Hello, I bought this case for its attractive price. This is actually a true shell speck and new in its box but unfortunately compatible only with the white MacBook model in 2009. I did not need to try it on my macbook pro A1278 because it is clear in any letter on the box: Suitable for white unibody - new model in October 2009. INCONSISTENT with the white of the previous generation MacBook and MacBook unibody aluminum / macbook pro
