Hey guys, it has been a long time since I have logged in. And during those past few months, I fell in love more and more with my TB bag and accessories. :)
But for all the MacBook Air or even MacBook Pro users out there, have any of you tried placing a hardshell case on your MBP/MBA and placed it on a TB cache? Does it add any bulk especially if I'm using a MBA? :) Any heat issues or anything like that? Thanks TB fans! :)
I am using a Speck shell on my MBA 11". No problems with heat. It just fits in the Cache - tightly and the computer does not slip in/out as easily but it can be used. The case adds another 1/2 lb or so to the overall weight. I have been using the combination for a few months. No problems as yet.
I have a Speck shell on my 15.4" MacBook Pro and haven't had any heat issues either. Just like rabergnc commented, it's a tight squeeze in the Cache. You need both hands to get it out, but the Cache has loosened a bit over time and it's gotten easier to slide in/out of the Cache. I've been using the combination for about a year. I use the Cache inside my Aeronaut when I travel.
I have Speck or InCase shells on 4 different Macbook' from an 11",2-13" and my 17" and there is no problem with any of the overheating at all.
I use them inside either Brain Cell,Waterfield Sleeve or Mac Truck and have never even seen a Cache but I do know if it slides in there it will be OK.
