You know I was thinking about this the other day I just don't treat my macbook with the same care as I do my iPhone. I guess it is more like a workhorse or a tool than an obsession or something I must keep perfect. The black looks kinda cool but Especially with the air being out I just really like the thinness of the macbook. When it first came out it was definitely one of the thinnest laptops available.

This hard shell case look exactly like the Speck SeeThru Case which are prone to scratching the MB something awful.

Its because of the reviews I've read that I opted for a neoprene case. I'd like to know if these hard cases by Incase also produce the same horrible scratches.

I have heard about the scratching issue with the speck cases. If you look at the reviews on the apple website the scratching issue is mentioned and all of the reviews say that this case does not scratch. I think I am going to get it...

Thanks for the link to those reviews. Seems that this case is highly favored- I may have to look into this one myself. On another note, I still feel that Apple should remove that dangerous Speck Case from their site. That thing does more harm than good.

No problem. I am surprised as well that they still sell them. I am sure they get LOTS of complaints!

I'm sure the bad reviews about the Speck case on Apples site is nothing compared to people just taking them back to the store for refunds.

What I'd like to know is if Apple did anything for these customers as a result of the damages the MacBooks sustained from these cases; especially those whose purchase of the MacBook was only a few hours old and within those few hours, end up with a laptop that looks like they had it at least 10 years.

Thats a good question. I have never personally known anyone with this experience, I have only heard from online forums about the damage caused by these cases. Do you have personal experience with the speck cases?
