Cool Bananas ‘ShockProof’ MacBook Case Review
At GearZap we always like to try new products ourselves. With our ever expanding range of MacBook Cases today we tried and tested the new Cool Bananas ‘ShockProof’ MacBook Case.
This case is part of a new range of Cool Bananas MacBook cases which have been very popular among netbook users. As the name suggests, this slip case is designed to protect your MacBook from knocks and bumps with its shock-absorbing memory foam core.
The first thing that strikes you when you pickup one of Cool Bananas ‘ShockProof’ cases is the material used in its construction. It’s called ‘low-resilience polyurethane’, which is another term for memory foam. This is ideal for protecting your MacBook because it’s incredibly light weight but provides excellent protection against shocks.
The image above is a great example of the memory foam used in this case. It slowly adjusts to the shape and contours of your MacBook forming a perfect fit around your laptop. I am using the New 13″ MacBook Unibody for this review and can confirm it is an excellent fit. However based on the internal dimensions it should also fit older MacBooks very nicely too.
In addition to the excellent ‘space age’ materials. The case features a double zipper with lip to prevent scratches to the MacBook. The outer ribbing around the edge of the case adds further strength and durability to it’s construction.
Pros
- Amazing ‘shockproof’ materials offer better protection than neoprene
- MacBook fits nicely and easily slides in and out of the case
- Slim case, does not make MacBook too bulky
- Excellent build quality and construction
- Choice of colours (Black, Sky Blue, Lime Green etc)
- Great Value
Cons
- No pocket for charger or accessories (see ‘shockproof bag’ as alternative)
