Is the bezel around the screen monolithic like the Macbook Pro or is it made with different materials?

Yes it is, similar to MacBook Pro. I believe it is an Aluminum unibody construction with rubber/synthetic bottom.

Hi Enrique,The Glossy Screen is a build-to-order option from Apple, and is not offered on the retailer model of the MacBook Pro. If you're not satisfied with a matte screen, you will have to purchase from Apple directly. I was in the same situation, and ended up getting the glossy screen from Apple after I compared the two side-by-side.

no, From what I was told these monitors were made to look just like the Apple thunderbolt monitors. They even have the same dot where the Thunderbolts have the camera. Take a good look at the thunderbolt monitor and then at the Monoprice monitor. You will see that both look a lot alike even down to the dot for the camera.

I would say my MB168B+ has a matte finish. I gave one to a buddy of mine and he loved it. He uses his on a Mac and I use it on a PC.The cover works as a stand .... but not all the well. I picked up a iPad/tablet stand that works better. Also the contrast ratio isn't all that great. But it is the best option for a portable monitor that is smaller and lighter than a traditional monitor.I also recommend picked up a USB 3.0 Y-cable which will power it from two USB port. This helps with heavy graphics or video. It will ficker if you try to watch videos with the included standard USB 3.0 cable. I would say my MB168B+ has a matte finish.

I think it's plastic with soft coating. You can see the Apple logo through the case. I highly recommend it!

It is not. In fact, the screen has about a two centimeter clearance between the edge of the screen and the bezel.

It's perfectly fits my macbook pro w/ retina display. You can still see the keyboard lit since it's transparent

I do not have an iPhone, just a Macbook Pro. It is a hard surface that seems like glass or a very shiny smooth plexiglass.

Yes, it come with a generic plain front place bezel, but this can be replaced easily for the bezel of your notebook.

It's both. It has a very thin aluminum skin on the front with a plastic bezel surrounding the huge touch screen on the back.

Although it may look very much like the original, there is that slight screen color difference when it's locked or off. The colors and everything else looks great while you're using it. Really identical, but yea i don't think it's an original Apple LCD screen. :l

Yes like it was a custom fitted case. The only thing that doesn't seem to work aesthetically is the illuminated apple symbol doesn't shine through brightly on the Mac unit with this case enveloped over it. Otherwise it's a nice way to protect the laptop, a little pricey but worth it. I have the 13" model not the 15. This answer is for the smaller model but may as well be the same for the 15" I would presume. I hope this helps you.

No, it does not. The connector is attached to the mother board and is not part of the screen or bezel assembly.

The bezel is neither. The bezel has a bumpy finish on top of a shiny finish. The net effect is that the bezel has a bit of a shine to it without being a finger print magent and doesn't have distracting glare. The screen itself has a slightly matte finish. The screen is glossier than the 6 year old Sharp Aquos it replaced, but it's not super glossly like some Samsung displays I've seen in the past. My viewing area has windows and lamps and the glare hasn't been distracting. Viewing TVs in a showroom, the finish on this screen is just like all other TVs offered at this time. I was concerned about this myself and I am happy with the finish on the screen. The picture still pops even though it doesn't have a super glossy screen.

Yes, it's a hard smooth plastic on the inner part, unlike like the outside. The outside isn't hard and smooth. It has a textured (pebbly), leatherette feel so it's easier to hold and less likely to be dropped. This case is a great fit for my MacBook Air 13", which I got about 2 months ago. Took me a couple of minutes to snap off one of the covers to look at the inside. Snaps right back on. I like this cover.

Yes there are bezels...although ever so slight it would be enough to protect if dropped on a flat surface.
