    Got a great deal on black Friday on this case. $20 off Not bad at all. Case feels solid and nice to the touch. It’s a Matte clear case. Leaves no finger prints. It’s the dot version, very smooth on the outside. Locks on to the MacBook with ease. The only draw back I’ve seen is that mine had a very minor scuff mark, barely visible from an angle. I could return and exchange it, but won’t bother me and not necessary. Very satisfied with this case. I’ve seen other priced the same and more expensive and honestly I didn’t like them. Normal price is 54.95. I think it’s a bit pricey. But at $34.95 it’s a great deal.

    Nothing terrifies me more than having an unprotected computer. Just bought a new MacBook Pro 16" and needed a good shell to keep it safe. I love the hard exterior and feel like it's not too bulky either.

    I've have my Macbook and this case for a few months now and have only had 1 incident with dropping it... and it definitely protected my new Macbook! I do have a scuff on it now, but I guess that's just a reminder to be more careful lol. Would buy again.

    This clear case does the job. Fit is perfect, it’s light and doesn’t add any unwanted weight to the laptop. The finish is also great, my daughter loves to put vinyl stickers on her laptop and this case is smooth to get those vinyl stickers on and off if my daughter wants to change it. But most of all it’s waterproof and provides ample protection on any accidental bumps that you will normally encounter with your laptop.

    Awesome case, definitely does it’s job at protecting my 16” MacBook. Wish it was clear without dots but that’s just the design. Fits like a glove and makes me feel good knowing the outer parts of my MacBook are protected against scratches. It’s very light weight and thin so it doesn’t bulk up your MacBook.

    Slippery Macbook Pro case

    A decent case, goes on and comes off easily. I just wish it wasnt so slippery. My previous MacBook pro case had a bit more grip, and the bottom rubber pieces at each of the 4 corners also gripped hard surfaces better. Anyway, its protected my MacBook well, just be careful when carrying it. It's VERY slippery.

    This is a perfect fit for my apple laptop. Since I put this protector on my macbook pro, I did not have to worry about it getting scratched or dinged anymore. I am no longer afraid to put something on top of my laptop (light objects of course) since it is now protected. I am not sure though if it will last because it is made of thin plastic. I think it is only good to prevent my laptop from scratches and that it would most likely break if I were to drop my laptop due to its thinness. Nevertheless, I am happy that I got it because it was on sale. I do not recommend buying it at regular price because it is ridiculously expensive.

    Perfect product, great fit and secure feel in hand. After many years and many MacBook Pros, I always and only buy this brand and it never fails me. Each case lasts years if you only mildly abuse your personal devices; heavy duty offenders will get 18+ months and/or two nerve-shattering drops before it needs to be replaced. These cases stay simple, stylish, and effective with praise-worthy consistency, from one klutzy, grateful owner to future others.

    The case fits perfectly for 2023 MacBook Pro 16”. It has a semi-opaque matte-like texture that will likely “hide” scratches better than glossy-texture cases. On my case, I’ve put on a dbrand skin and the sticker shows through the case with a mild opaque look.
