I see that the receiver on the MBP appears to be blocked, (unlike in the Macbook Air). Does the IR remote control still work OK?

I see that the receiver on the MBP appears to be blocked, (unlike in the Macbook Air).

And I did the same with my 13" MB as well. The temperature never got hot enough that I needed to shutdown. I really do not worry about overheating much anymore. (For me @ least and our moderate Seattle weather), the i-volution case does a decent job of dissipating heat. Fredenka: Julie occasionally makes fun of me for wanting a case to protect every piece of tech equipment I own. Sometimes I agree, but the AR side of me continues to win the battle.... Stephen: To be honest, I am not sure. It would definitely cover the battery charge indicator. But I've looked at pictures and it most likely will work. I doubt Vaja would sell it as for '13" MBPro' if it did not fit perfectly. Robert: When I first started using the Leather Suit with my MBAir, I monitored its heat status often.

Your MacBook is protected, but its beautiful aluminum body is hidden behind the case. And the case will suffer from tear and wear unless you protect it with a sleeve. I only use a sleeve (be-ez la robe) for my MacBook, which will be obsolete in a few years anyway. I can’t see the rationale for such a case or any other form fitting case.
