corners of the MacBook shell in a full-contact sort-of-way, which have then developed cracks on the MacBook shell itself. This speck case has tiny risers on the inside corners which keep the cover 'off' the MacBook shell.

One last thing for Parents Only (as young people seem to have come to terms with the expense of protection. In our house...generally because it's not their money.lol): ...these covers 'seem' expensive for a piece of plastic...but they are 'protecting' a large investment. And this price on Amazon is a great price...don't waste your time shopping around, I've already wasted enough time for the both of us :)

Super Hot and sassy5
I ordered this case for my macbook and its fantastic. It is a beautiful hot pink color but not like the reddish magenta color that they are selling now. Its durable and fits on the mac book perfectly. It protects it well from dust and other damage. This color is hard to come by so its great to find it on amazon. A+++++++++++
