Side by Side Comparison of: Kuzy vs Apple vs kwmobile

I love this case, and just purchased my second! I rarely write reviews, but the Kuzy case for my MacBook has exceeded my expectations. I'm one of those that doesn't keep their Apple products on a desk, but actually takes them out and abuses them -- and the Kuzy kept up.For the past 18 months my MacBook (with the Kuzy case on it!) has lived in my work bag along with a bunch of heavy books, my work laptop (a monster 7lb Dell), and whatever menagerie my kids thought I needed at work (Legos, keys, sand). I regularly walk over a mile with my work bag, and ride a train, both opportunities to grind the contents of my bag against my computer. Most cases would not have held up long or done a good job protecting my computer from this abuse. This Kuzy case, on the other hand, lasted 18 months before getting its first crack. I think it would have lasted even longer if my bag hadn't fallen from table height onto a hard floor.Needless to say, I was happy to purchase my second Kuzy case to replace the cracked one. When I took off the old case, I was surprised to find there wasn't a single scratch or dent in the aluminum. The Kuzy did it's job exceptionally well! I would rate it more than 5 stars if I could.PS - I admit the rubber feet did come off the original case at some point before the 18 months, and I opted to leave them off rather than attempt to glue them back on. However, I took a look at the rubber feet on the new case and they seemed to be affixed better.

I bought my Macbook Pro 13" laptop with retina display in the Spring of 2013 when I moved away to college. When I first got it I bought it was a very expensive Speck case that had been worn down over the years. That one cracked on the side, but nothing happened to my laptop which led me to buy the Kuzy case.At first it was a little difficult to install, but once I got both part on my laptop it stayed on and hasn't moved.To put it into perspective,I paid about $50 for my Speck case. Compared to my Kuzy which was half the price. I compared the materials and they seemed similar, the Speck version definitely wasn't $25 better.I like how the bottom of the laptop has vents. My laptop would heat up when I would use it a lot, nothing critical, but it was concerning. So far, I've used my laptop for about 4 hours straight today and I don't notice any heat from the laptop.Overall, I think that this laptop case will be very durable and it will last a long time. This Kuzy brand compared to my Speck case was half the price for the same, if not better, protection of my laptop. I wish I would have known about this when I first bought my laptop.

I love this cover! I like things that are light and non bulky and this does the job perfectly. I think if I have any problems later it'd probably be it getting dirty since it seems likely by the feel.

The case works great. It snapped on perfectly without any issues and it did not make the laptop bulky.

I was pretty skeptical about this before I bought it: it's so inexpensive, how could the quality be high? I gave it a chance anyway because, if it actually fit snugly and didn't bother me when using my MBP (13" Retina, late 2013), it would be a great protector against scratches and bumps.The first thing I was happy to observe when I received the Kuzy was that it was easy to remove from it's packaging. Took only a few seconds with no pain. And the product didn't fly out across the room when finally freed from its packaging, as has happened in a few cases...The second pleasure was the color. I chose "purple" which is really a deep but not dark purple. I'd call it a true purple. And the screen-displayed color is an accurate depiction. (I also ordered a Case Logic Sleeve with Retina Display for 13.3-Inch Laptops - Purple) for travel, and the two match colors perfectly. So this is an industry-standard purple.) You can probably expect similar results from Kuzy's other colors: they will be true to the screen display.The third delight was how perfectly and easily both pieces snapped into place when I put each part (top and bottom) onto my MBP. The only thought involved was which way was front and which was back: that was easy to figure out, and then each snapped firmly into place. There is no looseness, and there are no tight spots. It's a perfect fit. Snug, just like I had hoped. The top cover is full so it does cover the lit Apple, but it's transparent enough to allow the Apple to shine through plenty brightly, if not quite as sharply around the edges. In fact, despite being a rich color, it's even transparent enough to show the black vinyl sticker I put on the cover of my MBP a few months ago.The fourth product attribute I like is the feel of it. Now, my whole MBP is soft and grippable. Kind of like a smoother form of ultra thin rubber. It has feet on the bottom (that you do have to attach) that keep it from moving. But this material would also hold it in one place. It feels more secure in my hand when I pick it up than the MBP did without it. You could scratch it all day with your nails and it would never make your cringe.***What the Kuzy Has Suffered at My Hands***I've had it for 10 days or so and it has been tested by more than the typical movement from one workspace to another: it's been tested against coffee stains and breakfast crumbs. I used to have to wipe my MBP's cover at least once a week to clean off the fingerprints, crumbs and, yes, coffee marks from <gasp> putting my coffee cup right on top of the computer. Kuzy was also tested against life happening around my workspaces; like when the dog knocked the whole MBP onto the floor a few days ago from the height of a desk. I carry it from my main desk to a workspace near the sofa to a work-chair I love to use, and back again, all day every day. I'm an attorney (a nice one -- don't hate me!) / blogger / writer / future app designer who can't sit in one place for long.***How the Kuzy Has Performed under Such Conditions***The Kuzy holds up really well to daily mess. It doesn't show fingerprints like the MBP itself does. And coffee marks/crumbs come right off, unlike on the MBP, which sometimes required a real scrubbing. (I use Windex For Electronics Wipes for cleaning - they work well on screens and keyboards too.) The fall to the floor left the MBP unharmed. And the Kuzy's not showing any weak spots from all of the movement/fall it has undergone.I would not rely on it as my sole protector for every situation; it isn't cushioned. But that's not what you want! You don't want your MBP to be three inches thicker while you're using it. As I mentioned, I've purchased a Case Logic Sleeve) for travel. I wouldn't trust the Kuzy alone with movers or with the TSA. Notwithstanding its fall, I don't think it's made to provide any cushioning upon impact... more to protect against scratches, dirt and daily mess. And to look and feel awesome. I like it better than my vinyl sticker as a way to express a little personality.Highly recommended. You will love it. Don't pick a boring color because of work, go with the color your heart longs for (maybe not the absolute craziest color if you're a young investment banker)! Color can be a way to express yourself subtlely and a real mood pick-me-up!I wish for you every happiness, whatever you decide.

Before I begin, let me just stress that this (and other cases like this) are not necessarily made to protect your macbook from major drops or hits. It will primarily protects the nice aluminum finish from getting scratched up and provide a light to medium amount of structural protection from daily bumps, scratches and usage.That said, I have had two Speck cases that were double the price of this and both had the tabs snap off the back so they no longer had a snug tight fit.I would say the Kuzy is about the same quality although the packaging is much more simplistic (read non existent). The product arrived in a plain plastic cover, with some plastic cubes in between the two sections so as they would not crush against each other. The top piece had an additional peel of film to protect the finish. Even though simple packing, product came in perfect condition and was really very easy to snap on. Both sections were clean but i would still advice everyone to use a soft cloth and wipe the insides down.I would highly recommend this product. As I said before, half the price of a similar Speck case but same quality. The finish is fantastic. The royal blue is truly a matte satin royal blue. Once on the mac book, the combination of the blue semi transparent satin with the aluminum finish of the macbook really gives your laptop a glorious luxurious look. Absolutely gorgeous. Four firm rubber feet seem to be well placed and not the cheap kind that will just pull or fall off with regular use.The case does pick up finger prints and such, but as another reviewer pointed out, it really doesn't show up on the royal blue color unless the angle of lighting is perfect and I agree. Maybe other colors may be more susceptible to this problem.Final piece of advice would be to buy this along with your new mac book and place it on the macbook as soon as you peel off the protective plastic film that comes with the macbook that protects its finish. I'll update this review after a few months of use but so far I really like it.

I've owned two of these so far, and they're nice for the price. Expect to replace them at least once a year though, as the corners start to break eventually. I like the texture of them, helps the laptop be more grip-y both on tables and in your hands when you're carrying it, and doesn't seem to attract much lint or fuzz. It's only mildly protective, but I haven't had any issues yet, even though I admit it's slid off my bed a few times- this is the kind of case that's meant to go inside another case, and the positive in my mind is that it's thin enough that it won't keep your laptop from fitting inside anything that'll fit a naked macbook pro.

+ Protects well from scuffs and minor damage+ Fits nicely after initially putting it on the laptop+ The matte, hazy color (got white) is as shown (Apple symbol glows through and can be seen when unlit)• The texture is as expected, smooth, like touching the top of a logitech computer mouse or the grip of some umbrellas.- Black circles on bottom wear and begin falling off quickly (just over 3 weeks for me)- Tight fit on top at first- Edging can be uncomfortable to rest hands on while typingI waited a few weeks to write a review of this product to see if claims in many critical reviews are correct. To put it briefly, they are. The black circle grips on the bottom of the product are quickly showing wear with normal use and one came off about 5 minutes ago. That being said, the product is otherwise built well, encases the laptop (was a little tight getting the top on mine, but after working with it at first, have had no further problems), and protects it from light damage. There are no signs of cracking (as appear on some other cases by competitors). Overall, I would say its worth the small investment and I will continue to use it as a case.

I bought this right before I went off to college to help protect my MacBook. I purchased the aqua which is darker than the image posted of it but still great if you are a fan of blues. Within my first year at college, the bottom started cracking on the corners and along the side. This led to me just taking it off because I didn't want it scratching my Mac. The top is still being used but I didn't purchase any sort of replacement for the bottom. When I had both pieces, I noticed that they did have a very tight fit but at least I didn't have to worry about them popping off on accident. The worst part about not having the bottom now is that it provided great ventilation when I was running a bunch of programs and my computer was getting really hot. Also, the rubber pieces on the bottom don't stay attached very long (mine started coming off after a few months of use). Overall, not a bad product if you just want something that is somewhat inexpensive but I would recommend buying a sleeve if you don't want the bottom to crack.

This is the only case I have found that has guards for the back bottom corners of my Macbook Pro. I wanted a case that protects from little bumps and scratches as my computer is moved around a lot throughout the day. I have had this case for over a year and it has done an excellent job of protecting my Macbook. It fits perfect and snug and I love the Mint color.I do admit that after about a year, I need to finally replace my case due to pieces breaking off. However, for the price and protection this case has given, I still consider it an excellent investment. The case took all the battering and bumps instead of my valuable laptop. It's plastic so I never expected it to last forever, but it did a great job for quite a long time. I am currently looking to buy a new case and am definitely looking to Kuzy again.My only issue with this case was with the little rubber feet- they didn't last long at all. I had looked for replacements but never ended up purchasing anything. it would have been nice for those to have better adhesive. If I recall correctly, it was only a month or two before I was losing the rubber feet. I will likely pull out the Super Glue on my next case as soon as I see the feet loose in hopes of saving them.The material is smooth and soft to the touch, but it isn't slick, so I've never felt concerned that it would cause my computer to slip out of my hands.

The product is well made and it does what it supposed to do .. protect my Mac. The fit is perfect and it does not cover any of the ports or the mic. However, the color is not as sharp as they show in their picture. It is light rubber and light color, so after I dressed my Mac, the case looked more like charcoal or dark navy blue. The case collects finger prints just like any rubber cover but this is a property of the material, so that was expected. I still like this case very much because it is made to protect and it is doing just that.The only thing I don't like about this case is its sharp corners especially at the front right below the tracking pad and on both sides around the ports. I'm sure they can make this case better by making the corners smoother and more round .. no sharp edges.

I just got this case today, so I can't say how well it performs over time, but I'll give my initial impression of it. I ordered this case in mint green, and it is very true to color shown. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because previously I had a Speck case on my Macbook, and when I was putting this one on, I could feel a quality difference. The Speck cause silky to the touch and much thicker (without being chunky). This case has a kind of matte finish, which looks nice, but also seems like it will attract dirt. I think for the price, it is a good product.

The case is fine, a little bit rubberish and very foggy. I bought it originally so i could see a decal over the apple logo. I have had the case for about 5 months and each of the corners is cracked and one of the rubber bottom pieces is completely missing. I am not rough with my computer and it just slides in and out of my backpack. Not very long lasting and I'm going to need to buy a new one before the cracks worsen and start to make my computer susceptible to damage.

The case overall looks nice and fits well, but the rubberized coating has rubbed off the feet on the bottom after only one week's use. That said, the quality appears no worse than Speck, which is much more expensive. I think the moral of the story is these cases are all poor quality, but if they project the machine I suppose that's the point.

I've had on of these cases before. Lasted a little while before it got chipped. Make no mistake, I got this case simply for the color. It matches my taste well. If you want a better product that last longer and truly protects your MacBook, look elsewhere. But for colors and style, this is where you wanna be.

It was a good cover when I first bought it, despite the fact that it was tough to put on my laptop and it stayed lose after I did, but then it started getting too dirty. After a month or so, a piece just broke off from the bottom corner, it doesn't age too well I guess. Provides basic protection for a cheap price.

I have enjoyed the Kuzy cover as it fits well and protects my Imac from scratches and scrapes. Unfortunately it is thin plastic. So now about 8 months after I purchased it, it is cracking and breaking off. I lost the rubber foot pegs just a few months after purchase. So I would not buy this product again and will look for another to replace it.

I was so so so excited when I got this case. It's sleek and I LOVE that it is a hard case but has that nice rubberized-esque to it. That being said one of the bottom rubber place keepers has already fallen off. I'm so upset because I really did love this case but one of these shouldn't have already fallen off within a month of use.Was very excited but now pretty disappointed.

I'm on my 2nd Kuzy 13.3 Rubberized hard case for older MacBook within 2 years and the same thing happens every time. At first everything is great. Great snug fit, no issues until around the 5 to 6 month range. It begins with the corners chipping off or cracking and then the sides begin to crack as well. I am always super careful in terms of handling my laptop and it's placed in an extra soft shell carrying Plemo case even before it goes into my laptop bag. The cracking will always begin around the 5 to 6 months range and then expand from there. Ive called the customer service number and voiced my complaint there by leaving a message bc i didn't get anyone in person. Im hoping they can remedy this issue. I'm beginning to wonder if i have just bad luck or always receiving a lemon case at this point.

Update! After 3 mounths of normal use on the desk it start cracking itself! I loved it in the beggining but now looks like the laptop is broken.

This case is a little thicker than I would like, and also it has been starting to chip0 at the corners for a few months. Fit a little funky, too.

Broke/cracked within two months. Couldn't remove it without breaking it. I am moderately tough on my devices. I only take my laptop to and from school and my boyfriend's home 10 miles away each week.

I purchased this cover in Purple for my 13inch retina (MacBook Pro) and I loved the color and the fit very very much; as a matter of fact, I bought this item twice because of it. Once back in January of 2014, but after one year and half due to many cracks, lost rubber feet, and broken parts, I decided to reorder it agin in Sept of 2015 (same color of course) hoping this time it will last longer, however after one month of use all the four rubber feet have fallen off again and one of the corners has a large crack and one is broken off already, even though my MacBook Pro goes carefully from my desk to my lap, to my purse, to my work, and back again. It has never been dropped, handled roughly, or traveled. I feel this is waste of money if I need to repurchase a new cover every few month.

It is a very nice case. Unfortunately, the edge of the lower side broke after around one week of light and careful use. It is a shame, because i really wanted to use this case, but after this incident i dont see myself using it any more.

not

Sorry Kuzy, I‘ve had the same cover but in turquoise for the past two years and it was fine until the last months when it started to lose some corners. The black I recently bought has a crack on the bottom far left corner from beginning and it shows ugly usage marks after one week already. Next time I try different vendor. Next time I better try buying in a shop before there ar no shops no more !!!

This says it fits the 13.3 in macbook pro, but only the bottom piece fits correctly!! The top piece didn't even fit my mac!!!

It is a very bad product. the base is not stable, one of the four supports came off. I would not recommend this product at all.

i bought this case in Dec 2015. it only last for 5 months. The edge started to crack and falling apart.... I am searching for new case now!

The little rubber feet came off just as the reviews said. I tried to take the risk, but they came off within a month of having it. Now my laptop slides all over the place. Too bad I barely missed the 30 day return policy...
