Hey guys,
I bought this case and I have an issue with it. Top case fits perfectly but the bottom case does not fit that good. It fits everywhere but on the front (right on the space where you stick your finger to open the lid). The two little pieces of plastic don't snap and it's really easy to take off the bottom piece if you pull it from there. It shouldn't be like this, right?

Yes, my issue is with the front clips. Tomorrow I'll return it and try another Moshi in the store. If it's the same, I'll just ask for money back and buy another one. It's weird because the reviews say great things about the case.
I don't like Invisible Shields so I think I'll stick with hard shells. Which ones do you guys advise me to buy?
Thanks a lot, admonmansur.
Yeh, I just need to find somewhere I can buy the Speck. Or I'd just go with the online purchase. For now, I just hope that the other iGlaze in-store fits perfectly because I really liked the case.Not a problem, I would recommend maybe going with the Speck cases. I've had alot of bad luck with the smartshell's and i'm still dealing with their customer service. But I would maybe give the See-Thru a try, as I am trying to get my hands on the See-Thru soon once I have enough money to afford it
i was in the market for a case as well and i decided to go with the incase hammered case.
i heard too many bad reviews on the speck and the moshi. i also like the design of the hammered because it isn't just plain and i got the clear version so it still shows the beauty of the rMBP
while i was at the store, i did notice a new case that they just started carrying.
its by uncommon:

not sure if they're any good but giving those a try might get you what youre looking for

i havent seen them online, only in store
ive had it for over a week now and i love it. i had an issue with the first one i bought because one of the tabs broke off. i went to the apple store and they replaced it instantly.
no creaking so far but in terms of scratching, ive only taken the case off once and i havent noticed any scratches so far
cleaning, the fit is so tight that i dont think i need to be cleaning it at all.
I tried 3 different iGlaze and all have the issue on the front of the MBP. I ended up buying it because the guy at the store told me it was normal that it wouldn't fit perfectly there. I mean, I believed it because it's not that bad but I know the issue is there and it's driving me crazy so I'll probably return it and buy other one online. I just hope it doesn't have any issue because returning it would be a pain in the ass.
Thing is, I live in Europe and most of the cases I can buy online, come from the USA and it's almost certain that it'll stop at customs and then I'll have to pay the taxes. Besides that, I don't really know which one to choose. I fear that I buy a new case online and, if I get issues, the replacement process becomes hard/expensive.
Yes but Apple only has Speck or the hammered Incase (which I don't really like). And the Specks have been getting awful reviews :/
Yeh, maybe you're right. I own a nice Incase sleeve and that's more than enough to protect the rMBP when on the move but I wanted something to protect it when I'm using it as well. The aluminum is amazing but any minor bump will leave a mark and I want the rMBP to be impecable for as much time as possible. Meh, I don't really know what to do lol.
Yes, the warranty is another thing I'm worried about. You get 2 years in the EU without Apple Care so I still have more than a year. I don't want Apple to tell me they won't fix something because of a ding.I'm in the same boat as you, any dings or bumps and warranty is immediately void which I beleive is a bit BS. If its a drop damage then warranty should be void but with a ding thats just ridiculous due to the casing made out of anodized aluminium. I'm currently just waiting for Speck to sort my issues out, if they don't then I will be on the hunt again for another case
So, if Speck solves your issues, you'll stick with them? What were the issues you've got, if you don't mind saying?
What I don't like about the Speck is the fact that the translucid one is glossy and not matte :/
