Like most people I bought the Speck cover to protect my Mac when I travel. And like most people I would like to keep my computer in pristine condition, but in the real world I know that's pretty much impossible. In short everything is a trade-off. If you want your Mac to stay looking like the day you brought it home, you're going to spend more time fussing over it than working on it. But if you bought it to use for its intended purpose, eventually it will show some wear and tear.
If you carry your Mac from home to work or school where it goes from one safe, clean place to another you probably won't need the Speck case. But if you really take your Mac on the road the Speck case is worth a look. I fly over 100,000 miles each year which means that the computer is constantly exposed to TSA security checks, airline tray tables, and numerous lobbies and hotel rooms. I saw the Speck as good protection for when the computer is not snuggled in neoprene or tucked away in my briefcase. And so far it has done its job very well.
I haven't seen the small scratches that some of the folks who posted here refer to, but I don't doubt that they may very well exist. For me however, if I remove the cover and see them on my Mac it will still be worth it to protect it from the big scratches (or chips, or gouges). And speaking of removing the case, I haven't had any problems there either.
The manufacturer's instructions recommend that you slide a thin piece of plastic between the edge of the computer and the cover to "pop" the clips holding the cover on. I used one of those small "frequent purchaser" keychain barcode tags (most grocery and retail stores issues them to customers) to remove the cover with no effort at all. No wrestling, no mangling, and no damage.
Someone also noted that the plastic in the case is too soft, allowing it to flex and cause the small scratches. I'm sure that Speck could change the chemical compound to make the case more rigid, but that would also make it a little less comfortable in your hand, and a little more prone to cracking or even shattering. So we're back to that trade-off thing again. To me they got the right combination.
At the end of the day all computer cases do a good job of protecting your computer when it's safely inside, but the Speck case protects it when it's out and running, which is exactly what I was looking for. Very few cases can make that claim.
It's just too cool!! May 16, 2007

I've got a nice Solodex backpack for my 13" white MacBook, but I usually leave the Mac out on a table so it's easy to access. Anyone who's ever owned a Mac or iPod knows how easily they can become scratched. I saw an article in Macworld about the red speck case and I was fascinated by it having never seen a hard clip on case for a lap top before, not to mention one that was asthetically pleasing. So I shopped around and bought a red case from Amazon. I noticed in the customer reviews that some folks complained that the Speck case scratched their MacBook. However, since I own 2 iPods and a 20" iMac I've learned the importance of making sure that both the device and the inside of the case are completely clean and dust free before installation. I'm extremely happy with my Speck case and the lighted apple logo on the MacBook lid looks gorgeous in red. I'd recommend this case to anyone who wants to protect their investment with a minimum of fuss. An added bonus is that the case insulates your lap from some of the heat that the battery builds up, so now I've got a real laptop.
Excellent... fits and works perfectly. January 20, 2007

The case is very easy to install, fits perfectly, barely adds any thickness to the MacBook, and the clear finish still showcases the MacBook itself. it stays snugly in place and perfectly aligned.
I plug/unplug my MacBook frequently and all the cables (mini-DVI, ethernet, USB, Power) fit just fine through the case.
I have not noticed any marked increase in heat; there are venting slots built in the case.
This should allow me to keep my MacBook in prime condition for resale when the time comes. I highly recommend getting this along with your MacBook purchase so you can keep it squeaky clean and scratch free from day one.
It seems just a bit pricey, as I would have preferred it to be in the $20-$25 range (at the time of my purchase), but it certainly will protect your MacBook investment.
Peace of mind for the MacBook owners/lovers !!! April 17, 2007

Hi there,
I am writing this review after having used the product for almost 2 months now. From the moment I bought my MacBook, I was looking for a case that would protect my macbook without sacrificing it's look. The very reason many people buy a mac is for it's beautiful design and who in the world would want to spoil that look and how would you actually do that without hurting it due to day to day use? Voila! I came across this product. The case is pretty hard plastic and has some nice cuts that gives good grip while holding/carrying the macbook. It covers the macbook completely at the top and at the bottom with openings on the sides for the different ports. There are fin like openings on the bottom case for heat to dissipate. That way you wouldn't have to worry about the macbook overheating.
The only thing bothers me with this product is that once you put it in on your mac, it is difficult to remove it. I sometimes feel that I might damage the egdes when trying to open. This may also be because I am not doing it the right way ;-)
But anyways, I would recommend this product for any macbook lover that wants to protect it from being scratched or damaged.
Loks

This item fits my MacBook perfectly. The red color makes it look great, and the polycarbonate material is very durable. The cover is so thin that you don't even notice the slight extra thickness.
Everyone that sees my computer really likes it!
