speck macbook cases

swingking

I was loking in spectra at one of these cases today and it looks really good. A hard shell for a macbook seems better than a cushioned sleeve.

Has anyone ever used one before?

Never had one but they get very bad reviews on the online apple store

I used have one for my MacBook, it was prone to scratching (understandable, it's just plastic) and dirt used gather in the crevices etc. In the end I just got sick of it and couldn't be bothered putting it on. The cheaper knock offs might be worth a look on eBay.

visiting the site in ff3...

"it seems your browser is out of date..."

:rolleyes: just because you's have done a check to see if i'm running ff2.0 or ie7 doesn't say my browser is out of date if i'm using either of them

it also hides the apple logo and makes your macbook look like one of them dell coloured laptops.

I have one of the cheap eBay ones and I have to say that it has far exceeded my expectations. I thought I too would get sick of it but it has kept my Mac clean and scratch free which can only be a good thing.

don't get one. everyone i know that bought one literally took it off after a couple of weeks. One friend that bought one said it actually scratched his macbook.

how could something that is meant to protect your laptop actually scratch it

I can understand it scratching your laptop if you keep removing it and putting it back on, but if you keep it on if sure it would prevent scratching ?

Dirt depositing and then grating against the surface I'd imagine, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility anyway.

cool thanks for the replies.

I'll steer clear of that case anyway.

I was seriously about to buy one and didn't think for a moment it could scratch my macbook. I'm so pleased I didn't buy one.
