hey im using a red one too. really liking it. classy and the matte color is great.



but i just bought a yellow speck see thru satin for my new mbp 15" now the problem is, i cant use the new charger port with the speck. im not sure whether i accidently bought the speck for the older mbp version but with that clipper thing, and the charger being shaped like that, i cant seem to charge my mbp. will go back to machines to ask them about them. cos they clearly stated that its for the new mbp.

anyone out there faces this problem? cos if there isnt, den i proly bought the speck for the older version. and im gonna give that machine 'genius' a piece of my mind if i cant refund that rm178.

really? are you using the new charger or the old charger? it works fine with the old charger, but the new one, shaped like a needle, that doesnt work with the specs. aihs. now i dont know whether to go back to machines, cos i doubt they wud gimme a refund. but i dont wanna b using the old charger as i have 2mbp and only 2 old charger. hmm..

huh for the charger? lol. bro why do you wanna protect the charger? hahha.

anyways, took my speck back to machines. and they said the there are many cases of speck not able to fit with the new charger. but fortunately, the JUST stocked up on the new batch of speck casing that FITS with the new charger. i didnt like the colors available there, so instead they gave me a coupon kinda thing of the same value as my old speck so that i can purchase the new speck with the color of my choice within one month or just purchase anything i want within that price. thumbs up customer service for machines.

ouch bro! think it shud b quite common as it make sense for the clip to make the palmguard to come off. urm try cutting a small portion at the clip area of the palmguard?

maybe the clip part has to be between the palmguard and the mbp. but either way, think cutting off that part wud be the best. solve it once and for all.

ive used my speck satin too for quite awhile, about 2years? and the exact thing happened. the clips one by one started to come off, this is for the body, not for the screen. but i think its actually a good thing, now its easier if i wanna remove the casing. it was hell trying to remove the casing before this.

i think there are quite a few other brands which offer similar snap-on casing ie. incase feather. i went with the speck satin cos i like the surface texture, and the satin's color options. :thumnbs:

precisely bro!
cos i travel alot. almost once every two months. so i will den put on the speck casing, and just dump it into my check in luggage. so far nothing happened la. put in there with camera etc.
hahha at first i used the speck satin religiously, and it looked great. until it got scratched. speck satin getting scratched looks really messed up. it was from den on that i decided that i will only used it when the mbp's on the move. now, most of the time its naked on the desk.

p/s: the speck satin 'did' help a lil when i dropped my mbp from table height to parquet floor. nothing happened to my mac. pheww! i think would definitely be more severe if there werent any casing on the mbp that day.

thicker yes, but heavier not so much, as the mbp itself is already like a brick.
but what is unfortunate is, before putting on the speck satin, i could fit the mbp into my bag's laptop compartment. after fitting the casing, it wudnt go in. firstly cos of the additional thickness, secondly cos of the surface haven so much friction.

my advice is not to get the invisi shield. my friend bought it for his mbp, and the result was bad. alot of dust started to collect at the corners. bcos the edges of the mbp is tapered, hence the sticker does not join perfectly at the corners. er hahha hope im making sense. either way, the invisi shield on my friend's mbp started peeling after awhile.

i wud actually prioritise a casing than a palmguard. when i first got a mbp few years back, i was wondering whether i shud get the palmguard. turns out simply cleaning the palm area every once in awhile is sufficient enough to make the palmguard area look 'clean'. perhaps it depends on how much your palm sweats.

yeah the chain and watch part i feel you. but ill b 'in contact' with my mbp for a period of time, hence removing my watch seems.. bearable.

i think moshi has one that has sort of the same surface texture of the mbp on the palmguard. even so, you do see a difference.

i only have a satin black on my mbp. i used to have a keyboard protector on my mbp keyboard. but i really hate it during 'compression'. like when you press on your keys, it doesnt feel 'natural'. anyone else understands this feeling hahha?
didnt use it after two days.

now i use it when im transporting my wireless keyboard, or when im not using my wireless keyboard for awhile to prevent dust collection.

this is not ideal but i usually use the spray that i use to clean my monitor, spray it on a micro fibre cloth as well, and clean the palm area. i have another micro fibre cloth purposely for the monitor so not to scratch the monitor, just in case any 'hard' dust gets trap while cleaning other parts of the mbp.

bro it seems like you are pretty equipped to clean your mbp. mind explaining how does that eraser works bro?

wow cool.
how about the color options?

mbp?
my mbp has been using a speck satin for a few years now. use it only when i need to move about, it is naked when placed on a table for a long time.
never dealt with heat issues so i guess its ohkay?
