(Late Year 2013) for the MacBook Pro 13 inch with Retina Display I ordered both the black and the clear Speck Case. Both fit perfectly! The protection against scratches and the like on MacBook housing is given to the cases. The cases themselves are very different! The colorless clear shell surface is hard and is therefore likely to be more prone to scratches, makes the MacBook but a lot more to look "original". The black version is much softer, velvety acts like rubber but the MacBook is no longer effective at first glance as an "Apple Book". The glowing apple translucent but cool through the lid shell round! Also chic!
Recommendation: For those who want to have a lot of original design, the clear version should take. For those who want to have an even more durable casing that also times to tolerate a sandy environment look without scratching, is even better in my opinion the black.
Conclusion: Dear one of these perfectly fitted shells, as scratches or dents in the MacBook.
