Speck Satin vs Incase Hardshell Case
Having tried both the Speck and Incase offerings in my 15″ MacBook Pro, I can provide the following insights:
Fit:
I believe the fit of the Incase Hardshell case is superior to that of the Speck, which may be due in part to how the rear of the bottom half of each case clips onto the MacBook. The Incase has one long clip that attaches to the underside of the MacBook at the hinge, while the Speck uses only two small clips on either side. The top half of each case fits about the same. Both cases feature 4 small rubber nubs which provide an imperceptible gap between the case and the aluminum surface of the MacBook, preventing any stray particles from grinding between the case and the MacBook causing scratches.
Function:
Neither case impedes the MagSafe power input or screen viewing angle. I noticed some other reviews mention that the added weight of the case caused the screen hinge to seem looser, but that was not my experience whatsoever. I could detect no difference in hinge function, and the screen stayed open using both cases even at the most acute screen angle. Note that I used a MacBook with the matte screen option for this comparison.
The underside of the Speck features one small cutout for heat dissipation, while the Incase has dithering across almost half of the bottom of the case. Not only does it look better aesthetically, but I’d imagine the Incase provides superior heat dissipation as well.
The standby light, IR port, and battery indicator are functional / visible on both cases.
Weight:
In my opinion neither case added inordinate bulk to the MacBook. I carry my MacBook around all day, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use either one of these cases.
Quality:
The interior finish of the Incase has the same satin/matte finish as the exterior, while the interior of the Speck has a very cheap shiny plastic finish. Overall, the Incase feels like a higher quality product.
Verdict:
The Incase is superior to the Speck, but not drastically. Pick the case that comes in the color you like best. If both cases come in the color you want, get the Incase; it’s worth the extra $15.
Note: This comparison was made between the most recent Speck Satin and Incase Hardshell cases available as of the date of this review, as well as the most recent 15″ MacBook Pro w/ matte screen.

The Speck case for my aluminum mac-book pro is superb. The case fits perfectly and prevents dings and scratches that may happen, because of accidents. I started to get minor scratches here and there so I wanted something that looked good and work great. I found what I needed in this Speck case. Thanks Speck!

This cover was easy to put on my laptop and stays snug. I didn’t buy a cover for my previous Macbook, and after 2 years the exterior was a mess. It was dirty and scratched. This cover fits beautifully, is eye-catching (maybe too much), and has a nice feel. I’m very happy with it.

Satin SeeThru shell is actually a darker, sexier sports car / lipstick red than pictured. Incredibly silky to the touch, and putting it on the computer is a snap! Highly recommended, especially when you can get it on Amazon for $36 (including free shipping and handling) instead of the retail price of $50!

I love this product. Using it at the very moment. And here’s way i like it so much.
very durable,
snugs tight
thinner than expected.
satin feels great, not plasticy
color is soothing to the eyes.
the apple logo shows through the case.
con:
it doesn’t cook,
doesn’t clean
hardly smiles back
and only hold my hand when i reach out to hold it first…
which are all signs that this case shows no initiative in becoming a human being.
nonetheless, i love its spirit.

As the other Mystery classics that we have bought we like this one too. The sound and pictures are excellent. Just wish that there were more. We usually watch one or two in the evening. The choices of TV viewing is awful so we opt to watch old classic movies that anyone can watch with out fear of bad language or lewd images.

By far my favorite of these is Lady in Scarlet. Denny is wonderful in this comedy/mystery. Lots of intrigue will keep you guessing. Denny, remember, was the sidekick in the Bulldog Drummond series. For me he far out shown the various leads.
The others movies aren’t mearly as good and for me would rate 2 stars.
