In preparation for upcoming travels I've been eying the selection of Speck cases for my 13" unibody, but have only experienced the Satin in person. I love the smooth, rubbery feel of it but - speaking as a blue girl - the colour selection doesn't win me over. The SeeThru selection, on the other hand, has an Aqua which could be an agreeable addition... Is it rubbery or hard rigid? Is it prone to scuffs or scratches? I'm half tempted to go with the graphite Satin and try some screenprinting on it. As for iPhone cases, I'm in love with (and on my second) SwitchEasy Colors case, which I've turned much of my friends family on to. I'll hook you up with a review in the next couple of days!

Kind of disappointing since they're a good firm, and firms branching out into the real world product design is always good. Stay away from Marware covers you get at the Apple store - more falling apart badness...grr. Laptop cover for me is <a href="http://www.gelaskins.com/" rel="nofollow">Gelaskins</a> - definitely more artistic than protective, but I love their designers. <a href="https://www.gelaskins.com/skins.php?SkinID=522&DeviceID=41&s=a&CategoryID=57" rel="nofollow">Looky, a red one!<a> :) Looks like you can upload your own design, too.
