Side by Side Comparison of: Lightning Power vs iBenzer

perfect fit

Works great.... I get compliments on it all of the time!

Love, Love, Love this case. Fits perfect and looks good, too!

I Loved my case!, Looks amazing and the texture is also great, it fit in well and no complains at all.

I was a little concerned by reading some of these reviews that the case wouldn't fit properly or the color wasn't a good ombré but I got the hot pink and it fits perfectly and you can clearly tell it is an ombré case! Very easy to put on and came earlier than I expected! Love it!

totally exceeded my expectations. I was just looking to replace an old case that had cracked, and what I got was purple velvet. For a hard case, it is incredibly soft to the touch, and a gorgeous shade of purple. have only had it a week so can't speak to durability, but so far, so very good.

I was buying a mac book cover for my mac book but i have never had any experience in buying a mac book cover because i was buying cover for my very first mac book ever owned. I didn't knew exactly if it would fit my mac book pro or not. My mac book is of Early 2010 version and it's model number is A1278 so i was looking covers by model number. But you know what you don't need model number you just need to know what screen size is your laptop and they got the covers that fits your laptop. I was so stupid that i asked my friend, " how do i look for covers on amazon and his reply was by model". I guess he didn't knew too a lot about it. But hey this review is for all those people who are unsure about searching covers. It is very easy just look the covers by your screen size and it would obviously fit bit your mac book.

This cover is really nice! The color wasn't quite what I expected but I still love it. I especially like the matte finish. It snaps on very easily and I haven't have any difficulty with it staying on. My charger still works great even with the case on. I feel like it really protects my mac book from dirt and scratchers. I definitely recommend this product to any mac book users. I just bought this case to replace an old one and like this one much better and the previous one lasted 5 years, I therefore predict this one will hold up even longer.

I am very happy I decided to go with this product. I recently had to replace my old macbook pro with a new one due to an incident with a cat, a large cup of ice water, and my laptop. Regardless, I decided to give ibenzer a try and I am very happy I did. The keyboard cover fits perfectly, instead of ones I have gotten in the past that have been too large and crinkled up. I love the way the case fits on the laptop with clips that help you slide and snap the case into perfect position. My new macbook looks very sleek with it's new cover, and I couldn't be happier. I have found that in the past my covers needed to be replaced about every year due to wear and tear and cracking. We will see if this happens with this brand as well, but even if it does I won't hesitate to replace it with another ibenzer product!

I had just ordered a new Mac and decided I wanted to protect the easily scratched case. I ordered this cover because my wife wanted blue. I didn't think too much about it. Under $20, I didn't expect much. Imagine my surprise when it came. It was well packaged and protected so as not to crack or scratch the plastic. The part was well molded, no rough edges and uniform in color. It was stiffer than I expected, but I found that was necessary when I installed it. Word to the wise, always install the pieces with the edge away from you, in normal computer use, or it won't snap in. At the end of the day, this is a great product at a great price. I'm going to start looking for other products from this company. I suspect I'm going to become a frequent client.

Awesome product; beautiful color; great quality; fits perfectly

I bought this case in the pink and I love it. I took one star off because on the bottom part of the case the back lip pieces break off easily. It doesn't effect the case but it is annoying. Other than that, this case is great and I will be ordering another one as a backup.

Love the colors and design. The clips that hold it on are a little temprememtal but it is overall a great case with a good fit.

I really like the case design. It is well crafted. The top and bottom pieces snap on easily and fit quite snug. The only downside is that only the top has the beautiful design on it. The bottom piece is solid black.

it does what it's required to do, it fits nice and I like the color. I just wish it was a little easier to clean as it gets fingerprints fast.But I don't think it makes the lap that much heavier.

I really like this case, it's beautiful, and fits well. The only complaints I have are 1) that it doesn't come with directions on how to put it on, I couldn't get the top cover on all the way, I could get either the top by the camera on and not the bottom, or vice versa. 2) I haven't dropped it and I haven't been hard on it, and the bottom cover has already cracked in the corner, almost all the way through.. Otherwise I really, thoroughly like it.

This case is a very good value. I take my computer from home to work and it has stood up to the abuse. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is the little cushions on the feet slide around and I had to re-glue them.

This is a great starter case for my Mac right now. Since I'm not doing a lot of traveling with it this is enough coverage for the time being. However I am defiantly looking for something stronger. The color is exactly the same as the picture and it didn't break when I laced it on my computer. It's a reasonable price it and I've gotten some compliments on it as well. I can say that the plastic keyboard cover is sometimes annoying. It feels like you're not touching down on the keys hard enough and the spacebar part doesn't stay completely down. That's really minor because everything else is working great.

I purchased the Green color with the plastic outer shell and keyboard cover for my MacbookPro 13 inch Retina. I've had it for about a week now, and can say that I like the purchase. The outer cover is beautiful. It is not bright green like the keyboard, but rather a very lovely shade of semitransparent sea foam green. The keyboard is a brighter green, and not in my taste but I am living with it. The keyboard cover makes typing very different on my computer, and I imagine that other people would be annoyed by it. I deal with it because I want to keep dust, dirt, and everyday grim off the keyboard. It is definitely not as smooth with the keyboard cover on, but really.... would it be any different with another brand? I am not sure but I imagine keyboard covers are all pretty similar. I have not yet experienced the "bubbling" of the space bar, but I will update this post later if it does. I suppose I am not giving this item a five star rating because: 1- the keyboard cover is a pretty unattractive bright green and 2 - the hard plastic covers do not seem to be 100% true fit. They seem to keep grim off my computer, so it serves it's purpose but it does seem like I can take them off without much effort.

Irritates my arms a little because there's two clips right where I would normally rest my forearms, however, this may not be an issue for you!
It's a very mild annoyance that's easily avoided.

This case is smooth to the touch, fits my 2011 macbook pro perfectly.
The entire case clicks on and removes easily enough, and it's surprisingly solid, which is a huge plus for me.
My decals/stickers show through it great(it isn't CRYSTAL clear, it's slightly...fogged? but it's still clear enough to see through)

The keyboard cover isn't great, but it works for my needs. Luckily for you it's entirely optional.
It'll slow you down initially but I've become accustomed to it. I have lots of animals and I need it to protect from hair clogging up my keys

The top cover and the keyboard cover are both great!! They fit perfectly and stay on very nicely. I got the one with the writing on it and it's adorable. But keep in mind that the one with writing does cover the Apple symbol so if you want to see it then that one would not be the best for you. It is also very light weight and thin so it doesn't add too much to your laptop. The only issue I have is that after using the bottom cover for the day the hooks that attach to the front of the laptop are hard and they irritated my arms. Anytime I was typing or resting my wrists on my laptop, the edges of the bottom cover would leave marks or rub my arms. I decided to just use the top cover which I'm sure defeats the purpose for protection purposes but it was just too annoying.

If my opinion means anything then i have to say that this case is truly amazing and delivers on it's own name.The only drawback i disliked was i noticed a chip on the corner of the plastic case and i wasnt sure if that was with hiw many times i use my laptop a day so it could be my fault but if it isn't then be careful on how many time you will open and close your laptop.Another downside is i kept the case on for SO long and i took it off and noticed that there was a LOT of firt and grime beneath the bottom portion of the case.Luckily that didn't affect my laptop at all.I just wiped the dirt and grime off of the laptop and case but it's still good to be cautious and always clean it daily otherwise that dirt and grime that is collected will build into your laptop harming it.Other than those two things,the case is absolutely perfect for someone looking to show style and protect their laptop.Just be careful how many time you use it and always take off the case and clean it daily to prevent future problems

I purchased this cover back in May 2017, only 2 months later the little rubber foots fell off and the film covering the protector is peeling off.

good case but hardback cases apparently weaken the open and close hinge on your laptop says an apple store employee.

Not bad, but stains easily.

Nice color and okay quality for the top part. Bottom cover was broken at the corners after about 3 months. It was too late to return then for a refund...

It didn't fit my MacBook Air correctly. Every time I opened my laptop, the bottom portion would move forward. The feeling of it was kinda rough. I expected it to be smoother. The seller was quick to give a refund.

I was slightly disappointed because it's expected it to be "ombre" and actually fade to white as it is in the picture, but it didn't. It was mostly turquoise.

I mean this case is alright. Its exactly what it looks like, a cheap case, and that's what I wanted. I'm kind of rough with some things, and my laptop was no exclusion apparently. I got this case at the beginning of the school year, and it lasted the majority of the year. In the end there were chips on every corner of the case (the bottom was hurt the worst, the top was rather unscathed). The rubber pads on the bottom fall off easily, and the keyboard cover is very nice to keep stuff out of your keyboard, but it stretches easily through wear, and it never did fit quite right. I did end up getting another one of these types of cases because all I wanted was a cheap case to protect my laptop, and I love these keyboard covers nonetheless. So I would recommend this if you're like me and are looking just for a cheap plastic case to protect your laptop.

This case is a good value--particularly since it comes with the keyboard cover. I purchased the teal color and was pleased that it was true to the picture. However I did notice that my laptop overheated frequently with this case on it. It was not to the point of shutting down but it did cause the fan to become very loud. This case did a nice job of protecting my computer but it also cracked on the edge from what I would imagine was the repetitive stress of putting it in and pulling it out of my backpack. It did prevent scratches and it looked just like the expensive ones Apple sold in the store for a fraction of the price.

I ordered the turquoise for my 13" MacBook Pro without Retina display and it fit really well. The keyboard cover also matched case pretty closely. Although it looks really nice, they only last me about 1 semester. The bottom corners of the case always crack and break off. I've gone through 2 or 3 now, even though I take really good care of my laptop and keep it in a padded compartment in my backpack. I would recommend this case if you're looking for something scratch resistant, nothing more. The bottom of the case has little foam pads that keep it from sliding around, which are useful but kind of cheap looking. (The picture showing the foam pads on the bottom is more true to what the color of it actually looks like in person).

Looks nice but it's starting to crack in places and I've never dropped it.

Edit: I spilled water on the table my laptop was on and when I took the bottom cover off to dry off the laptop it cracked so bad it wouldn't stay on the laptop anymore. But my laptop was not water damaged and had just a few drops on the bottom so I ordered the marble pattern and it looks very nice. I was a little worried it would look cheap but it doesn't. The first one lasted a little over a year. For $13 that's not bad at all. It didn't scratch it when I took it off either.

I honestly wanted to give this product a higher rating, but I was disappointed when I realized that my case cracked on the corners of the cover. The case that I ordered was for my MacBook Pro 13" w/o the retina display. The case was perfect for about a week and a half, and then suddenly, one day I noticed that the corners on the base of the computer had cracks. I found this odd as I do not transport the computer anywhere and it sits on a level desk.
The keyboard cover is great. I find that I can still type pretty fast without any difficulty and it certainly does its job. The product is a good product, I just wish it were more durable.

broke within 6 months

I was so excited to get this case! It was very cute at first but handling it caused it to get smudges all over it. Now it looks like there are always drops of oil over it.. Kinda disappointing.

Color is more pink than purple

It's not a very good fit on the computer. The one purchased at the apple store was more expensive but had a better fit.

Did not fit well. Very attractive and pretty.

It was nice enough when it wasa first put on but after a couple of hours with CLEAN HANDS the fingerprints and other marks on the case were horrible. It looked very ugly with less than a day of use and just carrying the laptop between rooms. This is getting returned.

Review 9 months after use: Unfortunately, this laptop case did not last as long as I anticipated. It suddenly began breaking apart -- the edges started cracking and pieces of plastic came off. I do not use my laptop often at all, so I am not sure if this would have happened if it would have happened sooner. There was no impact to cause the break.

Review on Arrival: Fits computer well and it is sturdy. I did notice that it made my computer a bit heavier than I anticipated but that probably means it will offer it a good deal of protection.

It lasted exactly 4 months before it cracked across the top just from daily use, not a drop or anything. The feet have also come off of the bottom, and heaven help you if you decide to write on a paper while your computer is closed and you need a hard surface -- guess what gets scratched into the top? Every word.

The keyboard cover never fit and was pretty flimsy. Overall, I'd say this wasn't even worth what I paid for it. Kind of frustrating.

It fits my MacBook like it should. However since it doesn't actually lay flat on the lid the apple logo is blurry looking. I pressed it up against the laptop and it looked normal so I know it's not sitting flat on the surface. The area where your wrists lay while typing is a bit rough too. I'm also not a fan of the keyboard cover. It's hard to type with, but that's just personal preference. What I DO love is the matte finish, HOWEVER it scratches easy and oily hands will ruin it. :(

UPDATE: I had to return it the same day I got it. After trying to type an essay my wrists were sore because the edges are so ROUGH.

Bottom piece never fit right from the beginning. I bought this in August and by December the corners had broken off of the bottom cover. I finally threw away the bottom piece in March. Top piece fits fine. The keyboard cover is very wavy and doesn't fit the best but does what it's supposed to . The "e" paint is coming off but no other letters.

This case and these sellers are fantastic. I had a fit issue with the first one I bought and they very kindly sent me a free replacement and it fits perfectly. Thank you for such caring and wonderful customer service and a great product.

To update my past review, the seller was fantastic and sent me a new one, but within a couple of months the case cracked on the right side and a large piece on the corner just fell off. I am very gentle with my computer and store it safely/never rough with it, and so I am very disappointed that this isn't working again.. I figured it wasn't that big of a deal until tonight when unexpectedly another piece broke off. I love the color and the case and the seller's were awesome, I just wish the fit on the bottom section of the case really matched the laptop. :/

Noteworthy- the top of the case fits perfectly and I have never had a problem.

Make sure you like the color or get hit with a 50% restocking fee

Cheap

Love the color, just doesn't fit right

Not what expected. It does not fit the MacBook Air. The cover completely covers the apple on the top of the laptop. It's not like the picture as the picture shows the apple. Very disappointed in this item.

Broke after 2 months. Corner cracked

The case was fine but the 4 rubber grips on the bottom fell off within a month. I went and purchased a Kuzy which is what I should have done the first time.

I was excited to receive the cover to replace my dirty, old cover. This cover seem to fit my macbook pro 13" with CD late 2011. Upon inspection, before I put the cover on, it appears to be made very cheap. The front edge looks like it was cut by hand and almost had a jagged like appearance and feel to it. The back two tabs that snaps to the bottom part by the hing of the laptop looked broken. One of the tabs just snapped off and I did't even attempt to put it on all the way. I ordered the gold case, and it came looking like someone took a clear version of the product and spray painted it with a can of paint. It was very sloppy. Even the bottom feet protectors where spray painted. This product was too good to be true. The reviews do not reflect the quality of the product. Save your time and money and find another case. I should have went with my gut that the price on this item would result in a very cheap product. Usually amazon ratings and reviews are spot on, this was a huge disappointment. Fortunately, amazon is refunding me the money spent on this defective item.

For reference, I purchased my previous cover back in 2012 for $16 and it is still in excellent condition considering that I beat it up around campus for undergrad. The reason I wanted a new product was because my current one is a little dirty and my new office is decorated with gold accents. I will be looking for a better quality case.

I received a clear case for my MacBook six months ago during Christmas from my parents to keep my computer safe while at college. The bottom was flimsy and broke beyond repair so they offered to purchase a replacement case since I only received six months out of the first one. So I ordered this one. However the only part of this case I used was the bottom, since the top from my other case was still decent. I've had this case on my Mac for about a month and it is HORRIBLE. It didn't fit completely on my computer, the sides towards the front had massive cracks on them, and a large chunk of the case broke off within 2 weeks near the disk drive. I couldn't believe how terrible this case was compared to the first one I got! I'm filing a return with Amazon because this is ridiculous.

Please note I've had this since May, as a college student who normally would take her computer everywhere, I'm on break. So the only traveling my computer does is back and forth between my father's house and my mother's house. I always keep it inside a padded case (since I don't have another $2000 to replace it) and never toss it around. I don't know how the case fell apart so bad, but I chalk it up to poor manufacturing.

At first I loved this case for it had a slick gold color and slim, but fine fit for the case. After opening it I noticed an infinite deep scratch and another deep uneven scratch on the front where you would open the top case. It was kind of difficult to put on as well, for the case was too tight of a fit and the scratch gave the case a bend uneven shaped look. My experience was bad, but this might have been just one of those "bad one in the bunch", type of ordeal.

I liked this skin a lot at first, but it starts to show oily finger prints on it. You can't wash them off and it looks really nasty after awhile. My daughter got a clear one and it is doing the same thing. She also hates hers. I love that it protects my computer, but the finger prints look really bad and I've only had it 2 1/2 months. I wish that they would make something that didn't stain.

I like the soft, slightly rubbery feel of the case. You have to press down really hard to make sure all the "teeth" clip onto your laptop, but once the cover and bottom are clipped on, it feels nice and secure.

October 15, 2016 UPDATE: Changed my mind about this product. This case does not stand up to even gentle wear and tear. In less than a year, the various "teeth" that are supposed to keep this case clipped onto my laptop have broken off. I do not carry my laptop around, nor do I stick it in backpacks. It's kept at home on my desk, so the fact that this case has already fallen apart goes to show how poor the construction/quality is. I would not buy from iBenzer again.
