The Bubble Shell is hard-shell protective case for the newest MacBook 13-inch polycarbonate unibody. It's available in six colors: -- black, blue, red, pink, white and clear – and come complete with a molded-in bubble design. We took the red model -- which has such a deep hue it looks almost lickable -- for a spin.
The Bubble Shell is easy to install. It snaps on with little effort. In Katie's various trips to Starbucks, her classes, Mom's house, etc., it's stayed put. The polycarbonite shell seems very durable and not prone to scratching.
What's more, the model-specific cases offer complete access to all batteries and ports and are fully vented for total heat dissipation. Despite all this, the cases don't add much bulk to the MacBook.
Bubble Shells for MacBooks have a retail price of US$49.95. Additional models, including a ruggedized design, will be introduced in the coming months.
If you want a dependable case with some flash (well, lots of flash), you'll want to treat your laptop to this piece of Hard Candy.
