I decided to remove the case and consulted the very simple instructions yet again, and it was on correctly. The See-Thru also creaked when picked up or moved. Several of cut-outs were slightly out of alignment, including the security slot (which I use frequently) and the sleep light. Unfortunately, while using the See-Thru, more problems with the case became apparent. A small angle reduction is not a huge drawback.

Yes, the top case was indeed on correctly. Concerned that the installation was not as self-evident as it seemed, I took the top case off and consulted the instructions. Three sides of the See-Thru have cut-outs for access to ports and indicator lights.Īdditionally, there are special ventilation slits placed along the bottom to help prevent overheating.Īs soon as I assembled the See-Thru, I opened my MBP lid and noticed that the range of motion on the hinge was slightly limited due to the top and bottom pieces of the case rubbing together. The exterior finish on the polycarbonate case is glossy, yet fingerprint resistant. Once assembled, the See-Thru covers most of the external surfaces of the MBP. However, when attaching the bottom portion it is important to make sure that the rear hooks are firmly in place. On the bottom of the foam filling is a set of instructions on how to attach each piece to your laptop.īoth parts of the See-Thru are very easy to install. This visually appealing package not only evokes the user’s imagination on it’s use, but it is also easy to remove (I have a long term deep hatred for clamshell casing) and leaves behind a negligible about of waste. The 2 piece case is filled with a supportive foam core and shrink-wrapped. The See-Thru is wrapped in minimal packaging. I initially tested the clear version, but switched to the red tinted case because the clear version was so transparent that it was difficult to photograph.
