I agree these cases are ugly and ruin the beauty of the MBA. However, some of us use ours in circumstances where we need/want some extra protection. I have Speck See-thru Satins for our MBP's but tried a Kuzy rubberized case off Amazon for my new MBA. I really like it for less $$ than the Speck. It's similar in quality and sheer so your Apple logo is visible. Only thing it's missing is a Speck logo.🙄
