    The case cracked after the first uses. The corner broke off and now the case does not stay in place.

    I had no trouble putting the case on my computer. It fit perfect. I got this protection case to protect my computer. I think everybody should have one, even if you think you’re not clumsy. I recommend everybody to get one if they have a computer that they pay a lot of money on.

    Case is lightweight and protects the MacBook Pro 16 perfectly. I feel the laptop is much safer traveling and sitting on the dining table.

    It’s a nice way to protect your macbook but it isn’t as sturdy as I would have liked. Be careful putting it on your computer as the ends tend to crack.

    It's not awful, but I probably wouldn't purchase another one. It cracked on the corner within the first two weeks.

    I have never written a review for any product before in my life. This product was so disappointing that I decided to take time out of my day to do so. This case started cracking pretty much immediately right after I purchased it. All four corners have chips and/or cracks in them. I also have a protective soft sleeve that I travel with. With both layers, this should not be happening. I wish I would have read the other reviews and listened before purchasing. With the reputation and price of Speck, I expected a much better product. This was extremely disappointing and I do not plan to purchase a product from them again.

    Im very easy on my devices. The case cracked within a week of purchase. Ok for a temporary case for your MBP while you order something a little more long term.

    Way too bulky for the laptop. The top half of the case was bulging outwards and the material felt cheap. was not a fan of it and was surprised a Brand like Speck capped out on the quality of the cases for the MB.

    The product isn't clear on what generation of Macbook Pro it fit, so it actually didn't fit my computer. Unfortunately, I'm passed my return period and can't take it back. Still, if it had fit, the case only really seems to do a good job of protecting against slipping and scratches. It's not the most rugged of cases.

    The shell snaps on super easy, plus it has vents so you don’t have to worry about your Mac overheating and it protects it from getting all scratched up.
