This is a transparent, hard-shell case for the newer [late 2008] MacBook 13" Aluminum Unibody, with black keyboard and no firewire, not the older white plastic model with removeable keyboard, and with firewire. This case is currently available in clear, pink, red, aqua, green, hazard orange, and purple; but there is also a translucent, 'satin soft-touch' version, available in black, purple, cranberry, pink and yellow. Most are hard to find.

The fit is perfect and snug, and removal is fairly simple. No overheating issues, all ports are accessible, and the MacBook opens as far as I ever opened it before.

The only complaint I've seen elsewhere is that dirt gets under the case and can scratch the MacBook. The instructions recommend removing the case and cleaning the MacBook with the included cloth at regular intervals to avoid this [as well as before installing the first time]. I've only had mine a few weeks, so haven't done that yet, but there is no dirt visible under my case.

Overall, I'm totally pleased with how well it fits and seems like part of the unit. I forget it's even there, and a few folks have commented about not knowing that Apple came out with new notebooks in colors!

Great!

I ordered this product for fear of potential scratches and dents in my new Macbook. So far I have experienced no problems with the case and no scratches despite hauling the computer back and forth from work for the past few weeks. Case was easy to place on and I have had little difficulty removing it when I needed to. I have had no problems accessing any ports or the disk drive. Does add a little bit of size/weight to the computer but this is barely noticeable and the plastic is easier to grip than the aluminum case of the computer which I found slightly slippery. Since ordering both a family member and family friend have ordered similar cases to protect their computers as well with similar positive feedback.

This product is a perfect fit for a Mac 13 inch just like a custom fit made to order. It's a great experience to buy at Amazon were the products are all fully inspected before they sell it even it's a used one. I 100% recommend this product to all who owned Mac 13.
