No, is not see through. The little stones cover everything very well, you can see the apple logo only if its turned on .

Probably not. I purchased to cover for my new laptop to prevent such scratches. Good luck.

I've had it for nearly a year now with daily use... i can tell you that it has no scratches. the glass top is covered by a plastic film... just remove it if you'd like.. it's a protection measure for the glass.

It's two pieces; the back completely covers the back and, as in the image, the front portion frames the screen. I'm not aware of any covers that protect the screen itself. I suggest you purchase screen protectors; they're thin pieces of plastic film - they'll prevent scratches but will allow you access to your apps, etc.

Sorry I've taken so long to respond...Nope! The way it is set it just snaps on & off. When I removed the case, I did not see any scratches whatsoever on my MAC computer, which is also new. Sad I didn't also get Top Case's rubber keyboard cover. Going to order that now as well. Very, very pleased with my purchase and how cool it looks as well. Lol

Mine has no scratches or cracks. Sounds like you may have a bad one. It probably won't affect the sound but I know that when you buy something new, it should be in nice condition. Mine came wrapped in a plastic sealed bag inside the case and both ends of the middle piece had plastic caps. Good luck.

I'd say it's closer to a matte finish. I have had mine since August 2013 and I've been happy so far with the quality, although I haven't dropped it or anything. It fit perfectly on my laptop. It did catch at the back a bit at first, making a clicking sound when I opened it, but it went away very quickly with use. I put pictures behind it for decoration. It's not so matte as to make it hard to see through. Hope this helps!

i dont actually use the keyboard protector anymore because it began to annoy me at some point always had to put it back in its place but if i remember correctly yes its almost see thru

Both the back and the sides are covered along with a slight lip on the front.Do be forewarned that the 'clearness' will subside and scratches aplenty on the back within weeks. I bought this again even with what's mentioned here as the clear(sort-of) and the white works very well.Good luck

Hello Anonymous,ArmorSuit screen protectors can hide some scratches. It has hid scratches on certain devices depending on the scratches deepness and length. Thank you for your inquiry.

So far no scratches on the Macbook. I know what you mean about the iPhone scratching easily; My iPhone looks like a woodpecker had some fun with it even though it got placed in a case the moment I bought it. I guess the difference between the two devices is that the Laptop moves around a lot less than the iPhone, which makes the potential for scratches a lot less as well.

I received mine with a screen protector and no scratches. You could return yours if you like. They are quite expensive. A little protection seems deserved.

I would say it would do a good job of hiding scratches. The cover is black except for where the Apple logo shines through and then the openings for ports on the side and vents on the bottom.

The tech armor screen protector does not cause a watermark effect. I had the pro techs at an Apple store help me with this. They took a huge amount of time to use the proper cleaning techniques before they applied the screen protector. There is an art to this kind of procedure.

The logo is completely cut-out...there isn't any protective film over it. I've been using the case for 6 or 7 months and my Apple has been fine :) Hope this helps!

Yes. The laptop lid, bezel and areas below thr keyboard are plastic. I've had this laptop for nearly 5 months and there are no scratches to be seen. Hope this helps.

Hi K. Wedderburn! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) You should have no troubles with prints on the screen, never heard of it happening actually! Also these skins/keyboard covers are made specifically for Macbook 13" Unibody / Macbook Pro 13" 15" 17" / Macbook Pro 15 With Retina Display** / (please note the Macbook Pro 15 with Retina Display IS the LATE 2013 release version), so you should have a match! If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:
