Does this case make noise when you open your computer/does it hit unwanted areas of the computer? i.e., leaves scratches, damages ports etc

No it doesn't. I doesn't slam when you put it onto a desk. It does not scratch the computer either.

Doesn't make any noise when you open it, and isn't any louder to close than it is without the case. Hasn't left any scratches or damaged my computer in any way, and is comfortable to use (except maybe when it sits on my bare lap and the feet leave marks on my skin!). ;)

I am responding from the computer, I have not found any damage, and so far love this computer! It is fast responsive and easy on my old eyes! Good luck to you U! Teresa

I believe you are trying to get at if it is a conductive mat. The mat is non-conductive and shouldn't be an issue. I've done a few repairs on it already where the parts I pull from the PC sit on it with no issue. As for booting up, I'm never a big fan of booting hardware up outside of a case, but it shouldn't cause an issue since it's anti-static as well.

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.

It is a decently quiet case. No rattling or vibrating noises. It doesn't not have any special kind of "noise canceling" or anything, but I can tell you, it is by far the worlds best mini-ITX case.

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!

Mine makes a little bit of of noise, but not too much. I believe it has an internal cooling fan, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Sorry, this probably not that much help.

Nope. Hadn't had any issues. Then again, my case has good airflow... It works perfectly for me.

I also just bought the laptop and I am hearing this weird clicking sounds constantly! I called tech support and they said it was part of the HDD Protection Settings, so I turned it off and the noise stopped briefly but came back. I think I will have to call again because this is noisier than the 2007 laptop I had before. If it doesn't stop I will return the laptop.

It's more of a whooshing noise. Similar to a case fan in a desktop. I'd say it's a bit louder than my PC if they were both at a similar distance.

Nope haven't had any major issues! Great case. Sometimes my adapter for my sound bar doesn't fit into the headphone jack with the case on, but this hasn't been a huge issue.

Honestly I have not noticed, my Mac never seems to over heat. No matter how long or how much work I performUsing it. I believe the construction of the case still somehow allows sufficient air flow. However if it is a concern for you, perhaps search for another case, but from my experience I have had no problem or complaints with it!

Mine makes a small noise, too, when I push down the corners. I don't think anything is "cracking," per se; I think there's just a small amount of flex in the screen/circuit board assembly, and it's moving slightly in the more-rigid back case. I think the only way to avoid that would have been to glue the screen solidly into the back case, which would have made it completely unrepairable. (I'm not sure that it can be repaired as it is, but a bead of glue around the whole screen would certainly have foreclosed any such possibility.)

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:

Is there no magnet in the case? I just received mine and it appears it will NOT wake the computer up when I open the case, nor will it but it to sleep when I close the case. The previous case I was using did this just fine, so it's clearly NOT the T100.==========================Actually, I've been testing it more. It appears there is a magnet in the case, but it is either weak or not properly aligned because it only rarely puts the Asus to sleep, and only rarely turns it on when opening the case. This is very disappointing for me. I may return it. I guess the question is, are all of these cases this way or just the one I received? Is there no magnet in the case?

The fan isn't any louder then a normal case fan. Most of noise comes from the hard drives spinning, which can vary from none if using ssds or very loud if using something that is 10k plus.
