I have the red Speck and love it. It fits like a second skin to my macbook. All of the ports line up perfectly and it is really thin and doesn't add enough size to the macbook to even matter. It still fits in the sleeve cases made for the macbook. If you are going to carry your macbook around much, I would definitely get one. I haven't had any problems taking off the speck and cleaning the macbook. The Red glowing apple looks pretty cool too, and you just don't see anybody else with a red laptop. Hope this helps.

hmm... I'm starting to think the spec would be perfect for me.
one question, will it damage the macbook if I were to take it off regularly for cleaning? just to wipe off any dust particle that might have gotten in there. I mean will it wear out the macbook in areas where it has contact with the spec (ie. right were the clips are) ? yes, I am bit of an OC =P I'm used to cleaning all my gadgets regularly...umm I usually disinfect them with a bit of rubbing alcohol too (^___^)
I don't ever clean mine, one of the thing the spec does it protect it from getting messed up.
However, I wouldn't expect you could harm the MB. You might eventually wear out the speck case, however, as it will be getting bent back and forth every time you install and remove it.

We here at YourMacStore are big fans of the Speck SeeThru cases...we sell a LOT of them to our japanese customers, as they're extremely popular there.
There's a full review on them in my blog...see this
I'll also add that Speck is really good about replacing ones that weren't cut properly or are warped. :batman:
Heh, when I get my new macbook pro, I'm planning on getting the clear one, and having the artsy girlfriend paint it for me.

Aww man.. I wish they made these for the 14" iBook.. I have a clear hard-shell "armor" for my RAZR and it has saved my phone from so much. This would be perfect.. The green one is my fave. Either that, or red.

Seems silly to get one in hot pink...if you had a white MBP, you could just order the red one...and whammo, it's pink.
But then what do I know, Pink isn't my color... :batman:

It's just SO UNFAIR that there's no hot pink hard shell case for the MacBook. I so like pink. :girl:
I'll just wait for a pink one for the MacBook to come out, then I'll get one. If not then I'll just have to stick to red. Aww. And stocks of the Speck SeeThru case in the Apple Store aren't usually complete here in the Philippines. I'm always waiting for a call just in case there's a red one.
And MikeYMS, I don't think a red case on a white MacBook would become pink. I have a friend who has a red one and it's just plain red. If it was pink then my problem is SOLVED! :flower:

Looks like they have pink and green for both - Click
It seems the only difference is that the MBP's have got black and the MB's have blue.
Also, I found it extreemely difficult to remove and definitely was afraid I was going to break my screen at one point. There's no way I could recommend regularly removing it.

The screen case is certainly harder to remove, but I find less dust gets under it then the lower one. I haven't had to remove the screen cover to clean it at all yet.

True, it's more of a lighter red. What about getting a clear case and having it painted pink?
