Macbook Pro Hard Cases - recommended? Posted on: 01.12.2010 by Kandra Fagler hey guys i just bought a brand new macbook pro and i've been OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) -ing about it, i didnt know how easy the aluminium MBPs get smudges (even just by a single touch!) and im so paranoid that im gonna get dents (a few of my friend got dents on their mbps just from small items like a pen dropping into the mbp)im believeing of protecting my investment with a hard case, so far i am looking at the Speck Seethrough satin or the Incase Hardshell case anyone use these cases? do they make your macbook pro overheat? also, there are some el-cheapo cases on ebay that actually look really good (free delivery from hongkong as well, and comes in a range of colours) anyone tried those? | |

| Tatum Ansaldo 27.12.2012 | Holy necrobump bassline. |
| Dione Haimes 27.12.2012 | I got a clear speck case which i got an artist to design the inside of it for me , but yeah speck cases > everything i ordered one of those from hongkong and it never ever came.. But yeah why we bumping stuff from two years ago? |
| Elmer Kindinger 27.12.2012 | I've been looking at these for a while... |
| Bunny Sockel 27.12.2012 | Why do you guys revive dead threads from two years ago seriously.... |
| Jenae Hensarling 26.12.2012 | I have a black satin Incase that was 30$ Seems to be working great. I wouldn't suggest a dark color hard plastic. It will swirl up like the finish of a car. |
| Rena Estabrook 26.12.2012 | This works pretty damn well and is cheap. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o01_s00_i00 |
| Audrey Pinda 26.12.2012 | I swear by my Speck Orange case. Matches with what I go for. Orange and great beats. It's been banged up, cats have scratched it, but in the end? It's protected my computer well and I like it a lot. I'm also pretty sure Hot Pink Delorean / Terravita uses a bright pink one for their computer. Things work well, do what they are supposed to. Buy once, buy right, don't regret. |
| Michale Scoggan 03.12.2010 | I have the clear speck for my 13 MBP its awesome. especially with the aluminum uni body it gets scratched easy when you taking it in and out of your bag and stuff. |
| Kandra Fagler 01.12.2010 | http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT just ordered this for $19.99 USD delivered seems like a good deal! i chose the transparent one coz i dont wanna hide the real color of the macbook pro, i just wanna protect it and put some stickers on |

I paid $500 over to get full coverage, including water damage and running over my laptop with my car. If I ever dent it, i'm backing up the info and running it over. |

| nayit ruiz jaramillo 30.11.2010 | Yeah thats what i did, got a cheap one from eBay. No point buying one of those expensive ones from apple cus it will break eventually. Sticker up the case mate, not the Mac. You might regret it. Post up pics of it when done |
| Kandra Fagler 30.11.2010 | hmmm i see im probably gonna try one of those cheaper ebay hard cases first i wanna sticker up my macbook pro but i always feel like its not right to do so on a new product lol, so what im gonna do is get a clear case and sticker up that clear case so if i ever change my mind i just remove the case |
| nayit ruiz jaramillo 30.11.2010 | I used one on my Alu MBP (non unibody) and it worked fine to protect the Mac. However they get crap underneath them so you need to take it off and clean it. Also it makes the Mac much thicker and more heavy and a bit clumsy. Kinda spoils the whole look. They become a tad loose and the clips break easily. Basically if you are that OCD then defo get one cus when you get a dent in the case it really pisses you off. My g/f knocked my phone off the arm of a chair onto the top casing which caused a very small shallow dent... it was just one of those things that happen. She was TOTALLY mortified. I could see the horror in her eyes. I told her it was ok, dont worry. But inside i was dying the death of a thousand men !!! |
| Antonetta Wikel 01.12.2010 | I use the clear speck case on my Macbook 17" It's great, no problems overheating and protects the case extreemly well. |
