Will a Speck case scratch my Macbook Pro?

I recently purchsed a MacBook Pro 13" without Retina. Despite what most people say, I am interested in purchasing a hard shell case for my macbook (i also have a soft case to lug it around in). Anyway, I started looking at Speck which is what Apple appoves of. Chances are I would purchase the most basic See Thru type, but I may go for the Satin one as well. The reviews are mixed, which scare me. I dont care about the case itself scratching, but my concern lies with whether or not the case will scratch my precious macbook. Any personal testimonies?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

More then likely if it gets dirt inside the case area. It will also cause it to get hotter because it will retain heat more then bare aluminum

Would it be better if I didn't put the bottom piece on the computer?

if you dont put bottom piece, so why do you want to spend $50 for that and still able to get scratch? just take care of your macbook carefully and clean your laptop every week.😉

I have a 13" MBP with a hardshell from Incase. I take off the bottom once in a while. I am conscience of where I put it down against, usually clean surfaces. When opening, no dirt or particles. I take a soft cloth and clean off any dust once a month. That's all you need. I have no scratches on by 2010 model and looks brand new.

I would recommend Speck of Incase hard shells.
