I have been using various hard shell cases for at least 10 years now. At first I would buy the high end ones like Speck and Incase, but they always started cracking around the port openings and hinges after the warranty was up (one year). Then I decided that I wasn‘t going to waste $50 on a case that lasted maybe a year, so I started buying the Kuzy cases on Amazon for $25. Well, those didn’t last any longer than the name brand ones, so I stared buying the $15 ones from various Chinese sellers on Amazon. No matter the price point, one year seems to be their lifespan. I’m not rough with my computers, and they hardly leave the house, but the cases just start to fall apart.
Really, I’m just looking for scratch protection. Back in the day we used to buy fun vinyl decals from Macstyles, but they went out of business years ago. Plus I think I want something a little more substantial than a piece of vinyl. I started to look for a silicon-molded case, but I’m not finding much. Does anyone make a soft silicone case for the MacBook Pro?
