this is the best laptop case you can get

For the price, this is the best laptop case you can get. The keyboard cover is incredibly thin but a little sticky to the touch, so it's a bit uncomfortable if you're used to the really snappy Apple keyboard. The cover fits perfectly.At first I was concerned about how dramatically thin this case was compared to Speck cases I bought for other models, but it's thin because the Macbook Air is thin. If you're looking for a case that can handle a drop, you don't need to own an Air.The color is…

Pros
  • Hard Plastic Case with Rubber paint over Top and Bottom Covers for Silky-Smooth soft-touch. Smooth yet grippy rubberized matte exterior texture
Cons
  • The case is prone to cracking under pressure

FITS PERFECTLY! best in my review

FITS PERFECTLY! I've purchased several hard cases for my MacBook Air 11 but they've never fit properly - they all partially blocked my back ports so my charger etc was never really in the port all the way :( But this case is awesome! It was so easy to put on (unlike others), I hooked the top edges first and the back just went on like a glove. The case has a soft rubberized texture (so much better than the hard plastic shiny ones) plus this one comes with a cleaning cloth and matching keyboard…

Pros
  • ‎11.6 Inches
Cons
  • The case is not waterproof

Great protection without adding too much bulk

I have two of these covers. A clear one for my 13 inch Macbook Pro Retina and a grey one for my 11 inch Macbook Air. They fit great and are way more convenient than using padded sleeves. They don't add much bulk and i like that I can throw my laptops in a bag knowing that they're well protected. Some people comment on the fact that they pick up fingerprints and smudges easily. That is definitely true due to the matte finish. However I wipe mine down with Goo Gone every few weeks which makes the

Pros
  • Made from durable materials for long-lasting use
Cons
  • The keyboard cover prevents the keyboard from being fully opened

Great lightweight protection for the MacBook Air

Case arrived on time and well packaged. It is exactly what I wanted, a minimally sized, light weight cover to protect my Macbook Air. The cover comes in two parts, a separate upper and lower piece and also includes a very supple silicon keyboard cover. Non skid silicon stick on "feet" for the bottom cover keep the computer in place on slippery surfaces. The hard plastic covers fit snugly and do not easily come off and are so thin that they add less than a quarter of an inch to the…

Pros
  • ‎Crystal Clear
Cons
  • The case is difficult to remove from the MacBook Air 11

Great case at a great price

I consider laptop covers an accessory so they often change with my mode. I've been in the market for a light blue one and this one was perfect. It snapped on easily, was shipped quickly and was the exact color I wanted. One thing to note about this cover is that if you have any oil on your hands, it a pretty good possibility that it will rub off onto the case. I've noticed quite a few fingerprints on mine after putting lotion or something else on my hands. A cloth will easily remove this but I…

Pros
  • Computers & Accessories
Cons
  • The keyboard cover deteriorates quickly with frequent use

This is my favorite one by far

I have purchased several of these similar covers for my Mac. This is my favorite one by far. First, it came with instructions to attach, which would have been helpful with the first one I purchased (particularly with the top cover as putting it on upside down makes it hard to open all the way and they are tough to remove and put back on once they are on there). Also, the keyboard cover for this particular color is clear, which is

Pros
  • Hard Shell Cases

I like it a lot! - my new review

I've had the cover for a few days now. When it arrived, I pulled the plastic off and my nine year old popped it on my Mac. I checked to make sure that all sides were snapped in and he missed one or two but it still felt very secure. I took a star off for the keyboard cover. I love the look of the key board cover but I prefer no cover because it slows down my ability to type due to the material it's made of. Other than that it's great for the price. This gives the Mac a cute/personal look and…

Pros
  • Great for students and professionals who want to keep their MacBook Air 11 protected
Cons
  • The case prevents the MacBook Air 11 from cooling properly

This does not fit a Macbook Air 11 inch (A1465)

The case does not fit. I have a 2015 (Late March, A1465) Macbook Air, 11 inch. The bottom of the case fits fine, but the top cover keeps popping off. There is no way to get all 5 of the edge "clips" to hold around the edge without cracking one of them. I just ordered a different brand now. Yes, I read the instructions (which are very poorly written/illustrated). This is just an inferior product. Going straight in the trash as it's not worth the gas to drop it off at the post…

Pros
  • Soft-touch finish for a comfortable feel
Cons
  • The case is not drop-resistant

Good Value. On My Second One, Would (and Have) Buy Again.

The hard plastic "case" snaps into place easily and protects my MacAir 11. This the second one of these I have purchased, the first being about 3 years ago. The MacAir is the laptop which goes into my carry on/carry with travel back and thus is treated a little roughly at times. I found my first Ruban case to be showing age and a "few hits" so it was cheap and easy to replace. Obviously I liked it well enough to by the same product. Included is the silicone keyboard cover. I did

Pros
  • Slim design does not add unnecessary bulk to your laptop
Cons
  • The case is difficult to clean

Great value, decent product.

Great value but its not amazing. the case fits great and snapped on no problem to my mid 2011 Macbook Air. One thing i don't like is the cheap foam feet on the bottom of the case. they look and feel very cheap. The keyboard cover fits decently, i think it is very hard to make keyboard covers for the macbook air because the keyboard isn't very indented it sticks up a very little bit at the bottom corners. Overall its a great value and it works well. I am going to use it while traveling to keep…

Pros
  • ‎11 x 7.7 x 0.6 inches
Cons
  • The keyboard cover does not fit snugly onto the keyboard

Good product that protects as it describes.

I recently purchased this item for my 2013 11.6" Macbook Air. It came with the cover for the top and bottom as well as the keyboard protector. I agree with most of the posters reviews on this product. I read them and I still decided to purchase this one because I wanted the red cover. There are a couple little things and that is whyI am giving it a 4 stars rating. The keyboard cover does not fit exact. IMO it's because it's the exact same size as the keyboard so it does not cover the keys…

Pros
  • Specifically designed for MacBook Air 11.6-inch Models A1370 / A1465 - Release 2015 / 2014 / 2013 / 2012 / 2011 / 2010
Cons
  • The keyboard cover muffles sound output from the MacBook Air 11

Pleased with my purchase for the most part.

I have had a few months to use this product and I am mostly pleased with it. The case cover fits nicely on my MacBook Air and it is protective. The keyboard cover is nice as well, it fits snugly over my keyboard and i am relieved that no substance will get between my keys. The only thing was the color duller than what I was expecting. It has a matte finish and wasn't shiny.which is ok.not a big deal. The matte finish on the case is peeling around the edges. I had gotten my daughter a different…

Pros
  • Easy to install and remove
Cons
  • The keyboard cover causes the keyboard to feel sticky

Love the color. in my review

I bought this because it’s my favorite color and I’ve been wanting a cloudy case for my laptop. It looks better in person too. The only down side is that it leaves finger prints. No matter how dry your hands are the oil in your fingers leave marks. Also the keyboard cover didn’t fit my keyboard it was slightly too big which is odd because the case fit perfectly. It wasn’t a big enough deal to return though I just made a slit and made it work.

Pros
  • Resistant to scratches and scuffs
Cons
  • The keyboard cover interferes with the MacBook Air 11’s microphone

Very nice case on my review.

Like the feel of the case. Very snug fit. Feels very durable. Keyboard case didn't fit well but I didn't really want the keyboard cover anyway. It was an added item i didn't expect.

Pros
  • Easy to carry with you on the go
Cons
  • The keyboard cover takes time to get used to

Good enough in my review

The top cover has a little gap at the corners but it fits securely. Perfectly clear and offers great protection for my MacBook.

Pros
  • Available in a variety of colors to match your personal style
Cons
  • The keyboard cover does not provide a good typing experience
