Customer Review: Great slip cover for Macbook
Summary: 5 Stars
First - this is not meant for active protection of your Macbook/notebook. It is made of neoprene which at best will protect your computer from scratches. If you drop it on the ground with this on...well, it'll keep all the parts together rather than them flying off in all directions. Point being: buy another cover if you want more protection.
That being said...I like this cover. It's nice, unobtrusive, and cheap. After buying the Macbook and then agonizing over what was the best slip cover to buy, I decided to go with this inexpensive Tacano product in lieu of the Incase one that Apple sells on its website.
As far as I can tell, the two are very much alike. I am very happy with this purchase. After the reviews of the Incase brand on the Apple website, i will throw this in the washer just in case there is leftover dye on this product...don't want my white macbook potentially stained by its black cover (don't know if this would happen, but I'd rather be overly cautious than regret not acting -- read some reviews about this on the apple store website).
Anyway, onto the review. Not much to say. It looks like it was designed specifially for macbooks - as it fits like a glove. My MB fits very snuggly inside the case with very little play on any side. There is a protective sliver of material that parallels the zipper so as to protect your MB from scratches. One thing about the zipper protector, once you put the computer in and start to zip up the case, you have to actually make sure its in its place before you zip up the cover. Since the material is rather malleable, the protector can be pushed back out of the way as you slid the MB in place...no big deal, just something to be mindful of.
Other than that ... stitching looks nice and solid. Oh and it weighs next to nothing - so if weight is concern, with the Tucano product, you need not worry. Also it doesn't add any unnecessary bulk to your MB.
Overall this seems to be a very well thought out product and serves my purposes well...as I plan to throw this into a larger bag. So if you're like me and couldn't decide between the Incase and the Tucano - go with the Tucano, it does the same thing, provides the same amount of protection, and is $20 cheaper.
