Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very nice but questionable quality

This case looks very nice! I wanted to post some photos of the purple gradient as I haven't seen the others, but the photos I took don't do it justice. It looks a lot better live. It fits perfectly on my Macbook Pro 2020 with four Thunderbolt ports (A2251). For those who say it doesn't fit their MacBook, are you sure your MacBook is the latest 2020 version? It snapped onto mine fairly easily, I started at the back and worked my way forward and my Macbook was stuck. I can fully open my laptop (pictured) and all the dust caps fit my ports. I will not be using a screen protector or keyboard cover to comply with Apple's advice not to leave anything on the screen or keys when you close the laptop as this could cause problems so I will not comment on this. A couple of negatives for me that I'll note - the bottom of the case is very tight and doesn't slide BUT it's very scratchy plastic and I'm afraid it will scratch my laptop's aluminum case if I decide to close it remove it. Also, my bottom cover had a chalk/paint texture when opened (pictured). It didn't seem to come off much after cleaning, but some of the chalky flakes were still rubbed off. I'm still putting this case on to try it out, but again I'm worried about the debris coming off my MacBook, especially after it's gotten warm from use. Also, I'm sorry I didn't notice the Apple logo was cut out. Had I known this I might not have received this particular case as I was looking for a case that would completely hide my Apple logo. Although this is just my preference. I also received a clear case to try on later, although I will note that while they are presumably made by the same company, the clear case was packaged slightly differently than the gradient purple. The gradient purple case had a long, rectangular piece of styrofoam to protect it from pressure damage, while the clear case only had a thin strip of plastic, resembling an egg crate, that didn't fully protect it from cracks that pressure might have caused during shipping. This could explain why some reviewers have reported cracks in their cases. Just something manufacturers should be aware of and buyers should be wary of. Overall I would recommend this case to anyone looking for some protection for the 2020 MacBook Pros, but be careful not to damage the case even on your laptop. I will update in the future if I get scratches after removing the case.

Pros
  • Special offer
