I heard dirt can get in between the hard cases and end up scratching it up way more. Is this true?

Dirt can find its way anywhere! I love my hammered case. I am already very mindful of keeping my Mac Book in pristine condition and having the hard case, to me, simply adds a little extra protection. Just treat your computer as you would if it didn't have a case and keep it away from dusty / dirty surfaces and always in its computer bag when not in use and I'm sure you won't have any issues with scratching or unwanted dirt!

I do not experience such thing, but then I rarely open the hard case off my laptop, so it would not allow any debris to come in between. I have used it for a year, and it is still going strong.

Also getting this case at such a lower price than what's it store is a great bargain. It has a smooth touch on a textured surface with a muted navy bluish/gray matte color! Definitely a nice unique look vs your common black case that goes for like $50 + in stores.

No idea. I have the gun metal color. I don't think the cases are that easy to get dirty though. Pretty easy to wipe off and keep clean.

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.

As long as you can carefully insert the disc sideways into the slot you have no chance of scratching the disc. The slot is wide enough so that shouldn't be a problem. It really is a very easy system to use

I have the same issue once it gets dirty you have to switch out the silicone shell. Other than that it's great!

I would think any case would get dirty over time w/ normal wear. Having said that, I think this case will take a long time because it is made of solid silicone (?) and has glossy, smooth surface so it is resistant to most stains and is easily wipeable. Hope this helps.

I've been using it for one and half week and the case still seems like new to me. And even if it gets bit dirty just wipe it with some detergent, after all its just hard plastic.

It came with a soft case that will keep dirt off. Nothing fancy, but it does the trick. If you want a hard case I'd wait to get them & then buy one that's just the right size.

I have not had any problems with it scratching my laptop. I love the case. If by rippers you are referring to the zipper, I have not had a problem yet. I only bought my in August though. I also have a case cover on my laptop. The padding in it is rather thick, which is nice.

I saw no possibility of that happening with my case. I had wet hands touching it and was afraid it would ruin it but it never did. Very fine leather. Once a wet wipe laid against it for hours and I had a very big wet spot on it. I was really afraid it would be stained for good. I let it dry and no evidence of it getting wet at all! It look as it did when I first received it. Very good quality leather. I love it. Hope this helps u.

I have only had my case for a short time so I only have a limited experience but I don't see this to be a problem. If you handle the disc properly. Any scratches would result from you mishandling the disc, not the storage device.

not really the two layers of casing are too Thick and aluminum layer between the casing seems to get all wadded up

Yeah its pretty tough. I once threw my S5, when in this case, across the room during a wizards game because I was pissed and it survived with barely no scratches, even after landing on a hard surface and sliding like 10 feet into a wall.

it is easy to scratch and stuff does get underneath it.....as well the case that is hard the corners are easy to break off without any rough use whatsoever.

It's not normal. I have the 1st gen Mini and the brown case cover. Looks great and works well but will say the brown leather gets dirty very quickly...return it for an exchange.

Hi Carolyn! We have beeb selling these cases for the past year and have not heard of any complaints, so I don't believe you would have any issues. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

There is no need for a grounded mat, if your tower pulls air from under the case, then a hard surface would be recommended. Not many do, but I do have one that has the power supply on the bottom and pulls air up from underneath the tower. I would consider a surge protector or UPS before a static mat under the tower.
