I bought this case but a friend told me to stop using it because with time dirt gets in between the casa and the mbp and it scratches the mbp. True?

I still didn't remove the case from the mbp so I couldn't answer if that occurs, although I think it is not likely to happen if you don't remove and intall it everyday.

it is true if you dont clean the case regularly. if u dont clean the case then the dirt could scratch the mbp

Yes - I bought this earlier this year and just took the case off for the first time to take a peek and the entire bottom is covered in scratches. I would have been better off leaving it uncovered.

I never remove the case. It doesn't cover up any of the openings/slots in my MacBook Pro 13. As a result, I assume that it gets all of the ventilation it needs.

I have the blue and white case and because the white part is rubber it gets really dirty. I don't think it comes clean...I've tried several methods to clean mine. I recommend getting a case where the rubber is a darker color.

Yes it is. That's the way it is with almost every case I have. It was a bit of an irritation when I used it.

I got the early 2014 model. One of the "grabbers" broke very quickly and made my laptop go flying out of the case a couple of times. I caught it each time, but that's still unacceptable for a case. A case shouldn't put the thing it's protecting in more danger.

I have the white and it got dirty within 1 day. I have tried to remove with with Mr. clean magic eraser, alcohol wipes and bleach wipes. Nothing. Still dirty. I just ordered the clear case, perhaps I will have better luck.

I agree with Ginger, I've had my case for over a month now and works fine. I have the MBP with retina 15" Late 2012 and the case took a little pressure to fit the screen and it eventually did snap on to all of the sides. My advice is to leave the case alone once it is on otherwise it will crack over time if you take it on and off frequently.

The outer layer of the case can be cleaned. When I dropped mine doen the stairs mine didnt scuff or scratch at all. I went with the blue and mine shows very little to no dirt

My MBP comes out with one hand. The plastic lining-sleeve on my bookarc has a good grip (MBP doesn't slide around when docked) and it doesn't stick to the MBP when I remove it.Keep in mind, it won't fit properly in bookarc if you have hardcase on MBP

I have kept mine in my case for two years. I recall there being a odor during installation and when I would first start the computer up. It has long since faded in odor and the padding is still fixed to the interior. No smell.

If you don't clean the cover periodically (every other month) it will accumulate oils, gunk, etc... and it will transfer them to the screen. No different than any other keyboard cover. On the other hand, it fits like a glove and protects the the laptop well

I can't accurately answer that question since I bought the black case. If my hands are moist, then they leave finger marks on my case. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a lighter case though since I wouldn't expose my mac to a dirty environment or near where we eat or have beverages.

I have not had any issues with the keyboard scratching the screen because there is a small space between the keyboard and the screen when the folder is closed. they don't even come in contact with each other.

Mine hasn't. The case with the apple circle cut out is easier to remove which would decrease your chance of scratching.

I have a black case so the getting dirty part I don't know to much about but as for color rubbing off that will not happen. I love my case and have not taken it off since

My case has stayed clean. I've only had it for a month and I wouldn't say i'm in a dusty environment but it shouldn't be an issue.

I don't have that problem. It's definitely a tight fit, but if it were looser I'd be afraid of it slipping off like other cases I've tried. I've had mine about 18 months (approx) and it's been great. It now has a few very light scratches on it, but better it scratched my case than my Mac. Just bought a MacBook for my fianc and ordered the same cover for her and hers fit perfectly as well. I guess anyone could get one that wasn't manufactured perfectly but I'm two for two good ones. Hope this helps.
