I’ve been using a red Speck SeeThru Hard Shell Case on my 15-inch MacBook Pro for two weeks now. Overall I’m very happy with it, no complaints. It fits perfectly snug and the openings to access the the side ports line up perfect. It’s very light weight and thin enough that I hardly notice it on there.

I especially like the rubber feet on the bottom as they are larger and more robust than the ones on the MacBook, so they elevate the machine higher to allow better air circulation. I initially had a concern about it retaining heat, but there are special ventilation slits on the bottom to prevent overheating. This also provides a layer of protection for those of you who suffer from MacBook leg burn.

This case provides extra protection from scratches and bumps, which is useful for me as I like to carry my MacBook around while it’s open AND I have two kids. It also provides some additional style. Now available in nine colors, including pink! I went with red to represent my company’s brand.

They retail for $49.95, available for 39.03 on Amazon, which you might say is a bit steep for a piece of plastic. But what your paying for is the high level of detail and engineering that has gone into making this fit and work as well as it does.

I really like the look and feel of the MacBook as it is, but the addition of this case what quite seamless and gives me a bit of comfort in the extra protection. I recommend this to anyone looking to add protection and color to you MacBook or MacBook Pro.
