Does this make your macbook noticeably heavier?

The difference in weight is negligible and definitely worth it for the sake of protecting my Mac.
1865815
No it does not. Once installed we have come to take it for granted and hardly know it's there.
1865816
No! It does not which makes it so nice! And also, the laptop doesn't heat up when you are charging it with the case on! :)
1865817
No it doesn't. It's light weight but still sturdy. And it doesn't make the laptop bulky.

I can feel the difference; after all it weighs about 2/3 lb added to a 3.46 lb device; that's an additional 18% and not negligible. Compared to my old 5.5 lb 15" Macbook, the uncased Retina was 36% lighter; with the case it's 28% lighter.

It's pretty snugg (no pun intended) on my Macbook Air as there is no gusset on the sides - just a "knife edge" (like a toss pillow). It is fully made of leather so I'm sure it will give a little but I don't think it would fit the older model Macbook (my daughters old white one is about 1" thick) very well. If it did ... it would really take a LOT of stretching.

I purchased a rubberized hard shell & did not like the way it felt while carrying the MacBook pro , I prefer a carry case w/ shoulder strap while carrying the laptop, feels more secure.

Btw. Mine is a pro, not a plain MacBook. I don't know if that makes a difference

I believe its less than a pound. I don't notice too much of a difference. Plus I feel more comfortable with the case on, in my busy environment. Hope this helps! �

I just tried it...I'm actually typing on my laptop, on the book stand now. I have a fairly light MacBook, so any laptop that is heavier that a new MacBook might be putting weird stress on the standing arm. There's a little bit of give (or bounce as I type) and I wouldn't want to rest my hands completely on the laptop. I don't think the stand is set up to withstand pressure in this specific direction, you know? You would also have to adjust the arms that usually hold the pages down. In their normal rest position they would block your hands from typing. But it's working for me right now and I'm been using my for heavy science books for about 3-4 months. Hope that helps!

Hey, Syndi: I've been using this case for about 2 1/2 years, no problems with wrist rubbing at all. During regular use of my MacBook Air, my hands don't touch the case at all. The only thing I'd like to see on this case is heavier "feet" on the back of the case, to prop the back end of the computer "up." The existing feet on my case are thin plastic. I'm careful with my computer, and even so, finally broke one of the feet. Otherwise, totally happy with this case and would buy it again. I get regular compliments in public about how nice the case looks.

It is extremely heavy and strong. I carry my 15" macbook pro(which is heavy)and three books for class plus a full size stapler and pens and graphing calculator....it is way stronger than necessary.

Ehh...thats questionable. I use mines with a 15" MacBookPro about 7lbs I think. I have mines mounted by clamp and I would say its not. The weight of my hand resting on it adds substantial stress to the clamp, the arm extension and tray pivoting joint. I can type directly onto the keyboard w/o putting the weight of my hands on it, but resting the full weight of my hands on it ....I personally wouldn't recommend it- at least not with a clamp mount. Also- note that the plastic support tray is attached to the metal arm extension by a sturdy plastic piece...sturdy, but still plastic.

It must be a mistake but I am not positive. It feels like it weighs 5 lbs or less. It is pretty skinny for such a large monitor. It is almost an ultra laptop

Not sure how to answer this. It does make the mini iPad heavier. Just like a case of your phone. It's made of some kind of thick bendable plastic. My 6 year old got this last Christmas and has had no problems carrying it around. It makes the iPad a lot sturdier and safer!

Yes, it is bit heavier to carry in side bag. But I have been carrying it in laptop sleeve bag as this laptop is pretty slim.

I don't think it feels super heavy but I would guess it probably does add a full pound.

The magnetic clasp is VERY STRONG and sticks right away when you near the two magnets together. I was actually surprised of how strong the magnet is to the both of them, and very good question by you. Now, with the Macbook Pro 15; without the disk drive, the laptop itself is BARELY loose, perhaps like less than an inch! So you don't have to worry of the laptop wallowing around while you walk with the case. I yet have not been disappointed with this case. I hope this helps you.

It will feel slightly heavier, but not significantly. It does not cover any ports or holes for USB, charging or headphones whatsoever.

Not at all. It is very light. I'm sure it makes it a few ounces heavier but no more than that. The case is about 2 mm thick at the edges.

It's fairly close. Lighter weight material. I think someone familiar with apple products would see that it's different.
