I bought this case a few months after I bought my computer because I wanted to save my mac from getting scratched up. For that the case does it's job. I really like the color it gives my white macbook. The only negative thing is that there are parts of the case that seem a little flimsy, like they could break if they weren't on the laptop. That's not a big deal, just keep the case on the computer. I only wish I'd bought it earlier to protect my mac from scratches.
