Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was torn between the satin purple (the only colored one that looks really good IMHO) and this one. But finally, I settled on clear because I didn't want to cover up the silver aluminum unibody. And, actually, it looks terrific, allowing the silver to show through a glossy sheen! I'll just start by saying that buying from Amazon is obviously the smart thing to do; these cases are sold for $50 at the Apple store. That being said, these cases are the best I've seen because they are true to the form of the Mac. Other cases have sort of boxy looking edges and some sort of weird box around the glowing apple, which is just plain tacky, I think. And while I love the smooth unibody of the Mac, I noticed that when it gets smudged (easily), the surface looks dull, and though it's actually held up really well to scratches, it's not scratch proof. In a few months after purchasing, you will begin to see some scratches forming on your Mac, so don't wait as long as I did to buy the case!
One important thing to point out is that I was really worried that this particular one was not made for the newer Macbook Pro model, but rather for the aluminum unibody Macbook; I only recently learned that there's a difference. But rest assured that the item on this page DOES fit the current Macbook Pro 13 inch perfectly. Bottom line, the headphone jack is completely unobstructed and the power adapter that Apple currently supplies fits comfortably facing both directions (with the long part facing toward you or away from you). I also have a palmguard on mine, but the case still clasps perfectly in that area. Also, the top cover is not heavy enough to pull the screen back.
That being said, you do have to be a little careful when installing it, as you don't want the edges of the case to scratch the Mac. And it is a bit difficult to take off once you've put it on; you can't just pull it off. You have to carefully lift from both sides where the clasps are, and make sure you don't bend it too much.
*Also, I wouldn't recommend using the orange cleaning cloth that comes with the case. I opened it to wipe the inside of the case before putting it on and ended up having tiny orange cloth particles remain between the Mac and the case. So I had to take it off and clean it with my black Apple cleaning cloth and reinstall it. So basically, use the cloth that came with the Mac or something that doesn't leave particles behind.
Finally, this cover *will* make your Mac look as though it's twice the thickness it used to be and it will feel a little heavier, too. This is the only drawback to putting a case on it. But I'll take a little added bulk over scratches. And my Mac still fits in my laptop sleeve which is a close fit without the case, so I know that the case didn't make it too much bulkier.
