I just received this case and noticed there is not a fitted blank cover for the optical drive. I am not go to use a dvd drive and would like to cover it. am I missing somthing? the aluminum peace that came with the case will not cover it. no way to...

I had the same issue also. No blank to cover the hole. Eventually I used some duct tape on the back side to hold the blank in place, it took me awhile to get it right. It looks ok from a distance LOL.

Almost all cases don't include optical drives, this one included. It does have a couple bays that you can mount optical drives to, however.

This particular one did not have any cases, just two bottles of solution. The assumption I think is that you already have the case with the disc.

I received mine new in June of this year and I believe it is the Oct. 2013 release. Part #ME293LL/A, model# A1398. It is the 15.4" with Retina Display Macbook Pro. There is no DVD drive. I got the iPearl McCover hard shell case and it is a perfect fit and went on easily, just need to be careful so as not to break the small clips. I would be surprised if it doesn't fit but can't guarantee that. Also did not realize they released a mid 2014 one? Not having that particular model listed may exclude it or it is very possible it will fit. Hopefully others might chime in for you. Good luck!

There are three bays in front. The top one has the DVD. The bottom one has the Hard Drive. The middle one is open, but maybe the hard drive could go somewhere else. I don't know, I don't want to open up the case at the moment. But you have one without any modifications.

I had a similar experience. But in my case it was my own stupidity- I didn't remove the clear plastic cover from the end of the optical cable. For me, that little clear plastic cover was very hard to see so I thought it was part of the actual cable. The odd thing is that cable, with the cover, worked with another device.

No, it does not come without a cover and the discs are not exposed. It's a completely sealed unit.

I have the same issue and I do not know if they sell the cover separately. Good question for the vendor though.

So no lens cover case? That sucks. Can't seem to find it for purchase in the US.

You remove the insert from the case and fold it in half and then insert the cover in the outer sleeve. The disc is inserted in another sleeve which fits inside the same outer sleeve as the cover. You could put the disc sleeve inside the folded cover so you could read the front and back but then it would be harder to get the disc in and out.

No cover that comes with it. Mine is on a DVD/CD/etc. rack that I got from Amazon. I do not have it on the top shelf & so, really don't have to contend with dust... Must admit that I love the bin & it's EXACTLY matching box, kinda a 2 for 1 combo ;-) as they are the exact same shape.

I don't have an optical drive in at the moment, but I bought this model for the aesthetics. I watch most of my content digitally. I am planning on adding a drive in the future for the moments when I do need the use for it. If you are looking for access frequently I would try the previous model :ML03B

Hi, I didn't get one when I ordered mine. Not to say that they haven't bundled this together since. I have had my case for about a month.

No.If you have a Flash drive and don't have the cover any more, I'd suggest getting a new "capless" drive where they just slide out. They get cheaper and larger all the time. Good Luck

As I recall, the external 5.25" bay has a spring loaded hinged door for use with an optical drive. I think it was not something one could easily remove. The bay also had a plastic button with a hinge for pressing the optical drive's manual tray control. This is one of the reasons I chose to go with a different case.

This case requires an open optical drive which will not include a physical eject button. Disks will be ejected through the O/S "eject" soft button.

There is not any disk exposed. It's a regular SATA hard drive, which I am using right now. Probably you are having an optical illusion :)
