I bought my MBP 13 in June 2009. I don’t know how, but two weeks later – the laptop had a deep scratch, making the laptop look like it had a crack. After going to two Apple stores for a Genius check….they used a tool to confirm it was just a very deep scratch. I’ve looked at several shells and cases since, and the cases were either over priced or blocked/obstructed certain ports (including the sleep indicator). I waited for the Amazon reviews to be posted on this case, because I wanted to make sure all ports were available and not being blocked by the case….especially since there were other Speck models available online for the older MBs. The other cases I looked at were the InvisibleShield and the BookShell.
* All ports accessible and not obstructed.
* From the edge of the security lock hole (towards the mouse pad) to the nearest edge of the case is about 0.5 inch.
* From the edge of the headset jack to the nearest edge of the case is about 5/8 of an inch.
* There is a battery indicator “indentation button” molded into the case…so you can press it to check your battery level.
* There is a hole cut out for the infrared.
* The case comes in two pieces, and were simple to snap on.
* The case fits very well and snug to my MBP 13. I even place a decal sticker on the inside of the screen piece, and the case fits fine.
* A microfiber cloth comes with the case.
* There are vents on the bottom case, but as mentioned on an older review – not all vents are cut out. I’m not concerned with this since I’m not a gamer, and the MBP unibody case sorta acts like a heat sink to help dissipate the heat.
* With the laptop screen fully extended with the case on, the angle was around 137 degrees.
* There are “foot pads” where the MBP’s “foot pads” are…elevating the case from the flat surface and adding some grip.
* The case does add a small extra weight, but not a ton.
Because the case is “see through” I can see the sleep indicator – which I refer to a lot. I chose the clear color, so I don’t attract attention/distraction during meetings.
I finally bought the case on Amazon due to fantastic price ($50 at Apple), waiting patiently for Free Shipping, and knowing this case was made specifically for the MBP 13.
I’ve read older model reviews of dirt getting between the case and laptop – causing scratches. The environments I work in don’t promote flying dust or dirt, so I’m not worried about that…but if you do, maybe one of the leather like or plastic stretch type cases might do better to seal/block entry of dirt/dust.

I just recently bought a 13″ Macbook Pro and have been looking for a case to protect it. I looked around and finally settled on the Speck See Thru Case in green. This is an awesome case!!! First of all the green color looks really fantastic and the see thru case allows you to see the glowing apple which looks cool. It also fits perfectly and it basically seems like you don’t have a protective cover on the computer at all. It adds very small if any extra bulk on the computer and so if you use an additional case or sleeve to carry around your mac, it will fit without any problem. Also, all the plugs and buttons are all accessible. This is a fantastic product and I highly recommend it to protect your investment. It also comes with a nice dust rag to dust off your computer before you place the case on.

I like the Speck See-Thru Macbook case. It looks excellent on my Mac, and protects the Aluminum, without causing any scratches.
But it doesn’t keep the computer from not getting dirty. I found that around the sides of the computer, dirt and dust would get in between the case and the computer. I’ve had to take off the case and clean it, several times.
In terms of durability, the satin Speck case was better, but I like the fact the See-Thru doesn’t show all the fingerprints the way the satin does.
I’m still using the product because I want my Mac protected at all times. If the case breaks, I’ll buy another one. But all in all, it’s a nice accessory.

I recently got a macbook pro 13 that I wanted to take to plane trips to clients. It took the first trip to realize that placing the laptop on the airport tray and having it bounce on the belt as it goes through the machine was going to scratch it sooner than later. I embarked to get a shell case and of several offerings chose to get this Speck MB13AU-SEE-CLR-01 clear shell case.
Pros
see-through material shows laptop end
leaves all ports exposed including security-lock
protects laptop from scratches
Cons
lid edge pops off a bit when opening laptop
smooth gloss end shows fingerprints
laptop feels a bit chunky
All considered the cons are minor and I would certainly buy again.

The seller got the item to me super quick so shipping was excellent, arrived in brilliant condition. It’s simple to install so simple a cave man can do it! lol… all you have to do is snap it on and it’s ready for use that is after you wipe it down with the microfiber cloth provided. It does not cover any ports not even the sleep light and battery check button on the left side of the new macbook pro. It’s also simple to remove also just unclip. My only problem it’s not as snug as i would like it to be as far as the back cover but the bottom one works fine. The bottom part has vent hole cut out on the bottom that helps cool down the battery from heating up in the cover which i thought was a plus. It was for a excellent price compared to the one they sell at the apple store for $50 so if ya like to save but want to protect your investment from scratches then i suggest you buy one of these cases just like me!! -:) lol… Too terrible they were out of black i finished up getting clear cover that was the only bummer i couldn’t wait for it to become available!! I had to protect my babe!! lol….
