Will a hard shell case make my MBA run warmer?

I have a 2013 13 MBA, I am contemplating buying a moshi iglaze case but I warm hesitant because I dock my computer to a cinema display when I'm at home and not at work so I am worried about the case making the machine run hotter. Does anyone have experience with this? Are my fears founded?

It would run hotter however the new Air runs much cooler as of 2013
Those cases also trap dust and debris and end up creating more scratches than they prevent

What is a good brand of hard shell cases?

I just bought my Macbook Pro 13 in. without the retina display, and i've been looking to get a hard shell case for it. From what I've seen on Amazon, the Speck cases scratch easily. I was also looking at mCovers, which had mixed reviewed, and Kuzy. I would prefer a clear case, but the color doesnt really matter. I just wanted to know what brand or website will provide good hard cases that will fit my macbook (and not scratch it when taking off the case), and remain durable.

Here's something I purchased from Amazon just last week! It's by GMYLE and a clear protective keyboard cover comes with it. (You can still type very easily with the keyboard cover on. Great for keeping dog hair and general crud out of the works.)
The case fits my MacBook Pro perfectly. It even has little rubber feet on the bottom!

Has anyone heard of a good hard shell case for Ink and Slide?

As much as I appreciate the charging case for Ink, I need a hard shell case for the the cord, Slide, Ink and the charging case.
I found a Nintendo case at Target yesterday so that I feel comfortable taking my tablet and I&S out for field trips, but it is rather inelegant.
What are other I&S users using?
Thanks,
Terre (who named her Ink 'Scribbles')

Yes, I am looking for a shell case that holds the Scribbles' charger cord and case, plus "Straight," the Slide. Something that protects all components and is portable.ind
I will post what I find aside from: Nintendo 3DS XL Hard Shell Case - Kozmicc
Thanks,
Terre

What is the best hard shell case for a 15 inch mac book pro

Been using Speck now for about 4 years. No complaints from me!

How about a hard-shell case for the Zen Mic

I recently bought my Zen Micro and the one accessory that I still need to pick up for it is a case. Now I know there is a pouch for it, but what I really want is a something more protecti've to put up with the rigors of travelling.
I see they have the leather case which covers the entire unit and looks to currently be the best bet to offer some overall protection of the unit. But what I can't seem to find (either through Creative or a third party) is a hard-shell case. I'd love to have a good, solid clamshell-type of case (either hard plastic, or even metal) like you can get for PDAs. I've got a metal case for my Palm and I'm sure its been that device's best friend in terms of protection from all of the bumps and bruises of travel.
So if anyone fm Creative is peeking in here - that's my big suggestion for you all.
An if anyone knows if such a case does exist, please feel free to post back.

Gee I never would have thought about using a search function to do a search ;>
Yeah I saw this a few days ago - thank you - but its not quite what I'm looking for. If I wasn't clear, I am looking for a hardshell case that completely closes up the unit. This one is cut open on the front for access to the buttons. I was looking for one similar to the leather case where the entire unit is fully enclosed, basically with the only opening being for the headphones.
I do like the earbuds offered on this website - the ones with the little lapel clip spool.

Do Hard Shell cases protect your device?

Hi, i'm looking to purchase the new ipad soon and i'm prioritising safety for the device (i.e. cases) I know silicone cases work well but there doesn't seem to be many of them that are compatible with the smart cover. On the other hand there are many hard shell cases but they do not look convincing. I was wondering, do these hard shell actually protect the device from impact or do they just prevent scratches?

Here is a drop test.
Smart Case (I have a 3rd party one) does its job - it protects.
Yes, the Case CAN protect your iPad from cracks and scuffs. But it won't if you use way too much force.
Case is like smart cover, but with a back protector and a border to protect your iPad from falling down with screen side facing down

Best iPod Touch 4G Hard Shell Case?

So yeah, ive been wondering over for a good iPod touch 4g hard shell case.
Before that, what's the advantages/disadvantages of a hard shell over a silicon rubber material?
Sorry that I'm asking much
Is the skull candy hard shell worth it? What's the price gonna be?
Ps. I prefer a slim one

If your looking for a case to protect, I would go with otterbox. If you want it to be slim and still durable, they have a reflex case, but if you dont mind having a little extra thickness I would go with the defender series, its a mix of hard plastic and silicone and has a built in screen procter. All in all otterbox is the best in my opinion.

Recommend a hard-shell iPad 2 case without flap?

Hi:
I’ve been looking for a good quality hard-shell case without a flap for the iPad 2. Something that’s the equivalent of a Speck case for the iPhone. All the cases I’ve found, so far, that are pretty durable have a flap for the screen.
Something equivalent to this:
Haven’t found anything yet. Any leads please would be appreciated! Cheers.

Thanks Demo! I checked out a few of the different types of OtterBox offerings. I also found iLounge discussion forums which has a crazy amount of reviews on the topic of cases for the Ipad (and I mention it here in the event that another person searches a similar topic as mine).
I got a couple of ideas from this too:
http://tommyj.hubpages.com/hub/Top-Ten-Best-iPad-Cases-Skins-and-Hard-Case-Revie w
What I’d really like though is something without a front covering -- sort of a modified Defender -- Mainly for use on younger kid’s ipads that may be dropped on occasion
That said, I had the Defender for my iPhone -- man was that a seriously rugged case. Almost too much for what I wanted -- I ended up with the Speck CandyShell because it was lower-profile and easier to get in and out of my pocked. Though the Defender is a favorite choice of people I know who really need rugged and are doing work on job sites or the like where dropping a phone is more likely to break it!

Will the iPad 3 cases fit the new iPad 4?

Is the width, height, depth, size same????????? or is the size a little different?

The physical dimensions are the same and all cases that work with the iPad '3' will also work with the iPad '4'. The center of the Lightning port is in the same location as the 30-pin dock connector center so while the opening may be larger than necessary when a '4' is placed in a '3' case it will work fine.

iPad 2 cases don't work with 4th generation or 3rd generation iPad
The reason that some iPad 2 cases won't work with iPad '3/iPad '4' and some do is two-fold. First, the iPad '3'/'4' is a bit thicker which may cause a tighter than optimum fit--depending upon the case style. Stretchable cases won't be much of a problem, hard shell cases could be.
The second reason is because the iPad 2 only has a position requirement for the magnets to engage the on/off function, it does not also have a polarity requirement for the magnets as does the iPad '3'/'4'. If the polarity randomly happens to be a match it will work. If not it won't.
So to sum it up, if it is advertised to work with the iPad '3' or '4' it will work with the iPad 2 though the fit might be a little bit loose with some case styles. If it was built expressly for the iPad 2 it may or may not function fully with the iPad '3'/'4'.

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Thanks!

Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

If I have to format an external hard drive to make it Mac compatible, will it delete all the content in the external hard drive?

If I have to format an external hard drive to make it Mac compatible, will it delete all the content in the external hard drive?

As others have said, the answer to your question is a big YES. Formatting a drive will delete everything!
To keep your data, yet reformat the drive for optimal Mac compatibility, you will need to:
1) copy your files to a different hard drive (I would recommend two different locations if you value your data)
2) repartition/format the external drive
3) then copy the files back to the external.
You haven't given details but if you need the external to ONLY be compatible with the Mac (and no longer care if if can be read by Windows), then you will want to partition the drive using the GUID partition scheme, and format as the (HFS+) "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" filesystem. You can do so using the built-in "Disk Utility" application on your Mac (in the Applications/Utilities directory). Here are instructions:

If you need the drive to be compatible with both Mac and Windows computers then please post that so someone can recommend a solution for your specific needs.

Hard Shell or Rubber Case on the top of the invisible shield?

Hey Guys,
I have installed the invisible shield on my iPhone 3G S and let it to dry for around 3 days now .. I just wanted to install shell on the top of it just in case to protect it from any drop damages and so on. The question is : Is it safe to install a hard shell cover on the top of the invisible shield ? or is the hard shell cover is going to harm the invisible shield in the long term?
Thanks in advance,
Rashid

Our MBP is an A1278 (uni-body) bought in NZ 28 June 2011. S/N: CO2FW8NVDH2G
It looks more like a bit of dark grey foam rubber with a smooth coating . Was attached to the retaining bar and/or plastic pull tab on top of the display data cable connector and about the same length across and tapering towards the cable that goes to the display. I may be thick but who, what and where are OWC?
What problems could an insularor cause? I had another reply from someone via ifixit who said he liked the idea of a bit of neoprene replacing the lost pad! What to do?
Thanks for your time replying
John

I have a macbook pro 4,1 early 2008 model running on 10.6.8 snow leopard was wondering if upgrading to moutain lion will make my system run slow?

MBP 4,1 running 10.6.8 snowleopard and it runs great but i was wondering if upgrading to moutain lion will make run slower?

Lion is still available but you have to Call Apple to order it and then they send you a Redemtion Code to your Apple ID Email address that you use on the Mac App Store to download it.
But in all honesty even Lion is going to make your system run slower then it now does. Lion, like Mt Lion, uses more system resources then Snow Leopard. I can see the difference on my 2011 MBP with 8GBs of RAM and a fairly fast hard drive. Snow Leopard boots and runs faster then Lion and more so then Mt Lion.
What you need is a New or Newer MBP. If that is not an option then the only thing I can say is give Lion a try. That is AFTER you do a complete Time Machine Backup of your current Snow Leopard install just in case you need to go back.
By the way Apple replaced the Logic board in your system with the same Faulty NVidia chip install in it. Apple Never Updated the NVidia chip used on those logic boards. So odds are sometime in the future, Near or Far, that board will fail again.
