I have the matte Speck and I dropped my uMBP from two or so feet onto the driveway. It landed on the corner, and is fine. The Incase might be good, but the Speck proved its worth.
Got a tip for us?

Speck Vs. InCase

I couldn't deal w/ my "black" incase on a white MacBook. I wish it'd actually been true black. Mine screamed dark purple regardless of ambient light. Incase was good about exchanging for frost.
Your review, while thorough enough to mention that Speck chose a really long name for its case, misses out on a very obvious reason to choose the Speck. Because there is more air between the inside of the case and the computer than Incase has, if you drop your computer it is less likely to dent because the case will deform more without touching the computer. That soft-touch surface also resists scratching considerably better than the smooth finish of Speck's regular shell.
PS. The Speck does protect against a drop.
My Review
I JUST purchased a Macbook Pro strait from Apple today. I have been a long time lover of the Speck black satin case, however, make sure you never plan on removing it, and if you do, be very careful. The tabs can break off so easy.
I almost went with the Incase, but even on the Apple site, I couldn't find one positive review for it. That should tell you something.
