Review on Hard Shell Case And Keyboard Cover For MacBook Pro 13 Inch With CD-ROM (2009-2012) - Black By RUBAN by Corey Katchem

This review is for the " RUBAN Case Compatible with MacBook Pro 13 inch 2012 2011 2010 2009 Release A1278, Plastic Hard Case Shell and Keyboard Cover for Older Version MacBook Pro 13 Inch with CD-ROM - Crystal Clear” ordered 5/15/2022 for $13.99I had this old InCase laptop cover that for whatever reason the lid portion became sticky. Even if I washed it the lid felt tacky like it was evolving into some huge glue trap you’d use to catch mice. Anyway, it needed to be replaced so I got this.I love that it came 100% scratch-free and lint-free. Zero blemishes. No pre-cleaning required before attaching to my old early-2011 MacBook Pro.It fits and feels securely fastened despite one of the tabs on the rear not fully seating down. My old laptop cover used to wrap up the bottom back side to cover the silver areas to the left and right of the black part (seen in one of the pictures) . This one doesn’t and actually stops short of covering the entire bottom. It still stays on however it affords zero protection on the back and rear corners. Definitely not a deal breaker for me, but it may be for others. If I traveled with this laptop (it just lives near a couch in the family room) I’d have to seriously consider if this is "the one.” The side protection is designed in a way that all ports and disc slot are accessible…I got this primarily so I can add photos to the top lid and it definitely works. Now let’s just see how long it holds up. If it has any structural fails or warping due to heat, I will update this review submitted on 5/18/2022.
