I purchase mine for a 13 inch MacBook Pro. I admit I am rough on my laptop and that’s why I bought it. It has been a lifesaver. The Thule takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I’m impressed and you will be too. If there is a minor drawback, it’s tough to get on and I took it back to Best Buy where I bought it and they installed it for free. The first pic is the front and the second is the back. I also like the levelers on the back, especially for air travel.

Doesn't meet Thule standards

You'd think that a product by Thule would be as durable as the roof racks but it's not. The frame cracked within the first two weeks I put it on my MacBook.. The clear plastic film cover always pops up so I'm constantly pushing in back down and it snaps back in and lays flat. And when opening MacBook by the front clasp, the bumper case pops off and I have to snap it back on. Very disappointed.

I wish they had these when I originally bought my computer so my Macbook screen was still fully functional. The case is very protective with the rubber covering the inside and the protective hard shell on the outside. It also comes with scratch protectors that are suppose to align and fit within the case, but only one of mine fit correctly so hopefully that isn't the case for anyone else. It is a great case, but the only complaint I have about it is its somewhat bulky on the bottom half and gets in the way of the plugging into the ports. I have to remove the bottom portion for my HDMI cable to actually fit the port and stay connected. I personally recommend it for anyone getting a new Macbook Pro.

Snap on and GO! That's what I did with my Thule Laptop protector. I am now confident that any accidental bumps or bangs are covered. This cover was quick to snap on and is not heavy or clunky. I also have access to all ports on my Mac. A great investment.

Bought this item mainly for protection for my MacBook Pro. Don't plan to drop it but just in case and since I have not I really can not rate it as far as it protection. Easy to install, covers all corners and sides well. Seems to have made the laptop a bit heavier but I'm fine with that. All ports are easily accessed and price was right, plus I had some reward money I needed to use.

Thule - Vectros case review
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I looked around for many different cases for the MacBook and this was the only one that provided a protective cover as well as a bump case in case it was dropped. It fits very snug and even has a latch to keep the MacBook from opening by itself. The case also comes with a protective see through film for the top and bottom of the case. The bump case provides a better grip on the MacBook as it gives a slight ledge, with the smooth surface of the MacBook i was always afraid I might drop it but the Vectros case has remedied that.

I bought this case to protect my Macbook. This was the most protective case that's available to date and it does the job. The Macbook has been knocked over many times and was saved by this case without any damages. For a rugged case, I was surprise at how slim it was.
I gave this 4 star due to the difficulty of installing it (took several trys to match up all the pieces) and the cost.

The fit and finish is perfect. I didn't have problem with the clear covers, once placed centered and black covers attached to the Macbook you can still move the clear plastic to get it to lock in. The rubber feet is awesome sticks like glue on any surface. I feel some much better carrying this around now, it is a pricy piece of machinery.

Looked at several cases for my new Macbook Pro. Chose this one because it seemed to cover every aspect of protection. As a frequent business traveler, it has not only protected, but did not add a large amount of weight to carry thru countless airports.

This case is BULKY and HEAVY! This case also PROTECTS your macbook pro!! When you are talking about a $1500+ laptop I would rather have it protected and a little more bulky than worry about taking it out of my home and having something happen to it. A major selling point of a macbook is portability, and with macbooks being very prone to scratching. I believe this case is a great investment.

I have read many reviews, brought and used multiple cases for my Apple computer and this one hands down is the best thus far. The only one that I would say that might be better is if otter box made one. With this Thule case on has already save me from having something happen that could have been something broken on/in the computer that could have been either costly to fix or something worse. It is nice also because there are many areas that are opened that slows it to breath so it doesn't over heat. I would recommend anyone that has an Apple computer to invest in this case to protect it.

The only reason I didn't give this product 5 stars is because it was purchased for my daughter who would have preferred something prettier. It is just basic and functional and does what we needed. Protects.

The Thule bumper case was easy to set up, fits well and I feel confident that it will offer good protection for my MacBook in the event of a short drop or hard bump. It is not bulky for the amount of protection and doesn't add much weight, which I appreciate as well.

This is an attractive bumper for my Macbook Pro that feels sturdy on my laptop. The transparent front and back covers, are a nice touch but are clumsy to install, a larger tab in the corners to clip them in place until the bumper is on the laptop would help. The front opening tab would be better if you could open the laptop with one hand. It requires my other hand slipping my fingernail between top and bottom to hold it while I lift the lid. Awkward. Because of those two things, I believe this is overpriced. Other than that, it appears to be sturdy and will protect my laptop.

Was looking for something to protect my macbook as I was buying it and originally was going to get a thule attaché case and a speck hard cover to protect from scratches. Well I found this as I was looking around and have had good luck with the thule cases on my iPhone but i was worried that it would make it much thicker however it doesn't make it much thicker at all. Also this does an excellent job of protecting and offers scratch protection on the exterior top and bottom from an optional insertable piece which is actually easy to install and very effective. On top of the protection it offers this case looks awesome I purchased the black one and the black case and silver macbook looks awesome. I recommend this case to anyone looking to keep their mac safe and scratch free.
