Hey Mike,

do you think that combining Speck's Satin SeeThru hardshell case with 12S' BookBook will have any drawbacks? The 15" MBP should still fit inside even with the shell case attached...Working on a MacBook Pro for a longer period of time (more than 2h) while leaving it in the BookBook will most certainly cause overheating, and for that reason I would use the Satin case. BB is still great to carry around, providing double protection for the laptop :)

@TRXforces There should be room for a shell case.

What about over heating? Using your MacBook Pro in that case, wouldn't it over heat?

You think they make "smaller book" cases for power cord, adapters, etc.

@CaptainFur Probably no more than using it on a soft surface. The MacBook Pro vents are on the rear hinge so air should vent up fine. That's my guess anyway.

The elastic straps are actually for the screen so when you open the book book it opens your mac.

you repeat "you know" and "definitely" way too much .. but anyways, it's a nice case :))

I've had mine for about a year. I still get compliments on it. If I could ask the designers to do 1 thing beter, i'd say, make the zipper straps stronger and more durable. The zipper always gets stuck for a second and u can tell that "it" will be the first to breakdown. But other than that its great
