Hard Case for Macbook

I have a hard case (made by Speck) is it safe for my Macbook Pro? I'm concerned about it blocking the ventilation

Cases of any sort hinder the MPB's cooling requirements. Get whatever you want but don't be surprised when it runs hot.
My Powerbook withstood over a decade of daily typing. The keys are fine. Just don't spill anything on it.

  • Clear hard case for MacBook

    Hi, I have a 13" white MacBook that I got in June of 2009. I've been trying to find a clear hard case/cover for it, but none of the ones I've found, online or in stores, will fit mine. Most of the ones I've found are for Unibody or MacBook Pro. I've ordered 2 that were supposed to fit, and neither one did. Does anyone know where I can find a case that'll fit the 13" Mid-2009 MacBook? Or does anyone know of a site that can help me identify which cases will fit? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks so much!

  • Hard case vs Rubberized hard case for Macbook Pro?

    I'm looking at cases for my MBP 13" and was wondering which is prefereable - hard or rubberized? Also, are there any particular models that you all reccommend?
    As for keyboard skins, which is the best (affordable) one? I type fast & hard and want to be sure my keys are protected. Thank you!

  • I want to buy a hard case for my macbook pro, but I don't know what year it is. When I use the serial number to try and find out, all it says is, "~VIN,MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)". When I type that into amazon for a case it gives me nothing!

  • Transparent Hard Case For 15 inch MacBook Pro

    Hi Everyone,
    I am one of the engineers at Speck involved in designing and launching the MacBook See Thru Case. Thank you for your interest and feedback regarding this product. However, after reading through this discussion page, I feel it is necessary to dispel some misconceptions about this case. We are a case company that has been designing, engineering and selling cases for years. I'm not sure which Agent 18 case (great cases by the way) is being referred to in the previous thread, but without knowing the exact case, I am assuming there are inherent differences in the mounting system used. Specifically the following:
    1. The "Sandpaper effect" occurs when two surfaces rub against each other. In the example with the ipod case, I believe (and because I don’t know which case it is, I can be wrong) that the scratching was a result of the ipod sliding into the case, or sleeve. Typically hard PC cases have tight tolerances, which leave a minimal amount of clearance. Because of this, the ipod is more likely to be scratched when inserted into the case. However, unlike the ipod case example, the Macbook case clips onto the MacBook. Instead of a sliding motion, the MacBook See Thru is a snap on and lift off system. Also, because the See Thru is clipped onto the Macook, it is a static system, thus no surfaces would be moving against each other.
    2. More importantly, we designed the MacBook See Thru with small spacers that keep a minimal distance between the surface of the See Thru and the MacBook. This means that unlike the Ipod case that sits against the surface of the Ipod, the MacBook See Thru maintains uniform clearance.
    Lastly, from a consumer standpoint, and user of many, many different CE devices, I am always hesitant to use adhesive films on my products. In my experience, they tend to leave a residue, which is sometimes difficult to get off, and makes your device have a higher affinity for dirt. This is not to say that all films are created equal (because there are some companies that have engineered them not to leave as much of a residue). Also, films tend to scratch and rip easier. Please remember that there may be some bias in my comments (being a Speck engineer that has been so involved in this project), so take them at your own discretion. But don't take my word for it, go out to the Apple Store and check them out for yourself. I think you won't be disappointed.

  • Case for macbook unibody??

    I have the Macbook unibody (aluminum with black keys) that ISN'T the pro and I've been looking everywhere trying to find a hard case for it. The only place I've found so far is www.mymacbookcase.com but the cases they have are plastic and I want to find one that's more rubber so it's less slippery. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hey Sarfitz,
    Actually the unibody, aluminum with black keys may not be a macbook pro,
    but has the same body as macbook pro.
    you can go to mymacbookcase.com and buy the macbook pro case, and get the rubberize one.
    there really nice, i have one my self, its beautiful quality case.
    that will fit on your macbook, even though it aint pro, its the same body.

  • Hard case for the air?

    Hi all,
    I've ordered an entry level 13 inch macbook air with 4gb ram today. However, I've been trying to find a hard case for my new air for the last couple of hrs without any success.
    Can somebody please suggest to me some cases with a soft inner lining and hard outer shell? Or a hard shell case for the air?
    Thanks

    Hi David,
    Thanks for the suggestion. The Pelican case looks really good, but it’s a bit heavy when combined with the air. The total weight will be the same as my old 15” macbook pro, which defeat the point of me getting the air as a light weight laptop.
    I did found couple of interesting cases from a company called Cumpler.
    Hard Suit 13" Air:

    They have a store in central London, so I’ll go and have a look this week.
    Hi n_n,
    I had an Incase hard shell on my macbook pro, and there were few cracks on the corners of the case after few months of use. So I want either a clip on hard shell or a carry case with hard top; bottom and edge protection for the air without adding too much weight.

  • Keyboard Cover and Hard Case on Macbook Pro Retina

    I have just heard that Apple suggests to remove palm rest protector on Macbook Pro Retina.
    Reference: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4384
    Now, my question is:
    Is it ok to put keyboard cover and hard case on Macbook Pro Retina? Or will it affect the product just like the palm rest protector?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply.
    The keyboard protector that I got is Moshi's. They said it's extremely thin, will it be still a problem? Because as I compared with the palm rest protector, it's much thinner.
    Here is the link for reference: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV901LL/A/moshi-clearguard-keyboard-protector- for-aluminum-macbook-and-macbook-pro
    And, the hard case that I mean is something like Kuzy sold in Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Kuzy-Crystal-15-4-Inch-MacBook-Display/dp/B008B09LRY/ref=s r_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1350354859&sr=8-4&keywords=kuzy+macbook+pro+retina)
    Any further opinion on this issue?
    Thanks.

  • Sleeves & Case for macbook.

    What is the best Sleeve or Case for macbook?

    There really is no "best" because it depends upon the user. I was never able to find exactly what I wanted so I had one made out of black thick flannel with a velcro envelope flap. Fits snug as a bug.
    I also had a black soft canvas backpack with front pocket made in the same style. The backpack is three inches deep, 10 inches wide and 14 inches tall with a velcro envelope flap. The straps are the same canvas material only doubled and include a velcro chest strap to keep it all snug. The front pocket has room for the adapter, a mini-mouse, CD/DVD disks, and a few other things. The pack is just deep enough for the Blackbook and perhaps a half-inch thickness of papers like reports, patient records, letters, etc.
    No matter where I looked I couldn't find anything like it. I wanted/needed something light to wear and easy to get in and out of quickly. Yes there are sleeves and backpacks but the sleeves were either too bulky, too gaudy, too stiff, and slapped with a large manufacturer's logo. Finding a simple comfortable soft laptop backpack is near impossible. I don't need to carry a folding tent, sleeping bag and camping stove on my back, just a slim 13" Blackbook.
    I get compliments on the backpack all the time (and the sleeve too). If I had the time I would make up a dozen or so and offer them for sale. The pattern for the backpack, believe it or not, came from a Barbie doll pattern: "The Ken Doll Knapsack". I took it to a my elderly neighbor (a retired seamstress) and she used the pattern to create a larger modified version. The Ken Doll pattern called for a buckle closure and buckle adjusting straps and was much deeper. I asked for a velcro replacement and a slimmer casing to hold the Blackbook and a few papers.
    So you see, there is no "best" for best is in the eye of the beholder. There are many offerings and look around before jumping off on the first or second sleeve you come across.

  • Hard Case for MBA

    Very keen on making my MBA purchase soon. However, I am one of those people who like to purchase all my protective accessories before purchase of the unit.
    I am looking for a slim, hard case for the MBA that can be then used to slip into my bag. Something that will protect from bumps and scratches too (if possible).
    Has anyone seen a product like this on the market?
    Thanks.

    This will work.
