    Chips,Cracks and Lies. Need protection for your eyes

    Speck usually has fabulous products. This cover is a huge disappointment. If apple checked this case for quality it would have failed and told them to make if from something else. The cracks make the macbook air look cheap. This will protect your mac but it detracts from the styling. Its like having a Ferrari with the body of a beat 60 year old topless dancer.

    I was looking for something for my new Air when I bought it back in February, and this case was one of the only cases available. I bought the black one for my 11.6" and it snaps on easily. Having owned this case for about 4 months now, and I've taken it off twice to clean (it's recommended you do this monthly on the back of the box it came in)- honestly, that is not necessary. I would buy another case for future MacBook Air or Pro purchases in the future. I like the fact there is a textured feel to the case, as it doesn't feel like it will slip out of my hands between classes. I like that the light from the apple shines through the top cover, but my only gripe it there is only four colors to choose from (Clear, Black, Red, and Blue).

    Like it, but causing overheating and battery drain - mine's a 13" Air

    I really like this cover, it does the job well, sleek protection.

    Problem it is causing overheating, &fan is draining battery in less than quarter of normal time.

    I'm removing the bottom cover to see if that helps, keeping the top cover on. At least I'll get some protection.

    Come on Speck - you need to sort this out - it's a massive problem!

    Not Worth the Money

    Bought this case from the apple store in London, within two weeks it had cracked. Hardly used!!!

    Its far too brittle to be used as a case it should be more flexible. Granted it protects the air but looks awful with a crack in it and for the cost this is shocking.

    saved me on couple drops, but cracking

    I've had it for 3 months now and travel a lot with my air/this case, plastic things that hold the case in place are starting to crack and break off, i'm very careful with my stuff so i am very suprised it's breaking so soon after dropping 50 bucks on a 2 pieces of plastic. It did save me on a couple drops at the airport.

    I just wish there were more/better products out of there.

    the case is great for protection. the only problem i have is that it gets fingerprints all over it. so make sure if you eat anything wash your hands first. but overall good case. looks good on macbook air.

    Great, thin, light easy to use case

    There aren't a lot of cases out there for the 11" Macbook Air, so I was kind of without choices. I love Incase but they didn't have anything but sleeves, so I thought I'd try the Speck case. It looks great on, with the apple lit up it almost looks like a black Macbook. It hasn't added too much weight to the laptop and it was easy to put on.

    Just be careful when taking it off!! Start from the bottom, near the back and work your way up when removing the pieces. Or better yet... don't touch it too much. I cracked the case in the same week when I tried to remove the top part from the side. Nice thing was Apple let me exchange it since I just got it. Speck also has a 1 year warranty for defects and you can send it in for a replacement.

    Fits MacBook Air beautifully without adding heft or weight to it. You barely even notice it is there when using the laptop. One thing that I love is that you can now open the laptop without using two hands (a major annoyance for anyone on the go). The rear feet are "anti-tilting" which prevents the bottom from lifting off of the surface. It definitely adds a touch of style too. Overall, great design and great functionality!

    This case is pretty good. It protects the air quite well and is sturdy. However, it has a major flaw. It's a bit too heavy for the screen of the air and makes the screen fall back at the last few degrees when the screen is fully open. Other than that it's a great case.

    Speck 13" ST S C for MBA

    Just received mine today, and after calling Customer Service to see why my first order was returned to sender...Well.. I was surprised at the outstanding service I was given, the young lady refunded my purchase and then in turn replaced my order for a free case as a thank-you for my patience...kudos to you my dear for making my Apple purchase a pleasure, And it only took 7 days to get here in the Arctic. The case is black and fits my "13 MBA perfectly, no real weight noticed and I like added protection it provides. Would have got a five if their was more colour options..but I'm sure in the future their will be.

    Nice, but not cheap

    A nice covering for the 11.6" Air to protect it from scratches and scuffs (won't do much against a serious drop). Also adds some friction to the machine to alleviate fears of it flying out of your hand. Fits the machine perfectly. Would have liked a couple of more attach points on the bottom case, but seems ok so far. Attracts some fingerprints if you care about that sort of thing. Pretty expensive for a couple piece of bespoke plastic.
