Hard case for 13" MacBook Pro

[eastbayrae]

What do you guys recommend? I have an iGlaze and while it is good it has some serious flaws. It cracked at the edges within a week of getting and it covers one of the two mics. Incase doesn't make one yet. I have looked at the Speck and it seems okay.

I've had Speck covers on my MBP and loved them. Would not have a MBP without one.

Most reviews say the corners break like the iGlaze.

I use a Speck and I find it to be outstanding. No cracking whatsoever...

Is there a model name for the MBP Speck case? Or is it the only hard case they make? I bought a cheapy hard shell that is in two parts from Amazon for my 2012 13", and it works pretty good, but I'd like to scope out this Speck case you're all speaking of. Thanks!

Regrettably, I do not know the Speck product/model number. I just did a search on amazon and picked it out

Eastbayrae thank you! Looks identical to the one I'm using. Question for you all: do you find the MBP runs a bit hotter with the case on? While upgrading to Mavericks the other night, the darn thing got so warm I could barely stand it on my..you guessed it..lap. I worry it's not getting the ventilation it needs.

Just curious?what uses do you guys do with your laptop that you feel it needs a case?

I work in exceptionally dusty environment and just the thing sitting on my desk it has a fine film of dust on it within 2 hours of being at work. Add to that the fact I travel a lot with the military and my stuff needs to be somewhat durable, not Toughbook durable but close.

Thanks. Definitely makes sense in that case to have a case.

I use a case because..well..because I would hate to see the thing get scratched. Sort of silly as it never leaves the house, but I worry about scratching it even by putting it in and taking it out of the briefcase it is stored in. Same way with my iPhone and iPad..cases immediately.
