Great scratch resistant case

Overall this case was a positive experience. It offers more than enough protection against scratches and adds a nice touch to your MacBook. My only two complaints are these. First, the price. $80 for two pieces of plastic is insane. Sure, it adds "protection" to your MacBook, but if you drop your laptop while it's open, even this thing doesn't protect the hinges from damage. And if you drop it with a closed one, it adds protection "OK". The second issue I have with this case is how it opens…

Pros
  • This is awesome
Cons
  • Can do harm

Not for everyone. READ PLEASE.

As the title says, this case is definitely not for everyone. Right from the start, this case delivers what it promises. It's easy to install, fits snugly, and feels solid. I believe this will definitely protect your MacBook in case of a fall. However, one "feature" of the case really put me off and forced me to send it back, namely the "double-lock closure". For some reason, instead of a locking mechanism in the middle of the case that would spread the tension evenly across the screen, this…

Pros
  • High-quality workmanship
Cons
  • I'm pissed off

Works and fits perfectly. Super durable.

So I work as a commercial photographer and need my computer on site to capture (stream) my photos from my camera to my laptop so I can view a larger image instead of a 3 inch LCD. Screen on the back of the camera. This "case" allows me a quick setup. While I don't mind using a case, I've found that the polycarbonate case protects my investment (and my clients' photos) from potential damage. I have a new mid 2017 MacBook Pro Retina with an A1707 Touch Bar and it fits like a glove. I think it's…

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • Neutral

Do not buy! Screen/display replacement cost me $808

The product is very solid except for two BIG issues, one of which cost me $808.22, around a 15-inch -Late 2019 model to repair. MacBook Pro. The key problem with the case is that due to the "lock" on both sides of the case, you have to unlock (o LOCK) both sides at the same time. If this is not the case, or one corner is UNLOCKED (or LOCKED) before the other corner, you are putting undue stress on the screen/LCD. Stress from repetitive activities can lead to screen/display breakage. That's what

Pros
  • Useful beyond intended purpose
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

Looks solid, very easy to install, a bit difficult to remove

I was hesitant to purchase this case as there was a lot of negative feedback about the top cover being difficult to remove, without damaging them. Screen. I can safely remove it, just not exactly as shown in the UAG tutorial video. In particular, if you try to remove the side clips on both sides of the screen at once, you're likely to run into trouble. I found that I could manipulate the top cap to slightly loosen the clips on one side, which made them difficult to unclip. After one side is…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

WILL FIX YOUR MONITOR IF YOU TRY TO REMOVE!

This product did a great job protecting my Macbook Pro. After three months of use, it appeared to offer adequate protection and serve its purpose. That was until it was time to remove it. My Macbook started having audio problems (not related to this incident) so I took it to the store to have it sent in for repair. When I got to the store I was told I would have to remove the case before they could ship it. I started playing around with the suitcase and tried to take it off when I realized how…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Sun-Sun
