It didn't specify what version of MacBook Air it fits. I have the latest one but this cover doesn't fit my computer. I didn't want the hassle of returning it, so I reluctantly kept it. If you have the latest macbook air, don't buy this one. The product description does not specify it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful but scary, March 28, 2010

First, this case fits on the MacBook Air very well. It is snug all around and I am not the slightest bit concerned that it will ever come off accidentally. I'd say the fit and finish was closer to BMW quality than Chrysler.

As far as protection, this case is designed to keep the exterior of the Air from getting scratched. That's all the protection it is going to provide, but it does that very well. It's not going to protect the Air from a fall or a coffee/keyboard mishap, but it isn't designed to.

The case makes "the world's thinnest notebook" not so thin any more. It also adds some weight. But it is how the weight is added that scares me. There is a known problem with the hinge assembly on the Air. I've already had to have the lid replaced once by Apple because of the hinges. And the added weight of the Speck Case on the lid just feels like too much stress on those hinges. When the lid is open just a couple of inches, the added weight of the case makes it fall closed. So it scares me that I might protecting the Air from cosmetic damage while doing real damage to the hardware.

Not sure I am ready to take that chance.

This case does not fit Macbook air 13" released Nov. 2010! It may fit the 2009 model, but the bottom does not fit onto the latest model. I have this case for a Macbook Pro 13" and it is a great product. Anxiously awaiting a Speck Hard Case to fit my macbook air!!!!
