Good Value, Snug fit By Tessera * Fits the new MacBook Pro 13" too (only difference is the laptop "lock" notch near the CD drive is covered.) * Fits snugly with a slight bit of padding, so you can put your laptop in a backpack or something without scratching it. The case meets very well when the laptop is closed. * The Apple logo isn't visible (fairly minor) and the sleep light isn't visible. All other ports are easy to access. * When the screen is 100% tilted back (I don't really tilt my screen this far), it will seal of the rear fan port as the case meets. The rear of the laptop isn't actually covered by the case to allow venting. * It has a nice, soft feel to it that I like better than a plastic shell. The inside is lined as well. * Under $30 seems like a great value for this. It has a nice look (black matches the aluminum style). * I would order this same product again if I needed another. It looks like it could get worn out after a year or two of use, but that's kind of the point of a case. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Nearly Perfect Shell Case By J. Dulak Just got my new 13" MBP last week and I had already put a small scratch in the bottom aluminum cover :grr: from gentle normal useage. So I immediately set out to find a shell cover. I was never a fan of plastic covers (clear or otherwise) so I went in search of a leather cover at "any" price point (I also own a Vaja leather cover for my iPhone). There are plenty of high priced options that I'm sure would be "worth" it, but for $25 this cover is excellent choice! Even for $50 I'd still consider it money well spent especially compared to some of the designer MBP leather covers/cases that can run $100-$300! As others have noted, this case fits nice and snug. When closed pretty much everything is covered except for the ports and CD slot on the sides. The leather is thin (but that is to be expected at this price point) but has a very nice, smooth grained texture with a subtle Macally logo embossed on the LCD cover. Also, both the top and bottom do have some padding built into them between the leather and the plastic skeleton inside which is a nice touch and the inside has a soft faux suede insert to not scatch up the laptop. The only real cons of this cover is that it covers up the sleep LED indicator on the front edge and a cutout for the glowing Mac logo would have been nice (if you going for the mac snob look, LOL). Otherwise, this cover stealths your Mac a bit by being largely non-descript on the outside. Finally as others have noted, the case does close the back side if you tilt the LCD as far back as it will go, however if you look down at the hinge with the LCD open you can still see the vents so they can still blow out the top of the hinge. Not ideal, but the vents aren't completely closed off. This shell case is a definite winner, I'd highly recommend it and would buy one again. The few cons noted are easily overcome by the value of this case and for $25 it really can't be beat. Also as an FYI, I have an Incase neoprene sleeve case as well and my MBP can still easily fit inside of it with the shell case on which is an added protection bonus while travelling! 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. PROS, CONS, AND CAVEATS FOR SOME USERS By B. Hoak Reviewing this with Macally BookShell2 leatherlike cover bought in May 2010 with the Macbook Pro 13 model new release of April 2010 (see wikipedia for details of this Macbook 13 Pro) - it was a new spec in April 2010. PROS: *Professional look and feel - Understated and elegant black cover is soft and absorbs all light and reflections, which makes it look even darker than it is. It fits evenly around all sides on top and bottom. *Secure grip in hands - will not slip out of hands and cannot slide much at all when on a desk. *Cover attaches securely to laptop - The top cover has two clips on either side (top
