Customer Review: Great case for 2009 Macbook Pro 15 Unibody
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm the type that loves to keep my things new and scratch free as long as possible, so I considered some of the other cases and skins to protect the aluminum body of my new Macbook Pro 15. I also wanted to show the natural aluminum body, since I consider this Apple a work of art: very clean, well designed, put together, and modern looking.
I considered getting either the Incase or the Satin Speck cases, but they were all colored or tinted. None were offered in the clear case except for the Speck See Thru Clear Hard case. The satin cases can also rub off and show the shiny hard plastic underneath, as was done to my cellphone satin case. I seriously considered getting the Bodyguardz or similar that provide a thick urethane skin but they required it to be applied on wet. I've applied this to my Ipod, but I wasn't too keen on applying this to my new Macbook Pro, worrying about getting water into the computer and voiding the warranty. The Gelaskin is applied dry, but again, I couldn't find a clear version. They all had a pattern or picture that were applied to the skin. The skins protected against scratches, but nothing else. The only solution was the Speck Clear case which also had it's own issues too.
The Speck Clear case is smooth, and will eventually get scratched and scraped, but better the case than the Macbook. I already tested the protection the case provided by accident because of the slickness of the case. After I installed the clear case over the Macbook, which wasn't difficult to put on or remove, I put the case in a neoprene sleeve that still fit perfectly. I was surprised that it fit so well, and didn't add much more bulk. However, the sleeve opens at the side, and not from the top. Well, after using it a couple of times, I forgot to zip up the side, and the computer slipped out of the sleeve with great ease. Ouch, OH NO I cried. I thought I either broke the case, the computer, or both. To my surprise, after dropping about 2 feet (onto a hardwood floor), there was no damage to either case or computer. A testimony to the rugged protection offered by the Speck case.
I'd give it 5 stars if it was not as slick, and more rubberize, but the clear is only available in the slick hard case. It shows the natural beauty and color of the Macbook Pro, and provides the protection it was meant for. I haven't noticed any heat issues, as it is vented underneath and the case can be easily removed to clean between the computer and the case. All ports, slot disc, button for the battery is accessible by design. The tabs to clip over the case is secure, but minimal as to not add to the bulk or natural look of the Macbook. The case is well designed to the new mid 2009 Macbook Pro unibody (black keys).
Over all, I'm impressed with the case and would highly recommend this if you want to protect and keep your Macbook Pro new and clean.
