Works well, but scratches easily and weighs a lot [Posted on 2008-04-23]
I purchased this product to protect my MBA from getting worn / scratches when sliding the MBA in and out of my messenger bag. Once I took this product out of the wrapper, I was pleased with the 'glossy' look of the product - the 'smoke' color combined with the high sheen of the plastic made it look really sexy.
It easily installed by 'snapping' on the outside of the MBA - it also has vents and holes that lets the MBA function as it was designed.
Overall, I am pleased with this product except for three things -
1 - the outside had scratches and looked worn within 1 week of use (the only other thing I keep in my messenger bag is a leather portfolio).
2 - the two covers weigh about .75 lbs - seems like a lot when the MBA itself weighs 2.75 lbs...seems like it could have been manufactured at a lighter weight.
3 - the weight of the cover when attached makes the open screen move back and forth when I type (the screen doesn't 'vibrate' without the cover on it) - which makes me wonder if it isn't too much weight for the design...and it makes me wonder what effect it is having on my hinge....
Still, it is protecting my MBA....so I will continue to use it - and I would recommend to you, if my three listed concerns are of no concern to you.
