I have the black case. When I saw it at the apple store it was a no brainer. The texture is this great non-slip-kiinda-rubbery feel to it yet it remains semi transparent just enough to let the apple logo glow through.
Does a great job of not keeping in heat while keeping the MBP temp good enough where I can use it on my lap for extended periods of time and by extended I mean 12 hours plus which is about my average work day.
I feel confidant that if I dropped my MBP it would be ok.
My only grip is because you're adding additional thickness on the outer frame of the MBP the screen does not tilt back much at all. I can get the screen vertical but thats about it.
Other then that perfect.
