I LOVE IT, August 25, 2007 By Pallbear (Boston, MA USA)


I looked at about 8 different cooling stands all over the net until I narrowed it down to this one and something called the iLap, which was over 3 times more expensive than this one. My primary criteria for the stand was that it be able to be used while lying down flat on my back not just while sitting at a table/desk or upright on my lap. Another criteria was that it keep my clothing from getting hot from the laptop but that it not have to use one of my USB ports or electricity to power a fan like some of the cooling stands did. And lastly that it fit my 13.3" MacBook. Both Kensington and iLap fit all of this criteria. I ordered this one from Amazon and the iLap from the Apple Store. Both had near 5 star reviews.





The Kensington arrived about 3 days later and I began using it immediately. My primary worries turned out not to be issues when I opened the box and acutually was able to see the product. Those worries concerned two issues.

1. That the laptop would not really be cooler because it would touch the base of the stand which appeared to be a flat sheet of V shaped plastic. The unit actually has a large square hole on the top side to allow air to flow to the laptop base.

2. The laptop would slip around since there didn't seem to be anything to hold it in place (the iLap had a removable suede cushioned lip to hold the computer in place). Again this was unfounded because the same large square hole in the top side had a rubber (or rubber like anyway) ring all the way around it which holds the laptop in place. As a bonus it also fit my 15" Dell laptop. Both the 13.3" and the 15" laptops hang over the sides of the stand but that's not an issue. And the unit can easily be used while laying down in bed without raising the laptop too high or requiring me to place my hands at a weird uncomfortable angle in order to type or use the trackpad.





On the other hand the iLap arrived a day latter and was totally unusable. The removable suede cushion on the iLap required me to place my hands high above the laptop in a really awkward position in order to use the keyboard while lying down and using it without the cushion so I could position my hands comfortably resulted in the laptop not being stable and sliding all over the place. Additionally there was no opening in the iLap to allow air circulation although the stand was made out of aluminum with sand-blasted and silver anodized finish.



Bottom line I kept this Kensington stand (and I'm using it right now) and sent the iLap back for a refund.



I highly recommend this stand. And if it turns out not to be too durable as some have hypothesized and only lasts a year that will cost less than a nickel a day and I will just buy another one. However I don't believe this is going to happen.

Customer Review & Comment

Safe and Snug

February 12, 2008 , By T. Sharp - " I just bought this sleeve today for my HP 15.4" widescreen laptop. It fits perfectly snug, but it would be nicer if there was a little thicker foam padding between the layers. The cloth inside is soft and keeps my laptop free from scratches. If you're looking for a nice sleeve for general protection, I definitely recommend this product. The most common thing I can agree on is that the colors Belkin show onscreen differ from the actual product - I bought the black/green sleeve. The green looked like a nice, soft green, but was actually more of a lime green/borderline neon green. "

Almost exactly what I wanted

February 13, 2008 By L. Schoenberger "L" - " This product was almost exactly what I wanted. My roommate had ordered a sleeve for her laptop and persuaded me to get one too. I wanted something simple and clean looking which is why I was a little disappointed. The actual color doesn't match the one in the picture. The "white" color is really almost a beige or off-white. It almost looks like it's old or dirty. The inside minty color is great though. Also, the fit is a bit loose. I ordered the one fit exactly for my screen size and I wish it fit more snugly. Other than that, it's great. I got it in no time! Thanks! "

Great design, great performance!,

November 21, 2007 By Gift Card Customer "Photo nut" (Twin Cities, MN USA)

I'm so glad I bought this cover for my Macbook. It took, oh, about 10 seconds to snap into place, and has stayed on securely through several commutes, puttings-into-bags, and so on. The leather exterior is very soft and the suede lining will protect my Mac's surface from scratches and other damage. The vents on the back seem adequate to allow the computer to stay cool, even during extended use. One thing I did notice is that the leather exterior seems to "stick" to surfaces a bit (for instance, it doesn't slide out of my briefcase as easily as my naked laptop used to), but I've decided that this is actually an added benefit, since it means that the computer is less likely to slip out of my hands or off a slick surface. This is a great Mac accessory, especially for the price. I bought this item from antonline (through Amazon.com) and was very pleased with their service and reasonable shipping fees. All in all, a very good purchase!

Good Product - Should be a good alternative to Speck Macbook Cases!,

February 14, 2008 By Kasthuri Kannan (USA)

Before planning to buy this product I was thinking of getting a Speck Macbook case for my newly bought Macbook. I even went to the Apple store near my place and they had the red case which I was not interested to buy. I think that's a blessing in disguise. I ordered Macally Protection Shell for two reasons:

1. Its less expensive than Speck Macbook cases

2. I thought this would weigh less than the Speck

Although, I am not sure about the second point (I haven't had a chance to put on a Speck case on my Macbook and compare it), I am overall satisfied with Macally. The shipment arrived really fast and the fitting was perfect.It looked like custom made for my book. I like the overall appearance and they are well designed as all the slots are visible. I would have loved to see my apple shinning but one cannot ask for too much. I think overall its a good buy and could be a nice alternative to Speck cases.
