Do you have your Macbook in a case??

I have a macbook pro and since day 1 I've had it in a case, I got one of the coloured plastic ones with the cutout for the apple logo. I've had the mac for 2 and half years now and I've replaced the case once because the bottom half was cracked. I think it's worth it, I dropped my mac once when it was on my bed and I leant down to get something, the mattress dipped and it slipped off, the corner of the plastic case cracked but my mac was fine. Obviously I don't know what damage would've been done but I feel happier knowing that I potentially avoided serious damage. Over 2 years later my mac is completely undamaged, no scratches, no dents, practically perfect.

The only downside I see to the case is that now I'm at uni I use my mac a lot more, it gets hot quite quickly, since I don't really take it out of my room so I took off the bottom half to help it keep cooler. I left the top part on because I like having my mac in my favourite colour.

Interesting, Thanks, Would you say it added much bulk/thickness to the Machine?

No.. I should though tbh

Mind me asking why? I'm assuming it's picked up some marks along the way...

No particular reason. I've been meaning to get one for ages
A few scratches. It has only gotten badly damaged once but that was a result of my stupid little sister

Yes. Given my habit of dropping it, buying a protective case seemed like a good idea. As was getting it insured against accidental damage.

No, but i've been meaning to get one for the past year. Mines got a couple nicks but nothing too noticeable. I would recommend getting one, I accidentally dropped some tweezers next to my track pad which has left a little tiny chip, but damn doesnt it piss me off.

Here we are, my MacBook with and without case.

No. I have a sleeve to stop it rubbing against other things in my bag but when I'm using the computer I don't want anything stuck on it, defeats the point of having a nice thin laptop.

That's the argument my OCD pain in the arse brain is putting up, if you don't Mind me asking, what's the condition like and how long have you had it?

Pristine and two years.

I'd recommend one of those LCD screen cleaning kits to keep it shiny (you can use the spray over the entire machine not just the display )

Already got it insured, Protect my bubble imagine they'd tell me to take a hike just for some scratches though lol
Which one do you have? Been looking at the Speck's but they have some pretty meh reviews...

It is some unbranded one I bought on eBay, but it seems robust enough.

As for insurance, did you not look into getting it bolted onto house insurance/parent's house insurance? Protect my bubble and other such companies are an absolute con. I think I pay a few quid a year.

Exactly my reasoning, I could probably live with a few scracthes but anything else would just iritate me, on the other hand, so would a case ruining my work of art.... Ahhhh first world problems





Wow thanks dude, can't see a major difference myself, see what you mean about the cracks and bits missing, imagine it's not as stable as it used to be... May have to get a clear case then (Couldn't deal with the colours)

Tell me about it. This little thing pisses me off so hard.
