Good protection, but does tend to crack after use. Fits perfectly and has a nice matte finish.

This was a surprise purchase for my daughter with her MacBook, but she loves it! Not only is it attractive, but it truly provides good protection.

Just worth getting like when you get a protector for your phone. I can’t stand for any scratches to be on my equipment when you pay a price for it just take care of it.

Rugged and durable, easy to install, quality product, those are the pros. There's one thing I don't like, the case is "frosted" and not clear. When the descriptor said clear, I thought it would be clear, that I would be able to see the computer's color through it, but I can't.

Best laptop I have owned to date. I’m still getting used to a Mac. I have been a PC gal for many years. Everything is running smoothly. Picture quality is great. Videos are great. I gave it 4 stars for ease of use only because I’m new to a Mac.

This is a very nice-looking case once applied and fits very well. It keeps the overall sleek profile of the MacBook Air and I love that the color adds to a stealth effect. This is easy to put on and take off and feels great. Areas where this could improve, however, would be how easily scratched it is and improvement of the feet.
We have bought two of these cases. Both of these came with very light marks (like scratches, but you can't feel them...very superficial). I don't like that this is how they seem to tend to arrive, even though they come well-packaged. The other issue is that they do scratch quite easily. The grey color shows scratches quite noticeably as they show up white-ish in color. At the price, I would hope for some better scratch resistance, especially since that's a reason for having a case - prevent scratching to the main device while also looking neat and clean.
The feet on this are quite slick, so at the 15" size, I find it difficult to open the MacBook Air in its much advertised way, with one finger. Instead, the MacBook is pushed back when I try this. The feet just need a little more grip.
Overall, I do really enjoy the fit of this, how well-covered the MacBook is while in this case, and how slim the MacBook remains even while encased. I do wish for better scratch resistance and a gripper set of feet at the bottom to make this case absolutely worth the price.

Im an extremely clumsy person so I bought this in store when I got my Mac . It’s not the prettiest case but it has saved my computer from bad falls / breaking .
