Is it thick compared to the lightness of the macbook air? Will it weigh it down?

No it doesn't weigh it down. It's not that thick. I wanted to keep it scratch free.

Not at all. It is very light. I'm sure it makes it a few ounces heavier but no more than that. The case is about 2 mm thick at the edges.

It's fairly close. Lighter weight material. I think someone familiar with apple products would see that it's different.

This is the thinnest I saw but was looking at the pictures so it's hard to tell. My Kindle doesn't feel any heavier at all to the touch. Hope this helps!

I think that's a relative question. No, I wouldn't say it's heavy. This is my first ipad so I have no means of comparison, but the ipad is certainly heavier than the cover. I'd call the cover STURDY, but not heavy.

I wouldn't say the top cover is "too" heavy, although it does make the back tilt a little more than it will without the cover on. My Macbook was brand new when I put the cover on so it wasn't already loosened up, like an older one might be. It's never made the top flop back in an annoying way. Overall, I'm very happy with it. My 2 year old grandson managed to get hold of it and took the top off one day, splitting it a little bit in one corner in the process. I put it back on and it's been fine, even with the split. You can't even see it. For the price, it's definitely worth it. I wouldn't say the top cover is "too" heavy, although it does make the back tilt a little more than it will without the cover on.

I have the Sharkk keyboard case, and it is definitely lightweight. It's the iPad mini that creates the weight. The only thing that I would be cautious about is that when the iPad sits in the notch so as to look like a lapto, it's top heavy, the keyboard doesn't have enough weight to counterbalance the ipad

No it won't feel heavier and no it does not cover portals so they would be exposed in your bag.

The weight of the case is lightweight and does not make the screen closes by weight. The grip is quite good and recommend buying for your Mac.

Actually its pretty light. I carry mine around all the time and it isn't heavy at all!

Yes, at first it fit really snug. But after a few weeks it loosened up and now I can fit a very thin notebook in it along with the macbook air 15'

Although I installed it in the summer I don't remember it being heavy. In fact if my memory serves me I was surprised by how light it was.

It is very light. I've got a bunch of computer equipment on mine. It's strong but lightweight.

Hmm...that seems right... But that's not heavy at all....that weight is spread throughout the whole keyboard...the keyboard is pretty darn light actually.... VERY LIGHT AND THIN...

It weighs 5.5 lbs, its fairly heavy and bulky compared to the other laptops that I have owned(acer ultrabook and macbook pro). However, other than the bulky size and weight, it has been great.

Doesn't feel heavy at all. It's lighter than the last one I had, anyway, but I guess it depends on what you compare it to. I haven't weighed it myself or anything.

Very light even with the pretty pink case I bought fir it. I love mine. Possibly a pound.

It's heavy, but not unnecessarily so. If you want a laptop with the same internals as this one, you're not going to find anything much lighter.
