Slim and does what I need. It provides protection while allowing me to grip my laptop easier (was slippery). Great price too.

I bought this because it seemed to offer more protection than some other over priced pieces of plastic. The film protection pieces could be of better quality and it makes a clicking noise when opening it. I was worried it scratched my computer when I installed it, but don't think it has.

Overall the protection is great. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the top and bottom clear inserts. They are hard to install due to their flimsy nature. I'm only using the top insert. That being said, the product snapped easily onto the computer and proved itself the first trip out of town when the computer bag slipped and fell about 4 feet to the sidewalk landing on the edge. No problem! The cover does add a bit of weight but is easier to grip. Fix the clear cover insert and it's 5 stars every time.

I purchased this protective case for my boyfriend's Mac Airbook, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. The Mac airbook is thoroughly protected from scratches, bumps, and dents. It is slightly bulky, but lightweight. Does not make the Mac heavy to carry. I would recommend this product.

So far, so good. It looks good, it fit well, and it looks like it would protect my computer if it fell. Thankfully, I haven't dropped it, so I am not sure how well it would do during a fall, but that is a good thing.

Bought this case to protect my new Mac Book Air. In the past, I've used a case similar to Speck in design and materials but when a backpack with Macbook fell on the floor, that case was busted along with the computer.
So I decided to try Thule this time, even though it's a bit overpriced. According to Thule, their case suppose to withstand a 3' fall.
Pros: good quality materials, fits Macbook Air really good, fall protection up to 3 feet. Cons: the lid piece makes clicking sound during lid opening, blocks mic openings on the side .

Bought this at the same time we bought our MacBook. So far it’s been excellent. I feel better knowing our MacBook has a hard case on it and is protected.

I ordered this case for a new laptop I bought for school. After doing extensive research, this seemed to be the only one that actually served as a bumper, potentially saving my computer if I were to accidentally drop it. It took a little bit of effort to make sure all of the plastic parts snapped into place correctly, but it seems secure. I don't feel like I have to hold my breath when carrying my laptop anymore, though I thankfully haven't had to put drop protection to the test. The only complaint I have is with the scratch protection, or lack thereof. The case comes with scratch shields that can be inserted when assembling the bumper, but they definitely seem like they could cause overheating. Also, I'm a little concerned that the bumper itself will cause scratches when I eventually remove it... it fits very snugly over the computer. All in all, it serves its purpose.

This bumper case is well made. It provides good protection for my daughter's MacBook. I purchased a cheaper one earlier and the corner cracked after she dropped it. The corner of the MacBook was also slightly damaged. Now I switched to this one and so far it works perfect.

I like this case a lot- it's nice protection in case you drop it accidentally or it falls off your desk/bed. However, it does add some noticeable weight to the Macbook Air, which is the only drawback I noticed with it. However, the laptop with the case is still lighter than a previous laptop I owned.

We bought this case along with a MacBook Air for our daughter. She doesn't have much luck with electronic devices so we wanted to protect the $1200 laptop the best we could. The Thule case looked durable and Thule products have a good reputation. (We also use their bike racks.) It only took me a few minutes to install the laptop case. The only thing I did while installing the case was to use scotch tape on the clear plastic cover that protects the top of the computer. I read another reviewer who said it slipped around after the install. I taped the corners and middle. If you place the tape carefully, it's not even seen. Hey, it's a laptop case, not a case for a Stradivarius. Anyway, the case is working great and doing what it's supposed to do. I'll buy one when I get a MacBook.

Good fit and appears it will protect from bumps and minimal jarring. The scratch shield is held in place by a slot in each corner that fits over a tab on the main piece. Not sure how they will stay in place in the long run but after assembly they seem to be held OK. I don't imagine this would take much abuse but may save some scratches on the occasional bump. With the choices available I think this is the best one.

I like this product because it keeps my MacBook off the table. It prevents him from scratching the bottom of the MacBook with setting it on flat surfaces it protects it from hitting it on corners Great grip on iT not afraid it will slide off my hands

I bought this not only to protect my little brother laptop but also to give it another look. Who says style and an extra cushion of protection don't go together?
