Reviews for Speck 13" SmartShell Satin Case for MacBook Pro

Long story short, I forgot my macbook on the roof of my car. Shortly after merging onto the freeway I heard a crash as it bounced along my the roof, and when I looked in my rearview I witnessed my beloved Mac Pro 13" smashing into the shoulder and sliding for about 30' after a 50mph fall. Thankfully it went to the right and not into traffic.

I exited, went around, and pulled over then ran to what I expected to be the carcass of a once beautiful machine. To my complete shock it was still in one piece, showing only minor damage. I got back in the car, held the power button... and it turned on! This case saved it's life. There is no scratching to speak of, the only damage is a dent in the corner of the screen where it landed and a little scratch on the corner of the body. The glass is not cracked, and it runs just fine. I will replace the screen just because the dent annoys me and reminds me of my own stupidity. The case is utterly mangled, so I promptly bought a new one when I got home (I also called and told them my story).

Do not listen to ANYONE that says this product does not provide adequate protection.

I can't believe the amount of garbage reviews on here! This was seriously worth the 50$ I spent on it to protect my $1,300 Macbook Pro. I've had no issues with dust getting trapped and it keeps my MBP in outstanding condition. It also provides great grip on top of the protection on the lid and bottom half. I also like that it gives it a nice look and makes it less noticeable.

My only Con: The left rear quarter where it snaps to bottom hits the lid when opening it.

I would buy this again and again

I cannot recommend this product.

It damaged my laptop with scratches from the dirt that got caught inbetween the cover and the laptop. Also, the hinge that holds the screen got damaged because of the cover. If possible I would rate this product with zero stars.

had this case on my laptop for about 6 months, took it off and there were little scratches all over the sides, the top, and the bottom, I bought the case to stop it from getting scratched up but the case made it 10 times worse.
