The case isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's done everything I expected it to do. It fits well, it protects my macbook from my abuse and I haven't noticed any scratches from the case. The color is bright and matches my hair, and the case doesn't bulk up my macbook very much. All in all, pretty good, although I think it is a tad too expensive for just a computer case.

As I am a graduating high school senior and incoming college freshman, many of my friends (including myself) have hit the laptop market with the quicks. Those of us who have opted to enter the Macworld have pretty much been relegated to purchasing the 13' Macbook, for the Macbook Pro is ridiculously expensive and an almost impractical purchase for college students. To this regard, one has two choices- the white Macbook or black one. Other than that, there is absolutely no distinction between one person's white Macbook and another's. The Speck Case has allowed me to implement my own 'flayvuh' onto my laptop. The Case looks surprisingly better than I thought it would but it still does not look quite as chic as a naked Macbook does (it would be nice if it came in blue instead of just white and black). In regards to protection-- The Case probably isn't the best item for that. It does prevent otherwise inevitable scratches (I haven't taken my Case off yet, so I don't know whether it "is hard to take off" or "scratches the laptop"...why take it off?) on the laptop itself. However, if you drop the Macbook, guess what...the case is going down with it and it's not gonna do much good on a hard surface.
Also, I was a little disappointed at the price. But that's the life of a Mac user. Most Mac items are overpriced since they are in a monopolized market for the most part and this Case is customized for the Macbook. Verdict-- tough it out, pay the 50 dollars, add your own flayvuuuh to the Mac. Might wanna supplement your 1500 dollar investment with a cheap cushioned case but it's not necessary.

Four stars only because I just received it today and just put it on my new 13" MacBook. It's candy-apple red! It snapped on easily; all the holes line up, and it doesn't interfere with operation or closing. Just wish it had arrived when my MacBook did a couple weeks ago so I would have a pristine, finger-print-free to put it on.

The cover snapped easily into place. It fits perfectly, and is providing protection to the MacBook.

ORDERED THE RED SPECK COVER FOR MY MACBOOK WHICH GIVES A NICE FLAVOR AND HELPS PROTECT MY MACBOOK FROM SCRATCHES. JUST SNAP ON OR OFF.

SPECK PRODUCT MAKES GREAT ACCESSORIES. I HAVE THE SPECK RUBBERIZED CASE FOR THE TREO
