Review on Protective MacBook Pro Case 13 Inch A1502/A1425 - Hard Shell Cover With Sleeve, Keyboard Skin, Screen Guard & Dust Plug - Serenity Blue (2012-2015 Models) By Se7Enline by Craig Kumar

I bought this case solely for the case (with the added benefits of the keyboard cover and plug covers) because I wanted to add a little protection to my Macbook and change the color.I'm fairly happy with it as it seems like a nice case with one or two very small issues/imperfections. If you buy this, buy it for the case (and keyboard cover. and possibly some of the plug covers).Pros:-- The plastic seems good. It doesn't feel like a cheap material. It felt a little rough at first (as if you were wiping very light dirt off it; not perfectly smooth) but this lessens over some time. You can't actually see what causes this.-- The case is translucent, so the Apple logo's light still shines through (with a very light, blue tint).-- The case does exactly what I wanted (protection and color change).--The inside portion of the case is somehow some sort of grippy plastic. I'm not sure if this actually helps secure it in place, but the case is securely on the Macbook.-- The case has a vented bottom, although I do not think it helps much with heat.-- There are holes in the bottom half of the case for the side vents and they line up very well. I feel like this is a very important feature in any case.-- The keyboard cover fits the keyboard accurately and is thin and grippy on the back. It should be able to stay on fairly well and doesn't interfere too much with typing.-- I think I saw a review or two saying that this is a fingerprint magnet. I disagree.Cons:-- The case may be hard to take off. I tried at one point and ended up possibly cracking one of the securing tabs a little (see picture). I decided I wasn't going to try to take it off after that.-- You can see where the tabs are molded due to a small square/rectangle near each of them (see picture). This doesn't really bother me though as it isn't too visible on the black version.-- There could have been one more securing tab on the top portion of the case in the center (right above the webcam). This is the best area to push/pull on in order to open the Macbook as it puts the least twisting pressure on the screen. When you go to push/pull on this area, the case flexes outward a little due to it. There could also possibly have been one on each side of the screen, but the lack of these may be to avoid extra pressure on the screen in case of an imperfect fit.-- The securing tabs on the top half and the indents in the bottom half to accommodate for them don't line up perfectly when the Macbook is closed (see picture of the tab with the possible crack in it). It doesn't really bother me and has no impact on the function of the case. it is just a tiny imperfection.-- The feet on the bottom of the case start to wear, causing some sort of film to begin peeling (see picture). I'll just peel it off and it should be fine.-- Although this is also a Pro (see "Pros”) the case is translucent, so you can still see some things on the Macbook through it. Take my picture of the bottom, for example. You can still see the word "Macbook Pro” and the screws.-- Light does not shine through the letters of the keyboard protector. You can see how the backlighting of the keys works with it in one of my pictures (in it, the backlight is at the highest setting). Essentially, you can see the outlines of the keys (and the Caps Lock light), but not the letters. I made the camera take a picture that matches about what you see in real life.-- The plug covers are. disappointing, but okay. Some fit, some don't. The USB ones do not fit for me. The two card plugs are two different thicknesses, so one doesn't fit. This may be to accommodate other models of Macbooks (the same plug package is probably included in several different model options). The impressions on the plugs are backwards, hence the "HDWI” (which is upside down and backwards in the picture) on the HDMI plug. The ones that do fit work nice, though I do not use them for this Macbook.Other Notes:-- I did not try the screen protector due to what I read in other reviews. Apparently it is not worth messing with. I didn't want to deal with bubbles anyways and take fairly decent care of my screen to begin with. (The thing is closed half the time and any extra thickness on the screen makes me nervous since the keys already touch the screen when closed. I can tell this due to eventual grease marks on the screen exactly matching the key shapes.)-- I did not use the slip cover as I already had another that was of better quality, but if I remember correctly, it was decent (no zipper though). I gave it to someone else.
