[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1546210, member: 56379"] Maybe I'm misunderstanding things...but I used to have a 2007 17" MacBook Pro (before the Unibody MacBook Pro's) that I also had a Speck hardshell case for. And now I have an "Early 2011" 17" MacBook Pro also with a Speck hardshell case. Speck has been in business since 2001...and Speck has been making hardshell cases for Macintosh laptops for a long time. Like I mentioned...Speck made hard shell cases for the pre-Unibody 17" MacBook Pros (I had a 2007 17" MBP with a Speck hard case)...and Speck made hard cases for Unibody 17" MBP's (I have one). Believe me...Speck made a case for your 17" MBP. They're just hard to find...since they are no longer made. I did a quick e-Bay search...why wouldn't these work?: [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/Speck-SPK-A1183-See-Thru-Hard-Shell-Clear-Case-For-MacBook-Pro-17-NIB-/310780104268?pt=US_Laptop_Cases_Bags&hash=item485bf00e4c]Speck SPK A1183 See thru Hard Shell Clear Case for MacBook Pro 17" | eBay[/url] [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/Speck-SPK-A1183-See-Thru-Hard-Shell-Clear-Case-For-MacBook-Pro-17-NIB-/181247552449?pt=US_Laptop_Cases_Bags&hash=item2a33322bc1]Speck SPK A1183 See thru Hard Shell Clear Case for MacBook Pro 17" | eBay[/url] [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/Speck-SPK-A1184-See-Thru-Satin-Hard-Shell-Case-For-MacBook-Pro-17-in-Black-/271299331791?pt=US_Laptop_Cases_Bags&hash=item3f2ab346cf]Speck SPK A1184 See thru Satin Hard Shell Case for MacBook Pro 17" in Black | eBay[/url] I actually have the Speck black Satin case.
