A while back I wrote about SpeckProducts MacBook Hard Case and how great it was. Well, I went on my first airplane trip with my MacBook and I’ve got to say, the hard case comes in handy. Since you have to take you computer out when going through airport screening, not worrying about TSA scratching it up on you is great. And, when you’re on the plane, you can easily close it and not worry about anyone spilling ice or drinks as they’re passed over you. One added bonus I found was, since I have a 17″ MacBook which takes up the entire seat tray, I could simply close it and put a drink on it and not worry about my MacBook. Water or soda easily wipes off and cleans up off of the hard case. Well worth the $50 if you don’t have one yet!
