Nicely Executed Product with Some [Expected] Drawbacks July 7, 2010

I'll give my opinions without going into much detail on the product's features, since you can find dozens of reviews for nearly identical products from Speck elsewhere on this site.
First, since this is the first review of this particular model... From what I can tell, what differentiates this product from previous models is that this one has a very subtle notch near the power port that allows the redesigned 2010 MagSafe connector to be connected in such a way that the cord runs away from the user. This is almost unnoticeable, but helps the MagSafe get a good, secure connection. This may have been existent on previous models, but I can't say for sure.
My general impression is that, while functional, this case will make your notebook seem less premium in a couple of ways:
1) The added bulk obviously alters the form factor of the notebook. To me, It's a worthwhile trade-off, since I can always pull the notebook out of the case when I want to return it to its sleek roots.
2) In my experience, the added weight that comes along with any case is particularly noticeable with the lid, and this one is no exception. While the Macbook Pro's hinge has plenty of strength to tolerate the added weight, adding the case makes it much easier to open/adjust/close the lid anytime it is working with gravity. I personally HATE a loose screen hinge, so while this case doesn't actually make the hinge any looser, it still bothers me that it FEELS looser.
Despite what may have seemed like a negative experience, I have found this to be a very good product, but not one without some drawbacks.
Other thoughts: As strange as it might look, I may end up using this case without the lid portion while I'm just at home, since most scratching opportunities will arise when setting the notebook down.
 Like a glove! August 14, 2010

This is a really great case! It snaps right on and fits like a glove. Once on, you forget its there. It provides excellent protection as well and it looks GOOD! This case has a slight notch to accommodate the new 2010 MBP adapters.
Only con is that fingerprints do leave marks on the case. If that bothers you, you might have to wipe it down often. It doesn't bother me at all. But I wipe it down occasionally because it just looks slick when its nice and clean.
The texture of the case is really grippy. You don't feel like it will fall out of your hand. It provides good traction with hand when carrying it.
I recommend pairing this with the incase neoprene sleeve for maximum protection for those on the go. It fits nice and snug. I am a law student and I am constantly packing up and setting back up again. I carry this set up in my backpack and it provides good protection. Overall, I highly recommend this product. It is so well done, I'm really surprised Apple didn't come up with product.

Just got it. Snapped right into place. Fits like a glove and leaves the outlet areas uncovered. Excellent fit and finish. My brand new macbook pro won't get scratched and looks cool too. The apple shines through on top... Elegant cover for a beautiful machine!
Best one yet August 27, 2010

I have had this on my computer for 2 days now and I LOVE it. The color is exactly what you'd expect from looking at the picture, and it fits perfectly on a MacBook Pro. Other shells I have ordered have made the Apple logo look fuzzy and weird, but this one fits so well on both the bottom and the top that it is clear as day. I haven't had it on long enough yet to know whether it keeps the computer clean, but the consensus in other reviews seems to be that it does. Also, my computer hasn't gotten any hotter on the bottom with the shell than it did without, which is another plus. GET IT! (maybe not from this seller, though. Disappointed with their shipping service.)
Great product... August 22, 2010

Fits perfectly, feels great and looks wonderful. I really like the fact that the apple glows through the cover. Looks very classy. Some of the other cases have a cut-out where the apple is. That looked kind of funky to me. Buy this one. Class act!
