Acer Chromebook CB515-1ht-p39b Touchscreen

Just put on my pink hard case and it fits perfectly. It's definitely hard plastic and doesn't bend at all. I was very careful because I think the small parts that actually hold it to the computer could probably break off fairly easily during the snapping process, so be careful. There are good ventilation openings on the underside. It consists of 2 parts, an upper and a lower one. It's fairly transparent, so if you have stickers, labels, or whatever on your computer, you can still see it through the case. It's not as pink as I was hoping, probably because it's so transparent. It has more of a pearlescent look than a matte or flat color. It has two "legs" at the bottom to elevate the back of the computer, but again, it looks like they could easily break off. I could see the legs scratching on the table because everything is hard plastic on that side, whether the legs are closed or open. Opposite the legs (towards the front and down) there are rubberized elements on each side that prevent the computer from slipping on a smooth surface. The overall look is good, but since it's not flexible at all, I'm a bit worried about durability. Especially with legs (I think they will break off with frequent use). The sleeve only protects the outside of the computer and does not extend inwards at all. It seems to stay in place due to the tight fit. I would recommend it and consider if it's worth the price even though I think it will need to be replaced in a year or 6 months.
