    I purchased my first MacBook from Best Buy and I love it!! I have an iPhone and an iPad, so I decided to upgrade my laptop as well to Apple. I caught a terrific President's Day sale and never looked back to my old laptop.

    The Speck SmartShell Upper Shield Case for my 13/3" Apple MacBook Air fits perfectly. While protecting the laptop it gives is just enough pizzazz with the purple Wildberry color. Lots of compliments!

    I have used a Speck case on my previous mac for almost 7 years, and really loved it. So sturdy! i really wanted another for my new macbook air. However, this color is more of a raspberry and I just cannot like it. And there was not a blue one that fit.

    I bought my first Mac and I needed a hard case. This one is just what I was looking for. It fits perfectly and it looks great! Love the color and the material is resistant and of good quality.

    This product is good for temporary use. I will definitely be buying something more sturdy. The corners pop off occasionally which makes me wonder how protected they woild be if I dropped my Mac.

    It fits well and looks very nice. If you are looking for something other than scratch and minor dent protection, look elsewhere. This has minimal drop protection.

    Loved the case. Only problem is that it didn’t last too long. It cracked on the sections that allows the cover to hold on to the laptop so it eventually started falling off

    I ordered this case in rose pink and received the wrong color so I had to send it back. I then received the correct color but the case I received was scratched. I don't have time to take it back to UPS and then get a defective one or the wrong color again, but I will not be purchasing any more accessories from Best Buy. I am very disappointed but the case itself is made of good material so that is the only reason I give it 2 stars.

    We had a Lenovo laptop and it was very sluggish. The mouse never worked right. I know the MacBook Air works. It works well with our iPhone.

    The color was quite what I expected, a little more fuschia than purple. It took a little bit for me to get it on, but it appears to be durable and protect the laptop fine.

    This case is not what I wanted so I returned it. I was worried the hard plastic would scratch the outside of my laptop. This is my personal preference. Product was fine
