MacBook Pro with Retina Display Case?

I recently purchased the new mid-2014 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and I wanted to buy a protective case in case of bumps, scratches, marks, etc. I bought the Tech21 Impact Snap Case, and I'm pretty sure it's making my computer overheat, as the keyboard and unibody feel much more warm to the touch when the case is on. Has anyone else experienced this problem with this particular case? Does anyone have recommendations for cases that protect the MacBook Pro but don't interfere with ventilation/cause it to overheat? Thanks so much!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), Tech21 Impact Snap Case

Have you checked the Speck smart-shell cases . But regarding the increasing heat they will not help as well. I know that MacBooks are designed as aluminum in order to give the heat out of the body, but the cases prevent it to some degree. They work as an insulating agent rather to help the heat get out. I would recommend to use a good carrying bag to protect your new device while travelling. Not much will happen while it is at your desk when you are using.
