Hello, some customers reported that this case blocks one of the microphone of a MacBook Air 2013 model. Have the problem been fixed yet?

Hi! I ordered this case for my 2013 MacBook Air last week (Sept. 16th) and the second microphone is not covered. There is now a hole to make sure both are useable.

All you have to do, is to raise the microphone to the upright-position, and it mutes-itself . And, if you have a later Mac O.S., it is totally compatible with a Mac, controllable by the "System Preferences":"Sound"-pane .

Unfortunately I am having the same issue with the cracking top left bracket, and I have NEVER removed my iPad since I got the case just 1 month ago. I tend to treat my technology very well so it's definitely a manufacturer defect. That being said, Logitech offered to ship me a new one for free so for now I won't complain. I'm hoping that maybe the next one won't have the same issue (although I'm pretty sure it will because the plastic seems to be a bit flimsy- a bigger or rubber bracket would likely have done a better job).

Yes... my charging port cover broke off. Also the microphone whole is deep so in some cases it muffles the sound.

I have the same issue and I agree that the company should provide an explanation or solution. I tried a magic eraser on it, and that did nothing. I've never seen anything that a magic eraser did not work on! I'm so disappointed because I love the case!

I honestly don't think this case will work for the newest MacBook Air 2013 model. It is cut specifically for the older 2013 model with only one mic input. I think this case would cover up at least one of the mics in the newer model.

Hi Maria! Unfortunately, these cases are ONLY for the Macbook PRO, not the AIR. I believe these are the cases you are looking for: http://www.amazon.com/The-Friendly-Swede-Basics-Semi-Transparent/dp/B00AQAI5V0 If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

Please take a look at the reviews for this product and for the related Fabricskin for iPad Air. The retaining clips are cracking for a large number of users, typically in the same sport right near the power button. It clearly *does* have a faulty mechanism, at least on units released so far. I am currently sending my Fabricskin in due to a crack in both clips - the left one cracked near the power button first, then a few weeks later the right one cracked as well.

No, there is a cushion that surrounds the hole where the jack should be placed at, and a barrier that surrounds the case so like most cases that you said won't work this one won't work either. You also have to push the jack through the cushion to insert the jack in the hole. It will also cause most headphones that have a mic or control system on it to not function properly or not function at all

Craig-did they solve your issue? My case arrived yesterday and the function key isn't working, wondering if I should scrap it and find a different brand/manufacturer.

DOES NOT! It covers one of the two microphones (pinhole on the left side). MacBook Air had only mono microphone before. The 2013 model has stereo and one of the pinholes is covered by the case!

Am uncertain. I now have a new case on my iPad and the AudioAmp 180 is useless to me as it can't fit with the case on!

The audio jack and 30-pin jacks are a little close. I had to use a new skinny Apple charge/sync cable with a standard audio patch that has an 8.5mm outer body. It is a tight fit as you can see in this photo: http://imgur.com/svmkqoA

Honestly I have not noticed, my Mac never seems to over heat. No matter how long or how much work I performUsing it. I believe the construction of the case still somehow allows sufficient air flow. However if it is a concern for you, perhaps search for another case, but from my experience I have had no problem or complaints with it!

My MacBook Air, has one hole for charger, one for usb cable and one for microphone, the top case doesn't cover these holes

Yes, I had the same problem with my Imac, my girls yanked the headphones out and broke the end off in the jack. I bought this and it works fine. You need to go to the preferences and set the audio out to this device, but so far it has worked fine.
