Speck Case for Macbook Pro Worth It?

I just ordered the black seethru mbp case and was wondering if any of you enjoy it as much the reviews say it. The real question i wanted to ask was since i always have it on my desk most of the time don't actually take it anywhere either, is the case still worth buying. it was only $30 on amazon. let me know because from what i'm reading it is. i just thought maybe i wasted $30 since i don't actually move it too often away from the desk lol


thanks

Yes, in my opinion you wasted $30. In the first place, the case doesn't offer any real protection against bumps and dings; all it prevents is superficial scratches. In the second place, if you don't transport your computer, it doesn't need protection against anything except spills on your desk, and the case won't help at all with those. And in the third place, the case will impair the machine's radiative cooling ability to some degree; that will be most noticeable if you use the MBP for gaming or other very demanding operations.
