Question: Does it increase the temperature of the macbook pro?
Document: This hard case fits snugly to my MacBook Pro Retina, has excellent &#34;gripability&#34; and looks stylishly conservative - I don't miss the cutout to let everybody know that this is an Apple. I will check to see how well the lining of this case keeps out dust in a few months.
Fits like a glove on a late 2013 MacBook Pro with retina display. The laptop no longer slides on my lap like it used to do with the smooth bottom. The case has a nice feel and is thick enough so the Apple logo cannot be seen through it while turned on, most people don't even know it's a Mac now.
There are foot nubs on the bottom cover, which very slightly elevate the laptop. At this early stage, I haven't had issues with overheating - and the design leaves all the vents in my MBP open, although its likely that the bottom cover does prevent some heat dispersion. It is also easy to put on and take off at any time, if needed.The only material downside is that It does increase the size of my Macbook, and the cover adds 0.9 pounds. Depending on your perspective, this is either a dealbreaker or gives the MBP some heft, so it doesn't feel so fragile.
After purchasing my 15" Macbook Pro with retina screen, I needed a laptop cover that would provide reasonable protection against bumps (and not only scratches) in transit. Because my laptop gets substantial use - I needed to stop cradling my precious, fragile baby, and use it fearlessly.The polycarbonate casing on the STM Grip does give me this peace of mind (particularly with the corners of the screen), and is very simple to install and fits perfectly. I like the inner microsuede lining which supposedly stops dirt getting in the case, and the outer soft touch and tactile lines - which aren't quite rubbery - but do give me a much better grip than the smooth aluminum did.
Since I think this is an awesome aesthetic feature of the computer, I find it disappointing that they did not make a clear plastic window on the top of the computer.I would recommend this case for protecting your MBP 15.In summary:Pros: 1. Sturdy design 2. Wavelike contour enhances grip 3. Does not seem to pick up dust/particulate 4. Sleek/Minimal size increase when placed on MBP 15Cons: 1. No clear window on top case
great case for my macbook. fits well, and provides some impact protection.
Excellent soft touch plastic cover. Excellently fits to my MacBook PRO 15 retina. Small remark: consider that the cover blocks access to HDMI port so you will need very thin connector for HDMI
easy to attach and remove from my macbook. Durable material and is grippy as the name suggests.Only downside is that edges of the case do run slightly higher then the edge of the computer where you would rest your palms.Was slightly annoying at the start, dont notice at all now.
If it were just a cosmetic problem, I might have let it slide -- although, when paying almost $50 for what is essentially two pieces of plastic, I would expect something that doesn't look like factory seconds. However, the hardened drop is just high enough to keep the MacBook from closing properly and actually pushed the lip of the top shell up and, I fear, eventually off.Let's hope this will be resolved between Amazon and the reseller quickly. When it does, I will revise my review accordingly.
For me, this was a price I am willing to pay, as my focus is on everyday functionality and performance. Visually, I quite like the minimalist aesthetics, and I don't need to advertise the Apple logo at the back of my screen.I chose STM, as I've had a positive experience with their customer service concerning their backpacks in the past. They are an Australian company who produce cases and bags for ipads etc. They don't disappoint here - as the construction is good quality and sturdy.Before choosing this protector, I considered the Wrapsol and Zagg offerings, which preserved the look of the Macbook, but it seemed like a huge pain to apply with sprays and precision etc.
Answer: In my experience, the case hasn't had an impact on the temperature.
