Of course, I like the MBP the way it is.. but, my MBP was ran over by a car.

See this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/448620/

I had to bend/hammer the bottom shell so it'd be flat, and there's a few other dents. Besides that, it works fine. I'm looking for something that will cover these flaws..

The Speck Hardcase came to mind, but I was curious if anyone had any other suggestions?

One thing I'm afraid of is if they'll fit. There are dents in my macbook, not super huge, but they're fairly noticeable.
 
The speck cases are pretty form fitting, I don't think they will fit over that...have you thought about replacing the casing?
 
Oh **** dude! When you said 'not super huge' I figured you meant a couple of dents.. those are pretty big AFAIC! I doubt the speck'll go over it as wgilles said. Yeh, try for a new case.. can you even use your drive?
 
The top case isn't as bad as it looks. It's still pretty straight.. just that dent in it. The lcd works fine. That's pretty much the only dent.

The bottom case I took apart, and bent back into place. CD's didn't fit before, but now it works fine. The superdrive works fine as well.

Of course, I would do the case replacements but the bottom case is pretty complicated to do and I wouldn't trust myself. So cases + labor might add up to $600-$700. I was hoping for just a hardcase to cover the flaws.
