Customer Review: Can this REALLY protect my computer? Well...Sort of!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I decided to buy this product after carefully reading over most every review written.
When I got the product i was shocked to see how frail and flexible the plastic really was, mixed reports of the strenght of the plastic made this aspect of the product hard to really understand. So let me say once and for all: the plastic is very weak, and seemingly offers no protection. For a comparision: it's about as strong as the plastic on a CD case. They could have made a product with a greater density and no added bulk, but what you see is what you get.
Next, as stated in many other reviews, the top right corner of the case does not clip in...at all. So there is a posibility of the case breaking if snaged (e.g. the corner is caught on a cord or something and you go to pick it up *snap*).
So what are the Ups? Well, the case does look sweet on, and I still get comments about it. The case truely does offer a unique look to the Mac Book Pro. Another up is that it will protect the bottom and top from scratches, but this is no feat. I'm almost certain that I scratched part of the case removing it from the plastic. But if it takes something of my 2.5 k computer, I'm happy. But don't expect this to make you computer drop proof. I bought another case that is really intense for that...it actually looks like an old man bag...no the look I was shooting for: " Brenthaven Edge II Sleeve (Black) for 15.4" MacBook Pro "
In concludion: if you want a unique look, scratch protection, and sub-standard plastic, this is for you. I am happy with it overall, understanding that it is NOT super strong and has a lot of potential to be a five star product. IF you want something that MAY be stronger, maybe look for a case that isn't clear, odds are: it isn't clear because the plastic is denser.
*RumorS*
Rumor has it that the case causes overheating. I have had no trouble with anything like this YET. I can see how the case MIGHT prohibit the proper amount of ventilation when charging or watching a movie, and especially when charging AND watching a movie.
