Now, if I want an average sized shell on my 13" macbook pro w/ retina display to fit inside this case, should I buy this size or the one bigger?

Mine is for an Air and it's pretty snug, so you may want to go for the larger one.

I think it would fit. I don't have a shell on mine, but there is room to stick papers and small folders in the front or back of the laptop. There should be room side to side as well but may be a little snug with the shell. Hope this helps!

I use it for my 13" Pro Retina....and I like it but it is a little loose but fine. My guess is it would be a little loose on a Air...so if you don't mind the extra room it will be fine. If you want a snug fit, this is probably too big.

Hi The STM shell I bought is for the second version of the 15inch macbook pro retina which I bought in March 2013. It fits perfectly and is exceptional for this kind of case. Hope that helps.

I use it for my 13" macbook pro w/ retina and it does have a little wiggle room. There is about 1" of wiggle room from top to bottom and 3/4" of wiggle rooms on the side. If you are looking for it to be perfectly snug then it may feel a little big but It has been great for me.

I purchased the MBP 15" in January 2014, and I also purchased this shell. The case fits well. Definitely not loose. I've noticed that it's difficult to snap on but this seems typical of shell cases like this.

I have the ipearl mcover hardcase on a MacBook Air early 2014. Without the shell it is a good fit and with the ipearl shell it is a snug fit. Not a problem, I like it.

I think it might be a little big. It is by no means a snug fit with my 13" MacBook Pro with retina display.

I have a MacBook Pro 13 non-retina as well. Be advised that the Samsonite cover provides a very snug fit and adequate protection for my needs. I suspect that with a rubberized cover, your MacBook will be too bulky for the Samsonite sleeve.

I just bought my son the 13 inch MacBook Air and the Caselogic PAS-213 for college. The case is slightly larger but not by much. My son has used it for almost 3 months and is very happy with the cover. I had read some reviews before I bought the Caselogic cover and some people said it was too big. We have not found that to be the case. If you want a case fits perfectly with no extra room, then this might not be the right choice.

My daughter purchased another brand cover for my new (end 2012) macbook pro 13 inch (13.3 screen size) and it would not fit.I returned it and reordered the Kuzy -Retina 13- inch and it fits perfectly, easy install, and I am completely satisfied with the product.

If you are looking for a tight fitting "sleeve", this aint it. This is a big bag, NOT a sleeve, or anything "fits like a glove". Otherwise, your Retina MacBook Pro 13" (late 2013) will fit.

My MacBook Pro just fits. I love the case, but you'll have a couple of inches all around unless you are planning on packing the power cord with it.

I have the 13" Mac Air, when it arrived in the mail I had a rubberized shell on my Mac already. I tried to fit it with the shell still on and it did not go into the straps easily. It also has too much pressure on the seal for the screen to dim when I would try to shut it. But if I took it out of the two straps (located in the top two corners of the screen) then I could easily use it as a sleeve. So I guess it depends how thin the shell is and if it is rubberized but to have 2 cases on a Mac Air is hard to do because of how precise the closing mechanisms are designed.

This is for the 13 inch MacBook WITH retina display. If you don't have retina display you don't want this one! ( I made the mistake the first time and got the the wrong case.)

Hi thereSorry it took so long to respond. But I have the mac book pro model that is right before the release of the MBP with retina display. The case is for an older model of MBP then mine, however it still fits the shape of the 15''. There are somethings that are off, like the SD card reader is in a does not match up, which is the only thing that I notice. It fits the shape great, I am not worried of the case coming off at all. Over all I am very pleased with this product. I have been searching for this exact perforated case in black that fits the 15'' MBP and I am very happy that I found this one. I'm sure that it will fit the MBP 15'' Retina Display as well too. Hope this helps. Hi thereSorry it took so long to respond.

My son's 13 inch Macbook fits inside perfectly. The Macbook air might have it a little roomier. It is a great case.
