I noticed this doesn't have holes for ventilation. What's the maximum number of hours the MacBook Pro 13 A1278 can be used before removing this case?

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.

Yes. There are times when the computer heats up and I remove the case. However, I looked up online and some site also said that my computer heats up even without the case.

There are air vents in the case, in front of MacBook vents. So no cooling issues with this case !

Hi Maria! Unfortunately, these cases are ONLY for the Macbook PRO, not the AIR. I believe these are the cases you are looking for: http://www.amazon.com/The-Friendly-Swede-Basics-Semi-Transparent/dp/B00AQAI5V0 If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

not sure what you are talking about, This case does not open fully with its zippers. you slide the computer in, no need for bands and then slide it out for use. the handles tuck into pockets on each side so it looks like a smooth portfolio. One can tuck pencil/pen, keys - in a pinch, and even a lipstick if one elects not to carry a purse. No room for plug, so you would want to have your macbook air fully charged. Fortunately the battery lasts a long time. I carry my case, w the computer in it in a rolling brief case, to and from work, but use the plemo case to go meetings throughout the day, instead and use my macbook air instead of an ipad, because I real computer for my work. not sure what you are talking about, This case does not open fully with its zippers. you slide the computer in, no need for bands and then slide it out for use. the handles tuck into pockets on each side so it looks like a smooth portfolio.

I'm sure it would. My Macbook Pro is a 13.3 model A1278, an earlier version of yours and it fit snuggly to it. I love it because it look sophisticated and everywhere I go people tell that I have a beautiful laptop case. It looks like it is more an journal than a laptop. However, laptop will over heat because not enough ventilations so I just use it whenever I am on the go and take it off when I'm using it on my desk. Overall, it would protect your laptop but something that you don't want to leave it on permanently because of not enough ventilation support.

I dont know. I have a macbook pro 13. If the measurements are the same in should length wise. If the macbook air is thinner than the macbook pro, it will likely move around a lot in the case.

I own this case and have also owned many cases with and without mesh/glass/tons-of-air-holes. This case will let more fan noise out but it really isn't that bad. I run 3 graphics cards inside my case (2 in a Sli, one for more monitors). If you can handle the subtle hum of fans then you'll be okay. A case without the mesh and is of solid material or some type of glass on the side will reduce the fan noise you hear. There are also many ways to reduce the fan speed on your video card when it is under heavy load, but you sacrifice its cooling. I'd also like to continue saying that I really like this case! If you have any more questions about this case I'll do my best to answer and I'll reply asap! I own this case and have also owned many cases with and without mesh/glass/tons-of-air-holes.

my 13inch macbook has had it on for 3 years now and it's got a full 1/2 that jets out away from the corners. It's literally like placing your macbook inside a bigger book. Once it's zipped its fully protected. And I still place mine in my briefcase for transport or I just zip up the book and take it where Im going.

I'm not sure. My wife has the newer macbook 13 but she is out of town for 2 to 3 more weeks overseas for business. If you can wait that long I will try and put my case on her computer when she gets home. I noticed her's is "just very slightly" thinner. I have not been on the case makers website recently. I would imagine they are making cases for the latest models now, but don't hold me to that. If I were you I think I'd see if I can send them a message just to be sure!.... The case though itself... is tough as nails and well worth it!!!!

It certainly is not airtight, but i don't think it has enough ventilation to put a computer inside the lockable compartment and run it for an extended period of time. There are a few decent sized holes for cords to run in and out of, but no real "vent. "

I hate those Incase neoprene sleeves because they really don't protect; I'd recommend the Thule Gauntlet made for the Macbook Pros. They are much sturdier and protects your laptop better. Those plastic Speck cases that fit snug to your computer will make them overheat; the whole point of the aluminum casing is to cool down the computer!

Not as much as you would think.. Well if you use your mac book often, then not so much. Honestly, dust always accumulates on any surface over time. The way I prevent that is by using a can of air-duster about once a week and just spray over the top and the bottom of both of the case covers. Then I use a damp cloth and wipe the surface and bottom of my mac. Takes less than 5 minutes. It's a good buy! I get complements on it all the time.

Anything is removable with enough time and effort. However it's not made to be easily removed by the average user. Moisture issues are due to air intrusion (that in turn causes condensation), which points a failure in the sealing mechanism. Unless you did something to cause an air leak then I'd suggest contacting apple because that is a product defect.

Yes there are screws that allow you to remove the drive bays. The airflow on this case is great. I have fans in every possible location. I have 9 drives in this case and no problems with anything overheating and the cable management is great. I recently put a 256 GB SSD in the hidden compartment on the right hand side.

My MacBook Air, has one hole for charger, one for usb cable and one for microphone, the top case doesn't cover these holes

Nope. Just got the Case Logic case today and it is way too big for my 2014 13 inch Macbook Pro Retina. I can actually leave the packing foam inside, and it still fits (which is how I may use it until I come up with a better case). I should have listened to the comments.
