The Hard Shell Case for Apple’s 15″ MacBook Pro Retina is not a typical hard case that mainly protects the skins of scratches and dent. Its design can also absorb shocks from drops, a little bit the same way cars are designed to fold on impact. While the case does add a bit of bulk to the laptop, this is something worth thinking about. The first samples will ship in September, and at this point this is a neck to neck race between Speck and Hard Candy, which may end up shipping first. The Hard Candy for Macbook Pro with Retina display case is available for pre-order in four colors: Black, Red, Blue and Lime – but no transparent/clear version. What do you think?
