there it is for some people who don't know what it is..
I just ordered mine for my wife's laptop.
I have a co-worker who has had one on his laptop for a while and his wife has one too. I know personally several people who use them.
Their macbooks seem pretty well protected and they look pretty prestine.
Sure depending on your environment some dust may get inside and get trapped thus having nowhere to go will scratch your macbook anyway.
The person in that youtube video is probably like many people who believe "once I put this on I NEVER have to worry about it" and fail to take their share of the responsibility as to why this product failed for them.
Just because you wax your car doesn't mean the paint won't fade eventually or you won't get scratches. This case isn't a "set it and forget it" from time to time you will need to remove it, ensure no dust did get in there, clean the inside of it and the outside of your macbook.
For the reason I personally want it, it will do it's job well worth and more the 50 bucks I'm paying for it. My wife is horrible at keeping technology scratch free. So if she drops her keys on it, runs her rings, watch, over it, sits something on it, her macbook will not get scratched. What I saw in that youtube video was dust/dirt/sand that apparently got trapped via the openings in the speck cover and had no where to go but to scratch the macbook. Hell, the thing isn't air tight people. I mean if you take it to the beach chances are you'll get sand in there somehow, it's not 100% guarenteed. She complains about paying 50 bucks, she probably got more than 50 bucks protection and didn't even realize it.
Your macbook too will look like that if you cut crack and smoke meth around it. PLZZZZ! Just because you put ON a rubber doesn't mean at some point your gonna have to take it off. Eventually mr winky WILL get dirty and all rashed up!
I'm personally getting one and I'm 110% sure it'll do it's job at least 50 bucks worth, considering my wife did 100 bucks dmg to a pda phone because she said she didn't need a 40 buck cover for it? Sorry this product is exactly what I need.
