Speck SeeThru Clear Case Review for 11-inch MacBook Air

[braguldo666]

hey Dave, which one do you think looks better, the satin or the see thru? coz I'm planning to get one for my 13 inch air ;)

[davomrmac]

@braguldo666 I think the satin looks better myself.

[ecartman12]

Dave is their any sort of Matte finish cases for the macbook air because the finish on the macbook air feels very matte like and these plastic glossy material cases do not feel as good to hold as matte.

[davomrmac]

@ecartman12 Incipio Feather is a matte (ish) finish.

[ecartman12]

@davomrmac Wow that was fast. Thanks. Was that the black case you used on your macbook air on your last q&a?

[davomrmac]

@ecartman12 yes.

[YaBoiDzzy]

Have you tried the Satin cover? Is it any better/worse than the plastic version? My MacBook Air is in the mail and I am trying to determine which product to purchase. Thanks!

[davomrmac]

@YaBoiDzzy There is a review of the satin on my channel.

[ecartman12]

Dave would you recommend this Speck case for the macbook air or would you recommend an invisible shield instead if you had to get one?

[davomrmac]

@ecartman12 I personally prefer this.

[ecartman12]

@davomrmac Which offers more protection and is more worth the money at the end? The Speck case or the invisible shield? Thanks

[davomrmac]

@ecartman12 This offers more and is worth the money.

[ecartman12]

@davomrmac Just one more question regarding the macbook air. Does the seethru case and invisible shield change the sort of matte feel of the laptop with a glossy feel? And if it does, does it make the laptop feel cheap and not as nice as the laptop without the case. Thanks.That's the last question I swear ;)

[davomrmac]

@ecartman12 Yes to both.

[ecartman12]

@davomrmac So they're both the same. Ok thanks.

[davomrmac]

@ecartman12 No, you misunderstood, I said Yes it changes the feel to glossy and yes it makes it feel cheaper - after all you are covering up Apple's finish.

[ecartman12]

@davomrmac I feel like a real idiot right now. :) Thanks alot for the explanation. Does the inside of the laptop where you normally rest your arms to use the keyboard get scratched up easily aswell or is that not an issue?

[davomrmac]

@ecartman12 Mine looks like new, just clean it once every couple of weeks.

[nautbijker]

haha nice

[Karza00]

are you a kiwi?

[abby4u]

I never understood the point of these cases...i have a MBP that is over 6 months old and i dun have any scratches or anything!

Another great video , im strongly considering buying a MBA as im just starting studying again and will be doing 4+ years doing a lot of essay writing and not too much need for much more.

My question is do you think an 11 inch would be big enough for writing long essays etc on or is 13 needed do you think ?

As always very helpful video

[davomrmac]

@corban2150 Should be fine, best thing would be to try it in store.

[corban2150]

@davomrmac Thanks im from the same sunny town as you so think the nearest store is a little ways from us, i think if i get one ill be getting one of these cases tho.

[MUFFTRIX]

I got one of these and it superb unless you want to take it off? it really hard to get top piece off? Have you any Tips?

[davomrmac]

@MUFFTRIX Big clip first with finger nail, then work on one side at a time.

[deWillinja]

does the clip scratching the macbook air on the process ?

[davomrmac]

@deWillinja Not for me.

[haroonbannu]

Hey Dave... I've always wanted to know, does this sort of cover affect the cooling of the laptop? I mean the whole idea of the aluminum body is that it acts as a sort of heat sink... So does adding the cover cause the laptop to heat up more than usual?

[davomrmac]

@haroonbannu A little, but hardly noticeable.

"nice to get into..he says"

oh Dave, lol.

[bowsim]

cracking review i am going to get one based on ur review cheers

[pstozohva4en]

Dave, what do you think about the clips? I've read a lot of review, which say that clips break quite often even without much pressure.

[davomrmac]

@pstozohva4en clips look fine to me.

[crazychristian28]

Im thinking of getting a speck case for my Macbook Pro 13". Do you prefer the satin feel or the clear plastic. I cant decide between them

[davomrmac]

@crazychristian28 The satin feels nicer, but this looks nicer.

[dell11700]

i suggest you getting a black cloth or something on your table....maybe something that is dark....it really makes a product stand out more when filming

[polashahmed786]

Good Review. I buyed d orange 1 after seeing ur review. I wil most likely order dis too after witnessing how nice it looks n ur mac air! Thnx Dave for anova top review

[CalenderJuiceSheena]

I have this case for my Macbook Air and I absolutely love it! Great review Dave!

[davomrmac]

@CalenderJuiceSheena I just wanted to say thank you for all your support. It is nice you take the time to comment on all my videos.

[iShaneFraser]

Great review Dave (as always). I quite like this clear one, fits on very well. If I ever get a MBA I'm sure i'd get this.

[davomrmac]

@iShaneFraser Thank you.
