Eye-catching looks; problems with the feet

I love how my 15" MB Pro looks in this case. All black, with the Apple logo beaming through the translucent top shell is cool. However, it's not without its issues.

For one, the feet. The case has four circular pads that align with the feet of the MBP. And, they apparently pop out. I've lost one.

Not sure how it happened, and or how to get a replacement. If it involves buying another case, I'm not interested.

Second, scratch the case and it "bleeds" white, a very unwelcome contrast.

Not sure if I'd purchase another Speck. My experience has been mixed.

mine broke within a month. the two little clasps at the back of the lower portion broke off completely, not unexpected as they were tiny and extremely delicate. sending mine in to get replaced.

Owned several Speck covers for my MacBook Pro, No problems. But the Smart Shell breaks on the lower portion at rear. Speck replaced first one and the replacement broke within two days.

This product is less than a month old, how is it possible for the previous reviewer (Mike) to go through 3 cases within 6-8 weeks?

I been using my SmartShell case for a couple weeks now and so far I been happy with it. Sure the price could be lower, but I paid over $2000 for my 13 retina with warranty, etc. I wish these cases were available at launch but the quality, fit and slimmer size was well worth it.

Attractive but Flimsy

This case, although aesthetically quite nice, will not last more than a month or two. I've been through three of these cases and all crack along the sides within 6-8 weeks. I treat my laptop with great care so there is no reason for this to be happening. Don't get me wrong, the case itself is beautiful and if it didn't break so easily I would recommend it highly. The problem is that for 50 bucks I don't want to have to replace it six times a year.
