Fits well and feels best in hard cases

The top fits very well and overall the soft touch texture is very nice. There are multiple cutouts on the bottom for different ports on the sides, so it's pretty flexible. The bottom stays in place but is held in place by two *very* thin pieces of plastic, and you can also push the sides away from the Macbook's aluminum body due to the flex. I had a feeling this would likely be a problem. My solution was to apply three 2" strips of 3M double sided tape to the bottom of the computer next to the…

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • so far so good

What happened to you bacon?!

If I could give this case any fewer stars, I would. I had a speck case on my old macbook from 2007 to this year, 7 years old, traveled the country, moved on, moved around the house and was mostly abused. I have never lost or broken a tab. In fact, to this day it's in mint condition (albeit a bit dirty) on my old Macbook Pro. Of course, like other reviewers, when I bought a new Macbook, I also bought a new Speck case because of this experience. I've had it for less than six months, the corners…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Disappears

Brilliant product! fits bags, cases and cases

Great case for the new MacBook Pro 15.4" Retina! No need for the tabs it uses to grip! Got it put it on and off multiple times and you can't even tell it was there. It's very durable and the material really looks that good and it's not a fingerprint magnet. It REALLY gets dirty and fingerprints but it takes time and it lets wipes off easily. The fit is so good that it doesn't leave much dust and dirt between it and your Macbook. I didn't notice any effect on cooling either. All the vents are…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • I can't remember but there was something

Buy the product, complain about the defect

All the reviewers before me agree that it's a beauty. And yes, underneath you can see the radiant and alluring apple. I've never seen so many reviewers saying they can't steer clear of a product with a serious flaw. The corners are plastic, but the front and back are a nice rubberized material. There are three MacBook Pro laptops in the house. All are color coded. (A juicy color palette.) It's literally a bolt to bolt. Unfortunately, during the day, without swearing, not to mention something…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
