    Looks great, doesn't last

    • Written by from Atlanta

    At first receipt, I loved this case. Life caught up quick and the case did not stand up to it. First failing, less than a 2 foot drop in a bag off the back of my roller luggage. Lower from right corner of MBA 13 bent, case cracked. An even smaller drop out of a chair, also in the bag, the upper rear iGlaze case cracked on both corners. Between drops, while only in use for about 5 months, 2 rubber pads disappeared from the bottom of the case. Summary - Looks great at first, doesn't last. Disappointed relative to the high cost. Maybe OK for people that just want scratch protection and good looks. Not for travelers.

    Cracks!

    • Written by from Plymouth Meeting

    I like the sleek design. This case is ten dollars more than another brand with similar style. The other one appears thicker. I thought the higher cost was due to better material used to keep it so thin. But, it cracked at two edges within the first week. No, it wasn't dropped-- just normal use: to and from school in my backpack. Don't buy this unless your laptop never leaves your lap (and you sit on a couch forever).

    Poor Lasting Ability

    • Written by from Windsor

    After only having this product for under 3 months with less then average transport of the computer (by backpack), the corner of the case cracked and broke off.

    Would highly recommend!

    • Written by from Aurora

    I wanted to protect the investment of my MacBook Air and heard good reviews on Moshi 13" iGlaze Shell so I ordered it online. It arrived in 2 business days and I am 100% satisfied with this product. It is slim, matte, lightweight, snaps on easily and fits my Mac perfectly. The addition of the 4 rubber feet on the bottom is a great option which helps to prevent your Mac from slipping on a glass or high-gloss surface. I had purchased Speck for my previous MacBooks but prefer Moshi hands down.

    Awesome case!

    • Written by from Meridian

    Before I found this case I tried at least 6 speck cases over the period of about 4 months each broke within either a few seconds or a couple weeks of looking at the darn (because apparently I cant use the actual word in a review...) thing.
    I was on the look out for months before I found this case finding the only other options were more speck cases or the hammered hard shell case which makes it look like you just bedazled your laptop, when I finally found the moshi with good reviews i was hesitant at first but went for it.
    I have had my moshi case now for over a month and couldn't be happier with it, it looks ballin', it feels awesome and makes my laptop look better than before. Apart from the fact that it costs $60 (which it is well worth) it is perfect. Low profile fogged up a just the right amount and clips that don't snap off.
    I would highly recommend this case to anyone with a macbook who doesn't want it to look like heck (or that one) after getting it scuffed up or dropped after a few months.

    Moshi IGlaze lasted only 4 months

    • Written by from Winthrop harbor

    I had to replace this cover after only 4 months. Cracks on top cover at both corner ends. Bottom of cover, two round non-slip feet gone within 2 months, corner cracked to one of the feet. Another crack 1/2 way to corner foot. Side of bottom cover is broken off near where power supply area is located.
    I do not take this computer outside of the house and it is usually kept in one area only.

    It does not fit!

    • Written by from Watkinsville

    I purchased this moshi case even though it was really expensive because the reviews were really good. But whenever I open or close my macbook, it makes a sound. I figured out that the right top of the bottom case is little bit longer than the left one and thats why whenever I close or open it it will scratch the screen. I regret paying 60 dollars for a macbook case when I can buy a cheap one somewhere else..

    Worth every penny

    • Written by from Tewksbury

    This case is definitely one of the more expensive cases for the MacBook Air but you get what you pay for. Case goes on and off very easily. Does not take away from the streamlined Air either. If you purchase the translucent one, it looks like the case is not even on. There are four rubberized feet on the bottom to prevent any sliding around. Look no further, trust all the positive reviews, this is definitely the case to buy!

    Great Buy!

    • Written by from Hico

    I bought the translucent case for my MBA 13" just to prevent any scratching or scuffing. I ended up buying the the translucent case because I didn't want a case that would make my MacBook look cheap; this was definitely the right choice! The case fits great and it is not slick like the Speck cases. It also doesn't take away from the beauty or thinness of the laptop itself. The case was a little pricey, but it is well worth the money.. I would buy it again without any hesitation!

    Moshi 13" iGlaze for MacBook Air

    • Written by from Clinton

    Wanted some protection to keep my new 13" MacBook Air looking good. The cover snaps on very easily and is a tight solid fit. It opens to the stops for the display. I am not rough with my computer but wanted to keep scuffs and scratches off the case. This works perfectly and the clear cover is almost invisible. This should keep the case looking brand new for years.

    Practically invisble

    • Written by from Passaic

    Flawless!

    • Written by from Newtown

    I had been searching for a hard case for some time, but was turned off by the negative reviews of InCase and Speck's cases. At my time of purchase, the Moshi had few reviews, though it has clearly become the top option. It fits flawlessly, adds little-to-no bulk, and maintains the visual appeal of the Air. I have the translucent, and you can only tell a case is on the unit after careful inspection. Definitely recommended!

    Most Satisfied

    • Written by from Murray

    This Product is very pleasing to me for a few reasons. 1. The product fits very well on my mac book air 13 inch. 2. The casing for this makes it look like nothing is even on it so, it still has a very modern look. 3. There are 4 rubber points on the back of the mac book air to help it not move when your typing or whatever it is you may be doing with. 4. The case allows you to still make use of all of the ports on both sides of your mac book air. & 5. you're still able to open your mac book air without having the cover get in the way of opening it.

    Worth every cent more you will pay for a lesser case.

    • Written by from Middletown

    Although you pay a bit more for this case, you get so much out of it. The look is great and is designed perfectly. It basically disappears onto the computer while still protecting it, it adds very little bulk, and is very durable.

    **EXCELLENT**

    • Written by from Salt Lake City

    I previously had a Speck MBA case, went through 8 of them in 1 year under warranty, It keep breaking the in the same area, the bottom back 2 tabs. I called them numerous times letting them know how to fix it.

    When I saw and read some reviews, I needed a new case to again replace my broken Speck case. The Moshi iGlaze shell case had found the solution. It has two tabs in the middle of the bottom case, totaling 6 instead of 4. Those 2 extra tabs will keep the bottom case in place and prevent the bottom back 2 tabs from breaking.

    Great work from Moshi. I also notice the case is slightly thicker which should make the case last longer. This is the case for your MBA. Wish there were more colors, but I think that will come in time....

    Great for what you need it to do, but...

    • Written by from Providence

    Fits sleekly, provides traction, completely protects the exterior shell, and slightly buffers the sharp edges of the front/top (My only problem with 'Air'). But; It illuminates around the screen edges because of the lit Apple logo in the back. It also weighs down the top a little so it'll go back/forward making sometimes difficult to hold a position. These are more-so problems with the 'Air' than Moshi's product. All in all, I'd suggest it and it's definitely needed, unless you'll never move your MacBook.

    This case is awesome!

    • Written by from Bellefontaine

    I purchased the clear Moshi case for my new MacBook Air and couldn't be happier. It figs snugly to the notebook but removes easily for cleaning. The case does not inhibit the opening or closing of the notebook and I have not noticed any scratching to the outside of the notebook when I removed it for cleaning. This is a great case for the MacBook Air!
