Ridiculously pleased (note: also fits MacBook May 2010 release),
by Tenacious G, 2010-06-13

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.

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.

 

great buy!,

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!!!

 

PERFECT ACCESSORY FOR YOUR MAC,
by D. Jordan, 2010-05-27

The soft touch hard shell case fit my macbook white later model unibody perfect. It's a great dual use product as it is attractive and keeps your macbook safe from scratches.

I bought this case to protect my white 13" MacBook. The case is built specifically for this computer and fits like a glove. It snaps on with ease and protects the outside of the computer from being scratched. My local Apple store did not have a case like this in stock so I went to their website. They did carry the case on the website but it was considerably cheaper on Amazon. I purchased the purple one and it is a beautiful deep eggplant color and the apple logo shines through when the computer is on and lit. The case also came with a soft cloth that I use to dust the computer screen which works well without fear of scratching. I would definitely buy this item again.
