Just what I needed!

After reading many reviews, I was concerned with the hardshell limiting the angle to which the screen could be opened. However, I have found that as long as the bottom portion is installed correctly (there is a small lip in the back that MUST be seated properly), I can open it almost as far as without the case. Aside from the screen angle issue, this case is perfect. The texture resists fingerprints and feels cool. I like that the Apple icon still shows through when illuminated. The vents on the bottom really help to dispel heat, keeping my Macbook from overheating as well as keeping the surface it rests on cooler. Removing the case was a bit trickier - not impossible - but as long as you don\'t need to remove it on a regular basis, this doesn\'t really pose a problem. All in all, this case is just what this busy college student needed to reduce stress about carrying an expensive laptop to school!
One complaint.

I am rather satisfied with this product. I purchased this case for my white macbook to protect it from scratches. I enjoy the transparency and grip the case provides. I am dissatisfied with the minimal tolerances to access ports on the left side of the machine. The power doesn't find the magnet as easy (causing a little more concentration). However this is not a big deal. The biggest concern is the inability to use a computer lock with the case on. I have two separate locks that I had used previously that I can no longer use because the lock cannot engage. Security is of concern because I work in an open studio in college.... laptops can walk off. I don't want to have to go out and buy, yet another computer lock.
One more note, this case stays on. I noticed a friend that purchased an off-brand case and it was falling off. I will also applaud incase's design, especially the level of detail on the back side. I just remember one more thing that this case affects: the tilt of the screen. I can't tilt the screen back as far as I used to. Again, I will say that there is give and take with adding an accessory and I'd rather have my machine protected.
Like it, but don't like the only colour available

This look like a great product but red is just not my thing. Bring on the same colour choice as the pro range and you've got my money.
100% satisfied

I got this case when I first bought my blackbook, and the protection has saved it from a 5 foot fall. My Macbook is as good as when I first bought it, and it doesn't overheat. The case also gives you more grip because of its texture, and is very resistant to scratches. It is perfect for anyone who wants good protection without sacrificing accessibility or style. I can access even my battery power meter on the bottom. This case is much better than my girlfriends Speck clear case, which is much more prone to scratches and fingerprints, and gives less accessibility. Great.
