Help me with the cover for my Macbook Aluminum

**bleh888** · 03-02-2009, 09:01 PM

Hey guys! I went to Powermac Center yesterday and saw that they have new cases for the Macbook Aluminum. Would you recommend that I get one?

If so, which one would be the best choice among these:

1:Macally Leather Protective Shell - for 13" Aluminum MacBook - Black/Redhttp://www.ciao.com/Macally_BookShell_MacBook_Leather_Protective_Cover __15161961

2. Speck See Thru Satin Hard Shell for macbook---it comes in black/red/purple
http://www.speckproducts.com/product...black-keys/164

And would anyone know if these are available in Digital Walker?

i thought something happened to your macbook outer case.

the speck products have notoriously bad reviews after a while. while i have no real experience with them, the reviews i've read are enough to sway me from getting them.

for the same price, look for the incase ones.

Why would you get something and cover the beautiful aluminum case of the new Macbook?? I guess if I were you, just buy the sleeve just incase you want to carry around your macbook without a bag.

Don't cover it. Show its beauty for everyone!

i agreed with you, let your mac bare and naked

i love it naked. It is sturdy enough. a protective sleeve will suffice.

I second that, plus the new mb is not that sensitive, it doesn't scratch easily. just try to get a sleeve for it, i got mine from powerpee

I also like mine bare.. I didn't even get a keyboard protector coz I like the feel of the keyboard as it is. I only bought a laptop padded sleeve and it is enough for me, Just be careful of dropping anything hard on your Macbook coz it can get dented like when I was unrolling the cable of my Magsafe, I accidentally dropped the Magsafe on my MB! It left a little dent near the apple logo that I didn't notice til the other day. Fortunately it was barely noticeable unless you look at it closely. Oh well, lesson learned.:slanted: It is also a good thing that the MB doesn't get scratched easily as ericdude said. And if you really want to buy a case, I would personally go with the speck see-thru (transparent) case.

i also keep my macbook bare... it's like getting skirts and spoilers for an Aston Martin. It looks good enough on its own, i don't think you'll need a case for it.

I just got a protective sleeve and a keyboard protector (noticed all the dust collecting on the keys eh - high dust environment haha). Just invest in a nice bag or a nice sleeve...
