SeeThru Hard Case for the 15 inch MacBook Pro
Speck has just released their newest product: the SeeThru Hard Case for MacBook Pro. The SeeThru is a polycarbonate shell for your MacBook Pro (a MacBook model is coming soon) which enshrouds your MacBook Pro. All the ports have cutouts so you never need to remove the case, unless you need to take out the battery that is.The SeeThru is available in red or clear, and costs $39.95.
Thanks, TMac.

Wow.. this looks to be a good companion for MacBook Pro. I am tempting to buy one MacBook soon, hopefully they will come out one model for MacBook too.
Cheers...
This is a fantastic idea. Yesterday I discovered a dent in my Powerbook -- I can't eject my PCMCIA memory card reader anymore. And the corner around the power socket got dented over a year ago, it's been a struggle to keep it plugged in ever since.
Yes, I take care of my Powerbook. Every Powerbook owner I know has dents and even sometimes even warped frames. These aluminum chassis are just stupid. I sincerely hope that the next MacBook Pro revision adopts the same shell material as the MacBooks.
How can you say ColorWare PC is better? For the price ($40), it's SO much more affordable - PLUS it PROTECTS the machine AND it's NOT permanent, so you could always take it off anyways.

I ordered one of the red ones theoretically to protect it, but also because its the same color red as my old 1986 Acura Integra. The MacuraBook Pro is thus born!
I'm disturbingly excited about that.
I'll certainly be purchasing one. I'm not too worried about heat, right now manually control my fan speed to keep it cool, but I'm working on an application that will completely replace the OS X fan control system. But this product kicks butt...I'm tired of worrying about scratches.

I bought a MBP because it doesn't look like a tank (Thinkpad) or simply cheap (Dell). A coloured plastic shelf turns a sleek and beautiful notebook into a cheap OS X thing...
Besides, my MBP does not have one scratch, and I just throw it in my bag every day - the only place you see the use is the opener, it gets a little dark...
Heat was the first thing that came to my mind too. Love my MBP, but it gets toasty sometimes. Not sure slats on the bottom would sufficiently dissipate the heat.

Not to mention this is less expensive.
screw that, http://www.colorwarepc.com/
