I have chosen for this case, because it does not have to be put aside during use of MacBooks and thus constitutes a protection in any situation. Previously, I had a Neoprene Case, I go - always had to pull off and look for a suitable place for it - for example, in an airplane or train. That seemed awkward. This case, however, is not only very well padded, it also has in two halves fit high margins that ensure that the Mac does not slip out of the envelope, if you use it on the road unfolded on his knees. Processing seems very solid, the zipper is strong, almost crude and somewhat sluggish. On the other hand he does thus not seem to ever deny the service. The design should be that within the Booq range that best appeals to male customers. The Case purchased in February 2015,, smelled uncomfortable at any time. That surprised me to read the reports here enjoyable. Also there were no crumbs or other material detachment, of which occasionally been mentioned. I suspect very much that the manufacturers heeded the reviews and the vulnerability has been eliminated in the latest generation. From me therefore a clear recommendation.
