The finish and color are fine. The shipping time was as I expected

The finish and color are fine. The shipping time was as I expected. The actual protective value of this product is most likely minimal. This is strictly a cover to add color and somewhere to place your stickers, in case you don't want them on the actual aluminum. However, my biggest issue is that the top cover for the back of my display doesn't fit properly. It doesn't seem to be wide enough. In other words the cover will fit one side but it will not cover the other side at the same time. The…

Pros
  • ‎14.5 ounces
Cons
  • Can be difficult to remove once installed

Kuzy Blue Rubberized Hard Cover for Macbook Pro w/ Retina

Bought this item for my new 15-inch MBP w/ Retina Display. Came as promised. Easily "assembled" (that is, after I put it on backwards AND upside down -- user error). Snaps right on to the base of the MBP without much hassle. It does have a tendency to show "grease" marks, but that's a symptom of my eating habits more than a flaw in the product. It is a hard case, but the rubberized top layer is a nice touch because it's slip resistant. I should note that two of the four black…

Pros
  • Love this cover, I have used it for years!
Cons
  • Limited color options

Decent case, nice color and feel.

The color and feel of the case are really nice, but it doesn't really protect much. It falls off easily if the laptop is dropped and can sometimes slide off while moving the laptop. All four of the rubber feet fell of and some left a sticky residue, but it is easily removable. This is a decent case and it looks nice, but I wouldn't rely on it to protect your electronics.

Pros
  • Rubberized finish provides a non-slip grip for improved handling
Cons
  • Could potentially attract scratches and scuffs

A cutting edge in my review

Fit the Macbook well, but the edges of the plastic specifically around the palm rest are a little sharp for my liking. Rounding and finishing the edges a little better in manufacturing would have given this product a 5 start rating.

Pros
  • ‎15 x 10 x 0.91 inches
Cons
  • May scratch easily

It does fit the computer well. Mine has a couple of small bumps in the finish and didn't seem like the quality control team was totally in to of their game compared to other users' reviews. But. It fits. It works. It looks OK. It does the job, it protects the finish.

Pros
  • Enhances grip while typing on your MacBook Pro keyboard
Cons
  • May collect dust inside the case over time

The fit is perfect. Love the color and texture

We got our first scratch on our new 15" MBP which prompted us to immediately look for a serviceable cover. The Kuzy cover is exactly what we needed. The fit is perfect. Love the color and texture. Nice and grippy. I will add, that for those who do not have 20/20 vision the case has some very small tabs that help the cover grip to the computer. If your cover is not staying firmly attached to the computer then you have missed something. The fit is perfect, nice and snug. Money well spent.

Pros
  • Perfect for students, business professionals, and creative individuals who rely on their MacBook Pro every day
Cons
  • May trap dust and dirt under the case

Generally good! - my new review

Good product - easy to put on, color as described, texture feels good (slightly matte, not too cheap feeling). The ventilation holes line up perfectly which I thought was thoughtful. Also, the gray stickers on the base raise the laptop slightly which help with ventilation. Only problem I have with the product is that the back corners of the base of the laptop (near the bottom right and left of the screen) are not protected.

Pros
  • Designed to last for years of reliable use
Cons
  • May not provide enough grip for easy carrying

Worth the money for my opinion

Looks great, fits great. Was hoping for a bit more rubberized texture but I recommend it for your MAC. Definitely worth it.

Pros
  • Computers & Accessories
Cons
  • May affect the laptop's battery life

Great outer shell for Macbook

I gave this 4 stars as the bottom doesn't snap on as easily as it should. I have had this for my 15" Retina Macbook Pro and it is a great shell and cover for the MBP. It does its job keeping it safe from scratches and outer dust on the cover. The blue color is very deep and it is a nice contrast for the MBP. It doesn't add much weight at all. Just as a warning when you receive it you might think it is just cheap plastic, but it definitely holds up over time.

Pros
  • Maintains the ergonomic design of the MacBook Pro for comfortable use
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain stands or docking stations

Great case! best in my review

This is a great cover, very smooth and looks seamless when the laptop lid is closed. The only issue I have and its 100% personal is the edge on the bottom piece that borders the front of the base (near the trackpad). Its flush with the base but the edge is a little rough and irritates my forearms after a while.

Pros
  • Durable hard case ensures your MacBook Pro is protected against scratches and dents
Cons
  • May warp or bend over time

Perfect fit on my Macbook 15 Retina

This shell for the Macbook is a perfect fit with vent holes in the right places and all the ports have easy access. The plastic feels a little flimsy when you receive it but after putting it on the Mac it's just right. The texture/feel of the rubberized finish is just enough to give you a little extra grip on the laptop. I'll report back over time to see if it has developed any cracks or has come loose. So far so good and I'm very happy with the purchase.Update after several months of use: It's

Pros
  • Provides a level of protection for the MacBook Pro display against accidental scratches
Cons
  • Could potentially limit the laptop's heat dissipation capabilities

Not Rubber at All. Just a Hard Case (but works great).

I'm happy with this. I didn't really know what "Rubberized Hard Case" meant when I bought this, so I expected it to be more "rubber" and less "hard". I'm not really sure what about this case is at all "rubberized". It seems like just a piece of plastic. Again, since I didn't know, I'm willing to accept that I made a false assumption. They should really remove the word "Rubberized" from the description altogether, IMHO.That said, the case is tough, stays…

Pros
  • Anti-scratch coating ensures the case looks great for an extended period of time
Cons
  • May be difficult to customize or personalize

Pretty good but might cover the magnets

This is a nice cover. The fit is good and it protects the MacBook. There are two issues - the bottom cover does create a slight rough edge under your wrists and the top might cover the magnets making it harder for the computer to turn back on after its closed. It did not happen all the time but it does happen from time-to-time. Overall its not a bad cover for the price.

Pros
  • Easy to install and remove for hassle-free use
Cons
  • Can be expensive

Love How the Rubberized Surface Feels!

At first I was confused by the name because its name says "hard case". Although there's "rubberized" in the name I was not sure about it because I had used a hard case before, and the "hard" feel was so impressively uncomfortable that I couldn't imagine how you can make a hard case touch good. And this case still seems pretty hard in the pictures. But it actually feels very soft when you touch it! The feel is amazing! You can't feel the hardness at all!

Pros
  • Easy to clean with a damp cloth or mild cleaning solution
Cons
  • May prevent the laptop from being used on uneven surfaces

Great color, rubberized protection, ok Fit

first off i want to say that Kuzy has great customer service. My shipment was lost and they were able to find it and get it to me quickly as well as offered to return my shipping costs for the inconvenience.The color is great, pretty much looks like the photos. The case was packed well and was triple wrapped in plastic to avoid scratches. This particular version has a rubberized coating that will help resist scratches. It does show fingerprints slightly but much less than the glossy plastic…

Pros
  • Helps prevent wear and tear caused by regular use of the MacBook Pro
Cons
  • May collect hair or fibers over time

Nice case!: my feedback

Wow! I was surprised at how nice this case is. I have had the Speck SeeThru Soft Satin case and it cracked on the side within a few months. This has a similar feel to the touch but the composite material feels more durable. Love the color. It snapped on easily and it doesn't add bulk or weight to the computer. I would buy it again.

Pros
  • Bags, Cases & Sleeves
Cons
  • May obstruct access to ports
