how are the rippers? good & strong? Can the metal rippers scratch the laptop? any protective design around the rippers?

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.

It's good and strong, it hasn't scratched the laptop for me thus far. It's protected on the outside in the sense of it being sown "hidden" but not the inside.

I've used my sleeve daily since early August and I have no issue with the rippers. They're sturdy and I don't anticipate them breaking anytime soon. I haven't experienced the rippers scratching my laptop; you can fold them back as you insert your laptop to further prevent them from scratching it... but I haven't had to do this and I see no scratches. I hope this helped!

If you want to use noisy fans that tie up your usb port then they may work. I have been using 2 of these for several years on 17 in laptops and they work well. They only flex a little for lap comfort. Very tough and though best fit would be 15 in or smaller there is still nothing to compare with the cool lift period for me. It works and I love mine.

Ive taken mine off a bunch of times and it has never scratched my computer. Bottom first and pull really hard on the bottom of the top half of the case. If it wont come off that way then slide it to the right or left until the first bottom clip if off, that should give you the leverage you need.

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.

I use regular CD-Rs and they work. Have not tried to rip anything to a computer.

Unlike one of the responders to your question, I have used my iRoller on my laptop screen and it works great for me. I also use it for my cell phone and for my iPad without problems. I did not experience any scuff marks or scrapes or tracks with its use. I have also rinsed it off and dried it before using due to a dog who got a hold of it and shared it with a cat, so it got multiple hairs on it. It worked great after that as well. I'm wondering if you got a defective unit of some kind. You might consider returning it and getting a replacement just to make sure. Other than that, I don't have any other answer for you. Sorry!

Check the nomenclature! I bought the extra two year warranty. I use the laptop quite a bit as I am a little clumsy. Check around to ensure you are getting a good deal and read carefully exactly what is covered. Theft of laptops is a huge business! Get a good large book bag rather than the one offered. A large book bag ensured that I would never forget or leave my laptop unattended!!

I don't have any problems with it scratching my computer. I have a MacBook Pro and I was afraid of that. I used it for about 4 months without any problems with it scratching my computer but then I eventually bought a protective case for my computer as well.

I have used these for 10 + years and have never scratched a DVD. Care must be used when handling a DVD at all times, but no problem inserting 0r removing from the storage device!

The bottom piece comes off easy from the front of the laptop pulling down. The top piece is a pain to get off, I just took mine off the other day to clean my laptop. Not fun. Some pulling and prying required but it comes off undamaged.

It's great for the protection of your laptop. ... I've not dropped it though..lol...Not going to give it a test

I haven't taken mine off yet, but some of it I've peeled up. The material it's made of, I don't think it would. I haven't seen it to leave any stickiness or marks on my laptop. But like I said, I haven't taken it off yet.

I have the same laptop and would NOT trust it to be safe! I love this case for my laptop but it's a softer sided case rather than a true hard case... Has spongy bumps inside to protect it!

I purchased mine from Amazon Warehouse deals, which is a returned open box item from a previous customer but stocked and sold my Amazon. I purchased a "like new" condition Spectre and it came with original box and even included the original marketing materials etc. Not one scratch on the entire laptop, and it has worked flawlessly. Mine even had 9 months remaining on the original 12 month warranty through HP. Well worth the $300+ I saved from the "new" price.

I've never tried to "dig in" to a laptop. I suppose there are bits in this kit that would work for your purpose, it has just about everything.I would suggest you do a web search, maybe check You Tube, about dismantling a laptop, and tools required, like a wrist strap for static,or cotton gloves...

I have had mine for several months and love them. I had a disc holder that required sleeves and they did scratch my disk. These have a small grabber so that you are not digging for your disk. I intend to buy 4 more for the rest of my DVD'S and some for our games. Very happy customer.:-)
