Alright, so I wanted to give my MacBook a fresh, clean look. You know, like those fancy clear cases you see online? I figured, why not, let’s do it. I’m no tech wizard, but I like to tinker, so I documented my little adventure.
First things first, I gotta get a clear case. Ordered one online, nothing too fancy, just a simple, hard-shell clear case. I made sure to get the one that is specified to my MacBook model ’cause I ain’t about to make any costly mistakes. This took a bit of waiting, gotta love that online shopping anticipation, right?
The Grand Unboxing (and Cleaning)
Once the case arrived, It’s time for action!. I grabbed my MacBook and gave it a good wipe-down. I used a microfiber cloth, slightly damp, to get rid of any dust, fingerprints, and whatever else was clinging to it. I want this thing to be spotless before it goes into its new see-through home.
Putting on the Case
Now, the main event. The case came in two pieces, one for the top and one for the bottom. I started with the bottom piece. I carefully aligned it with my MacBook, making sure all the ports and vents were lined up correctly. It’s pretty straightforward; it just snaps on. I gave it a gentle press around the edges to make sure it was securely in place.
Then, I flipped the MacBook over and did the same with the top piece. Again, just line it up and snap it on. I made sure to press down firmly along all the edges, listening for those satisfying little clicks. It’s like putting together a very simple puzzle.
The Final Look & Feel
And there you have it! My MacBook, now sporting a sleek, clear case. It’s like giving it a new outfit. I like how you can still see the Apple logo and the original color of the laptop. It feels good too, adds a bit of grip, which is nice.
Things I Noticed:
- It’s a fingerprint magnet. Clear cases show everything, so I find myself wiping it down more often.
- Added Protection. Feels a bit more protected from scratches and minor bumps.
- Still Slim. It didn’t add much bulk, which is great. My MacBook still fits in my bag without any issues.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It was a simple, inexpensive way to give my MacBook a little makeover and some added protection. If you’re thinking about doing it, I say go for it! Just be prepared to clean it often if you’re a neat freak like me.
