Im searching for Macbook pro cases. i saw the rubber one in the Apple store, and honestly did not like it very much. It looked like it would get dirty very quickly. The Speck hard shell see thru seems like a great case and I was thinking about getting that. Any suggestions? Whats the best case for keeping laptop cool, protects laptop well, cool design, and lightweight?
Got a tip for us?

I'm using Speck clear see thru.. I love it so far.
I love the aluminum look of mbp. It's kinda easy to get dirty, but if you take care of it then it would be fine.

Not buying a case for my 15'' rMBP... I heard that the case only holds in a lot of heat which isn't good for it, other's used cases for years though and didn't have problems with heat, guess it all depends on who makes the case.
However I am getting this for my rMBP. Very thick material, so it shall protect my baby very well! ^ ^

You might be right, I've found temps with a hardshell case on to be much higher than without.
I bought iCarbons for the top lid and bottom.
I don't drop mine or anything, just sometimes stuff will hit the top and it made me uneasy so I love the iCarbons now. Saved me a bunch of times.
One noise I hate hearing is the charger metal sliding against the macbook which would happen sometimes.
I also actually really like the look.

It's like most neoprene sleeves, except made out of a memory foam material. It is great against impacts because the foam acts as a stiff shell when sudden force is applied to it.
I leave my macbook in my backpack with full of books. My backpack gets thrown around and falls off desks all the time. However, my laptop is just like new. And it's costs about as much as a neoprene sleeve, which are the cheaper options for mac cases.

I hate hardcases, heard to many horror stories about the cases damaging your laptop. Just get a fancy leather sleeve from http://jolioriginals.com or if you're not into leather, the http://crumpler.com or the http://foofbag.com sleeves are also nice.
^This. I've been using one with a Crumpler backpack for the past nine months, and it has served me well.
I've been using an Incase neoprene sleeve with my 2009 MBP almost since I bought it. It's a great barrier between my laptop and college lecture hall desks.
I've never used one of those plastic cases. Just accept that the aluminum will get minor scratches over the years.

Those cases are good for everyday use. However if you are doing intensive tasks it will cause your laptop to heat up more.
