I’ll give my opinions without going into much detail on the product’s features, since you can find dozens of reviews for nearly identical products from Speck elsewhere on this site.
First, since this is the first review of this particular model… From what I can tell, what differentiates this product from previous models is that this one has a very subtle notch near the power port that allows the redesigned 2010 MagSafe connector to be connected in such a way that the cord runs away from the user. This is almost unnoticeable, but helps the MagSafe get a good, secure connection. This may have been existent on previous models, but I can’t say for sure.
My general impression is that, while functional, this case will make your notebook seem less premium in a couple of ways:
1) The added bulk obviously alters the form factor of the notebook. To me, It’s a worthwhile trade-off, since I can always pull the notebook out of the case when I want to return it to its sleek roots.
2) In my experience, the added weight that comes along with any case is particularly noticeable with the lid, and this one is no exception. While the Macbook Pro’s hinge has plenty of strength to tolerate the added weight, adding the case makes it much easier to open/adjust/close the lid anytime it is working with gravity. I personally HATE a loose screen hinge, so while this case doesn’t actually make the hinge any looser, it still bothers me that it FEELS looser.
Despite what may have seemed like a negative experience, I have found this to be a very good product, but not one without some drawbacks.
Other thoughts: As strange as it might look, I may end up using this case without the lid portion while I’m just at home, since most scratching opportunities will arise when setting the notebook down.
This product is great! I’m glad I was able to find it on Amazon for about $20 cheaper than the retail price. When I purchased it, there was no cloth included (I’m not sure if that has something to do with the seller).
The case is very durable and I have zero scratches on my Macbook Pro 13″ Unibody (Mid 2010). I’m glad to have gotten this case and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to prevent any scratches on their macbook.
I can’t really tell the difference between the weight with the case on or off. The apple logo still shines through with the case on and the case has a GREAT feel. You must get this product!!
Even though the price could be lower, the Speck Satin Black looks great on my 2010 MBP 13. It’s a simple snap on and snap off design and it fits my MBP like a glove. The satin coating is smooth but durable and it does not attract fingerprints. All the ports are unobstructed and the glowing purple apple is quite nice. Weight and bulk are added though but that is simply reasonable for 24/7 protection.
Just got it. Snapped right into place. Fits like a glove and leaves the outlet areas uncovered. Excellent fit and finish. My brand new macbook pro won’t get scratched and looks cool too. The apple shines through on top… Elegant cover for a beautiful machine!
