## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pleased with the buy, definitely worth the money to protect your Mac.
*by L***M on April 2, 2013*

The product was shipped exceptionally fast to Singapore in 1 week and 2 days from placement of order,which was also 10 days earlier than the estimated shipping date! It was cheaper than store price too and I'm glad to have found it as I've been looking for a decent MacBook Pro 13" (without RD) case in Apple retails stores all over the island to no avail. (Don't know why I could only find 15" MacBook Pro ones for Speck,seems like a marketing strategy to discourage customers from buying the cheaper,non-RD MacBooks.)I'm impressed by the fast delivery and pleased by the ease of settling it on my MacBook Pro as well. It snaps on rather fluidly with a nice click. It covers and leaves parts uncovered where it's needed, unlike cheap third-party cases that has skimpy coverage and exposes the back's edges(although this way,your charger won't fully go in if it's plugged from behind). Even though it has a matte satin finishing which makes it rather translucent, the apple logo, LED sleep light and battery charge indicators are still visible. It gives the apple logo a fuzzy quality when it is lit because of the matte finish and the little air space in between(shan't go into detail with how light rays go through mediums of different density and bend). I LOVE the deep red colour. Rubber feet gives a stable feel and makes the light impact when my MacBook touches down on the table surface feel cushioned. The material definitely feels durable too and smooth to the touch. It also gives more grip as compared to shiny-surfaced plastic cases. Oily fingerprints, which are easily cleaned off, would definitely appear but in most cases minor touches won't leave a fingerprint. I don't see myself assiduously polishing away smudges or dirt like I did without a case.Only down factor was that the item was received with a few minor scratches on the top frosted matte surface; a minor flaw since it's supposed to be taking the knocks and scratches,not my MacBook (: If you are looking for light material, however, you might like to know that it lends some significant weight to your MacBook Pro with it's sturdy-feeling material. Just think of it as extra exercise when you carry around your laptop.One thing I question is why there's a little air space in between the top and my MacBook's surface. It makes my mac a little thicker(of course) and feels slightly cushiony; therefore, my guess is that it's to make it easier to remove the top portion or to cushion an impact from the top surface of your Mac by offsetting the pressure.It also ventilates the air pretty well. My MacBook doesn't feel so hot after some gaming and heavily used applications.Overall, this case was well-designed in aesthetics, function, and well-made with good material that feels strong and smooth to the touch. A quality product that is worth the money and leaves little left to be desired. Don't let your MacBook do without it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good fit, feel, and color
*by C***E on February 20, 2013*

When I was looking for a case for my MacBook Pro, I was looking for a few things in particular, and this case hits them all solidly.First, color: I really wanted a red case, but aside from this one all I could find was very bright reds--not what I was looking for. I got the SeeThru Satin in Pomodoro Red, and though I was a little wary of going only by pictures, none of them do it any justice. This color is absolutely gorgeous; a dark wine-red, almost-but-not-quite burgundy. It's a lovely, rich color unlike any I've seen from other brands. It's probably what makes me happiest about this case!Second, fit. The biggest concern for me in this area was the space around the magsafe adaptor; I almost always attach the cord so it leads behind the computer. The case that I bought previously, from Incase, was too bulky in this area and would not allow the magsafe to connect securely in that position. That was a dealbreaker so I returned it; the SeeThru case is thinned in that area just enough to allow me to plug the magsafe in the way I want it with no problem.In general, the pieces are formed very neatly and fit the computer quite well. I've seen several reviews saying that the tabs that hold the shells on can break easily, but initially at least they seem sturdy. One minor nitpick; on the case I received, one of the tabs is shorter than the others which may limit its holding power, and another barely sits over the edge of the computer. However, it still takes a good solid tug to pull those corners off, so I'm not overly concerned.The edge of the case below the trackpad is completely flush with the computer and does not bother my arms at all while I'm typing--in fact, it's a little MORE comfortable now, since the edge is a softer shape and not as sharp as the bare MacBook.Last, feel and durability. The satin finish has a nice matte feel to it, and it's not quite as grippy on my fingers as the glossy Incase case that I returned (that may not be a plus for some people, but it is for me). Fingerprints don't show up at all, and as far as scratches go, it seems reasonably resistant. One very minor quibble is that on the case I received, there is a small (~3mm) grey blemish on the lid near the front. It's hardly noticeable and doesn't bother me at all, but it did resist my attempt to rub it off.All in all, I'm quite pleased, and highly recommend the Pomodoro Red color! The only thing keeping me from giving a five-star review is the two tabs that don't fit as perfectly as the others.Edit: Over two months later (May 3rd), I'm still very pleased with this case. I have had zero issues with either piece coming off, only the occasional corner coming free slightly when I've accidentally given it a direct yank. The case has only one scratch on it after routine use, a ~5mm grey mark on the side of the lid that's hardly noticeable. I treat my laptop with care but not with kid gloves, so I feel that it's held up very solidly through normal useage. The color is still gorgeous and the satin finish still looks and feels great. If I could, I would bump my rating for this case up to 4.5/5.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classy, well-made laptop case
*by S***N on February 3, 2013*

I got this after mistakenly thinking that buying a cheap laptop case wouldn't make a difference. My cheap case lasted the extent of my college Winter break and then started to break, starting at the edges.So I set off to find a better laptop case, and ended up buying Speck's red "satin" case. It's absolutely delightful to the touch and this is the only laptop case I've found that covers ALL the bottom edges of my MacBook. Usually other cases will not protect the back hinge-corners of the bottom of my laptop, which leaves them exposed to scratches and scuffs, dents, etc. I am so glad this one protects the entirety of my laptop! Also, MacBook Pros do NOT need ventilation holes on the bottom because the fan vents are located in the hinge of the laptop, and I was always annoyed with how all other laptop cases had extensive holes and slits in the bottom casing, which let in a lot more dirt and dust than I wanted between the case and the laptop - and that can cause scratches! This case here has a few slits, but very few and most of the bottom casing is solid (see pictures I uploaded).The apple logo still shines through nicely, a teensy bit fuzzy around the edges, but not much. Very nice matte look!I know that this case will definitely be the case I've always wanted for my laptop - it's perfect!! Thank you Speck for making such a quality MacBook case :)
