    If I could give zero stars I would! I have only had this since June and its broken in 2 places and cracked in a third. This laptop does not leave the house and basically sits on a desk. It is way to thin to be of any protection. I had an older version on my first Mac for 5 years and it was in perfect condition when I upgrade my laptop. Do not recommend this cover!

    Terrible case.Corner had a defect that caused a crack to spread 2nd day after purchase.Returned and replaced with an "InCase" cover which seems fine.I will add that the computer was not bumped or dropped and never left the kitchen table.

    Didn’t really like this product. Don’t feel as it provides adequate protection. Definitely would work to keep your laptop looking new but I have kids that like to drop things and pretty rough on electronics so I wouldn’t recommend this case if you are trying to achieve drop protection.

    It is not to protect your laptop from damage rather minor scratches... I dropped it in my backpack which was on the ground, it cracked

    I suppose that this is an okay product. I just don't like the feel of it. And there were already some "bruises" in the plastic when I unboxed it. Returned.

    I ordered this prior to Christmas and just received a couple of days ago. Today is 1/19/25. The top protective cover arrived with a crack. I have had one of these on an older Laptop and was great.
