Speck Clear Case,
What can I say, I was thrilled to open the packaging straight away.
A small annoying to have to clean the inside of the plastic with the supplied orange cloth, that was supposed to be lint free. Really place small orange lint balls on the inside of the case, but I worked it out.
In any case, when this case is new, and fresh on your MacBook Pro, it make everything look insanely cool. Not cheap looking at all. Well designed micro snaps fall right into place, and removing and covering the laptop is childsplay. It does scratch honestly simple, but then its clear plastic, and thats its job.
If I could make a case, Id use a bit tougher mix of plastics but pay no attention to me. Im being way to critical. This case is fantastic looking, and Id reccomend it to anyone who wants not only a protective case, but to make their Macbook really look better than it did out of the box. Is that possible? Yep .. with the Speck case on it, it just looks awesome.

|Clean & shiny!,
Mailed quickly from Amazon, with free shipping, too. A snap to place on (literally). Keeps my MacBookPro 17″ clean. Top and bottom snap on seperately, so you could just use the bottom and no one would notice the slightest difference. I took off my top just now to inspect it and measure the added thickness to the case. The Mac top is absolutely pristine. Although I saw no discernable scratches on the plastic case, when I held it up to the light I could see lots of fine scratches and marks that would have been building up on my Mac had I not been using the cover.
Regarding the added thickness, I estimate the clear case adds no more than 1/8th of an inch, for an additional total of about 1/4 an inch extra girth all around. The clear case also allows you the option of placing a favorite photo slipped underneath between the Mac and the case. I keep a montage of small photos there, including one of myself with contact information in case someone finds it and/or wishes to collect a reward.
Another thing I like about using the clear case is that it feels a small less slippery in my fingers when I handle the laptop, and I hope that it adds a small more protection against spills, bumps, and knocks.

|Works fantastic for me,
I chose to get one of these after I started noticing a slow build-up of scratches on my new beloved MacBook Pro. So I got one of these see thru crystal cases. It installed in an instant and I’ve had no problems.
It does add a small more bulk and weight to the machine, but given that I have a 17″ model, it’s already huge. A few more ounces aren’t that huge a deal. I kind of like the new thickness of the macbook now. I feel less like it’s likely to slip out of my hands when holding it. And I like the built in rubber feet the case comes with – as I was starting to have distress keeping the macbook’s rubber feet attached to the bottom.
I thought the product was a tad expensive. The full retail prices is ridiculous! But I’m pleased enough with my amazon price. I wish it came in colors. I would have preferred black or light blue.
Oh and one added benefit I realized once I place in my new case — I can now attach stickers to the back without having to gum up the back of the machine itself. Cool.
