Good protective skin, some pleasure issues [Posted on 2005-08-25]
Apple accessories are an industry unto themselves, some of them of questionable usefulness (like personalized colors for your iPod's remote switch). Not so this Macally iBook case. I only wish I'd had a thick, spongy dermal layer like this one covering my thin-skinned Powerbook before it fell off a chair and sustained what proved to be more than a flesh wound.

Give Macally "A's" for price (I've seen similar cases costing 3-4 times as much at Apple stores), quality (I love making finger prints and other impressions in the shock-resistant plastic "ooze"), and design (two zippers, a well-placed velcro flap, and a sturdy handle insure secure transporting of your machine).

The foregoing features would satisfy me were it not for this little overachiever's claim that it can be used as a protective covering even while the computer is in its case. Wishful thinking. The 4 corner straps are simply too loose and marginally placed to remain attached to the machine while in use. Feels a bit like trying to maneuver the cutting of a slippery 12" pie in a greased 14" inch tin. May as well remove your iBook from the case once it's reached its destination. The failure of the Macally people to leave a "port-hole" for connecting a power supply is one more argument for letting your iBook out of its cage now and then.

All in all, a prudent purchase, providing you accept the trade-offs.

Good buy if you know what you are looking for [Posted on 2005-09-27]
This one is pretty good. It's very compact and very light and provides good cushioining to the notebook. It looks awesome as well. The only downside is the space is exact enough just to fit the notebook, the power supply cannot be put in tha case for this reason.

Excellent little case [Posted on 2005-10-10]
this was just as the desciption and the memory foam is really good. Great for my 12" powerbook and very, very compact. It even has straps to hold the laptop in place and a cooling strip inside to lift the back of your laptop up when using it in the case. Very good product!!!

I'm in Loveee and She Rocks!! [Posted on 2006-11-10]
I have first heard of KT Tunstall on Rolling Stones Originals and check the Internet for her other performances. She Folk music singer/song writer/ guitarist who is her one women band as well as having her own backing Band. Nevertheless, her rhythms are fresh and songs inspiring. I've actually learned the Guitar because of her, because her style is just too catchy not to. Anyways, I recommend for you to listen to any clips . . .and once you know what I mean, do purchase this CD. Especially if you the road trip kinda person. Cheers

After 2-years, still very happy with it thanks to one minor tweak. [Posted on 2007-10-08]
For the price, this has been the perfect case for my iBook G4 over the last two years. As noted in another review, the only design flaw is the elastic corner straps, which are not great, but work well once combined with the Velcro I used to keep the laptop and case bottoms and tops together. With that adjustment, I have kept the case on the computer 99% of the time I've owned it, only taking it off at airport security. It can run for hours without heating up the memory foam at all, which makes it more lap-friendly. The memory foam itself is a big advantage over other padded laptop cases I've tried.
