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.

Looking for a hard case for mac book air 11' to put into my school bag for college
i am LF a hard case for my mac book air 11' that will keep my MBA safe in my schoolbag. i use my MBA ever day in college. was wondering if someone could tell me a good one cause there seems to be so much out there. thanks
I have both the Air and Mini, and 2 mac minis. I honestly cant decide between either of them,...my Mac Mini is the best desktop I have ever owned, however its purpose is almost totally different from that of my AIR, which is for travel, etc.
Since YOU are heading off to college and traveling, Id certainly get the AIR, between the two.
Both have the HIGHEST used resale value of any other laptop / desktop. Both are great choices. -
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!
Hi T,
Either of these will give you the info you seek:

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?
ThanksHi 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.

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. -
Transparent Hard Case For 15 inch MacBook Pro
OMG this is so cool, im going to get one for my other lap top :D!
http://gavilan1010.wordpress.com/2006/10/14/transparent-hard-case-for-15-inch-ma cbook-pro-2/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.

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!Here's some on eBay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=13%22+old+macbook+hard+case&_trkparms=65%253 A1%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1&rt=nc&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=12&_sc=1

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!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. -

Hard Case for ibook G4 14 inch
I am in need of locating a snap on hard case, preferably in red, for my ibook. I have searched for many days but to no avail. I have checked Spec, Ebay, Macworld, etc. Would appreciate any suggestions.
If your battery is not in the recall group (mine missed it by a few digits this time), I would not worry too much. However, if you really smell smoke, or see it, remove the battery.
Also, where is your iBook getting hot? On the left or right side? On the palm rest? If it's the palm rest on the left side, it's the hard drive causing the heat, because that's where it is. If it's the right side, it's the battery, because it's just under there. I have an iBook G4 12" model, and the right palm rest never gets hot. The left one, where the hard drive is located, does, and this is normal, unfortunately.
Please remember to mark this reply as helpful or solved if it has solved your problem or answered your question. Thanks!

I need a good case for my MBA that can survive a bus ride to and from school
To transport my personal equipment, I trust a Canadian brand out of California called ACME made. For my 11" air I use the Skinny Sleeve as well as the Union Brief. Production equipment however gets a brand called CineBags - those are hardcore. Or you could just check out the simple Incase zipper sleeves and bags they sell at the Apple Store.
