Review on Galaxy Pattern Hard Case For MacBook Pro 15 Inch With Touch Bar & USB-C 2016-2019 Release Model A1990 A1707 - Nebula/Green By UESWILL by Chad Gomez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Even without the fifth star, this case is far better than any other case. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

I rated this a four star but recommend its purchase above all other cases, because I do not believe there are any other cases that achieve more than a three star rating. This is indeed a fantastic case. but just barely falls short of a five star rating. Read on to find out why.The case/laptop fit is perfect and has a soft/rubber like feel (really comfortable). The bottom mounting approach is heads-above that use by other cases as all other cases (I've used in the past) rely on corners to mount the bottom part of the case. The corners ALWAYS end of breaking off due to the stress they encounter as you lay the laptop down on a table (one of the back corners will always touch before the other - imparting high stress). This case avoids that problem by employing very small clasps that snap into the air vent on back/bottom of the laptop. It's hard to see them, so the case appears to magically bound to the bottom of the laptop. Bottom line. it's a really ingenious design, made with high quality materials and has a fantastic price (half the price of many other covers). The only draw-back to this case is that the white "feet" on the bottom of the case came off in the first month of use. However, I don't think the feet are needed because here is a raised (about 1mm high) ring around the locations where white feet are glued. This ring serves as a foot in the absence of the larger white foot pads. Indeed the rings lift the laptop high enough off of flat surfaces to allow for sufficient cooling airflow so there's no "functional" problem with the loss of the feet. In any case, my rule is: any problem with a product (however small) must preclude the full five star award. But make no mistake about it, even missing the fifth star, this case is heads above the others.
