Will a Speck case scratch my Macbook Pro?

I recently purchsed a MacBook Pro 13" without Retina. Despite what most people say, I am interested in purchasing a hard shell case for my macbook (i also have a soft case to lug it around in). Anyway, I started looking at Speck which is what Apple appoves of. Chances are I would purchase the most basic See Thru type, but I may go for the Satin one as well. The reviews are mixed, which scare me. I dont care about the case itself scratching, but my concern lies with whether or not the case will scratch my precious macbook. Any personal testimonies?

I have a 13" MBP with a hardshell from Incase.  I take off the bottom once in a while.  I am conscience of where I put it down against, usually clean surfaces.  When opening, no dirt or particles.  I take a soft cloth and clean off any dust once a month.  That's all you need.  I have no scratches on by 2010 model and looks brand new.
I would recommend Speck of Incase hard shells.

  • How many of u guys use a speck case on your macbook pro?

    i would just like to know how many of u use it as is or with a hard case ?

    Hi
    My MBP cost £1800. I want to keep it immaculate for as long as I can. I have applecare and its fully insured. Ideally I would like 3 years life from it to warrant the cost.
    Hence I give it the best possible protection to keep it immaculate. The day I purchased it I put a speck shell on it. I had the clear gloss which does smudge and scratch a little. I now have the satin/matte Red version which does not smudge and is resilient to scratches. The cases does add a fair weight to the MBP, but I am strong so no problem. If you are feminine then this may be an issue.
    The case does make the MBP a little hotter but no big worries. When i am doing hours of HD Video encoding I do take it off and pop it on the Rain mStand.
    I also have a moshi keyboard gel pad which i use occasionally use to protect the keyboard from drink and crumbs. If I am travelling with the MBP I have a hard Targus case from Argos which is compact and slim. This setup looks fabulous and protects your investment.
    After 4 months its in Pristine condition.
    I be without it. Very easy to put on and off and very snug. Previously I had a 13" unibody for a year and subjected it to the same protection. When I sold it I got top price and it was Pristine condition.
    Hope this helps

  • 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!

  • Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java

    Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java - what the heck is with that? When I try to do as suggested and go under Java preferences it wont allow me make any changes this is the error message I get "Cannot launch "java preference" no compatible version of Java 1.5 + is available."
    Then it gives the option to open java preferences or quit. It will only allow me to quit as it won't open java preferences. Stupid updates!

  • Protective Case for my Macbook Pro?

    ive been looking for a protective case (shell) for my Macbook Pro 15", but all the ones i keep finding are for the older model (black keys, 2 USB ports on the left instead of 1 like mine has etc..).
    anyone have any links to cool shell cases for my Macbook Pro?
    thanks!!
    -Sin

    Your post is very confusing, since it's the current models that have black keys and all their ports on the left side. The older models have silver keys and ports on both sides. You seem to have gotten this backwards, and you don't tell us clearly which model you have. Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu, click "More Info", and tell us what appears in System Profiler > Hardware as the Model Identifier for your MBP. It will be something like 3,1 or 5,1 — a number in that format. That will tell us what sort of MBP you need a shell for.

  • HT3775 What codec do I need to play video that is called .avi.  It will not play on my new Macbook Pro.

    What codec do I need to add to play a video that is called .avi
    It will not play on my new Macbook Pro since I put it into the movies section of my launchpad.  When it was on the desktop It worked fine.  I moved it back to the desktop and it still does not work.
    The error message says  The document "   .avi" could not be opened.
    A required codec is not available.

    Download VLC Media Player which plays anything you throw at it and  Perian (AVI and FLV support).

  • Will aperture 4 work in my macbook pro running 10.6.8?

    Will Aperture 4 work in my Macbook Pro? I've got 10.6.8? thanks

    There is no Aperture 4 at this time.
    Aperture 3.5.1 requires OS X 10.9 or higher, so one would figure that any future versions of Aperture (3.5.2 or higher) would require 10.9.x at minimum, as well.

    Replace both upper case and lower case? Do it yourself or pay someone to do it?

  • Why does my iPhone 4 always say "sync will resume when "... MacBook Pro" is available??? i can't seem to sync over wifi

    why does my iPhone 4 always say "sync will resume when "... MacBook Pro" is available??? i can't seem to sync over wifi

    Try the following:
    1. Connect the phone to your computer using the USB cable and let it sync.
    2. Uncheck "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
    3. Click Apply
    4. Check "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
    5. Click Apply
    6. Quit iTunes
    7. Disconnect the phone from the USB cable
    8. Make sure your phone is connected to your Wi-Fi network
    9. Open iTunes
    iTunes should see your iPhone and connect to it. Go under Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and see if you can initiate a sync.

  • What product can I buy that will provide portable power to my MacBook Pro and iPhone and iPad when I am flying?

    What product can I buy that will supply portable power to my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad when I am flying?
    I recently was on an extended trip and the port for charging at my seat was not working.

    Unfortuntly you can't.
    The Apple Airline adapter is only meant to keep a fully charged battery from draining, however with newer computers requiring more power, they tend to drain the battery AND the power at the same time, thus require more power hook up without the computer running to charge the battery.
    Since your iPhone and iPad charge off USB, that's going to drain the MacBook Pro battery as well.
    To generate enough power to charge all three will require a portable generator which of course can't be used on a plane.
    The best you can do is have all three charged up before you board the plane, and use each for as long as you can.

    They got it working in their Macbook Pro - so I assume it would work in your Macbook Pro.

  • New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup.

    New Time Capsule will not back up my 2009 MacBook Pro. I can see and find my last back before Mavericks but cannot backup. The TC will not allow me to delete or start a new backup disk. My 2024 MacBook Air did the same yesterday but today it backs up.

    Seems to be working now. I left the MacBook on all morning trying to back up and now works.
