I was hoping for a slim case for my MacBook Pro and this seemed to be the best option available based on prior reviews. The case does fit great, no doubt about that. Simple clicks around the edges and you're good to go. However, the case is heavy, it adds significant weight to the Mac Book. Also, it's a bland case, it completely takes away the beauty of the Mac. It makes it look like one big piece of black plastic from the outside. All the reviewers raving about how the Apple logo is visible from the back, well, it's barely visible, you can see it only if you are sitting really close to the Mac, and that too it's very faint.

Fit and functionality - 5 for sure. Aesthetics and design - 0.5. I am still looking for a better designed case, but this will do for now.

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.

This is a very nice product, fits well. I am giving it 3 stars mainly because:
1.It's EXTREMELY hard to take off, almost broke a nail trying to do so, and you have to be very careful when 'attempting' this because you might break one of the tabs if you pull hard, or even break the case itself.
2.The color was not was I was expecting, it was BRIGHT pink, although once I put it on it did not look as bad as it looked when i first took it out of the box.
3.No cleaning cloth included!!!
Overall I guess it's a good product, just wish it was easier to take off..
