So I've had my macbook pro for a year and half, maybe more and its with me 24/7. It gets a real beating with me being a clumsy idiot! Its even fallen off a table! I nearly cried! Solution for a vulnerable little macbook; a hardcase! I looked on E-bay (because I'm a cheapskate!) and had bought one of the ones that come from China for my brothers macbook and it was really tacky and broke easily. I saw a case made by Speck (not a brand I had heard of) that someone was selling because they got the wrong size. I won the bid, buying the case for £14 which is a bargain when speck cases can be in the region of £30.

When I received it, it was great, the case has a nice texture to it and it is a really nice shade of purple. I like the way the apple logo glows through the case making it purple. I would have liked a case with the apple logo cut out but thats one of the prices you pay for quality! It fits onto my macbook perfectly and the bottom piece comes away really easily if your laptop gets too hot and you're worried about the plastic melting (its never melted on mine). The top piece is very hard to get off. Its been in place since I first put it on.

The instructions say that you should take them off to clean any dust from your laptop which I would do more often if I didn't have to get my mum to take the case off. I've had it for around 9 months and it is only just showing signs of wear and tear which is a credit to speck for the quality.

I highly recommend this case for macbook users everywhere to protect your machine and make it look funky at the same time. Its great and it does the job so well. I think that its well worth the money I paid for it and possibly worth the investment of paying full price for it.
