Can it be used together with a hard shell case (like iPearl mcover)?

The case fits my Mac 11.6 perfectly. There isn't much room for anything bigger than that.

Yes, but that is about as much as will fit in. I have a red iPearl mcover on my Asus vivobook and in does fit quite snuggly into this case since the mcover is so thin anyway.

Probably not.I have a similiar laptop and purchased the hardshell but it didnt fit.

If it's an open-base case, then it should work. For best results, remove the case to dock.

I haven't used it with a hard case but when I use the MB air by itself and there is more than enough space left for a hard case.

If they are small shells, less than 1-1/2" I would say no. I like the case and it is good quality, however, I think very small items would get "lost".

I don't have shell on mine but have room left over that looks like it would accommodate a shell. I have the macbook pro 13 in with retina display

I can't tell you yes or no, but the case itself is quite small. I had trouble fitting all of my things in there, I don't know how I even got my motherboard in there.

Not sure how thick that hardshell is, but there's not a lot of space between the computer and the case. Adding anything to the computer might compromise the fit. It's a good fit for me with just the computer

Unfortunately not, there is not enough room between the top of the case and the motherboard.

yes, you can,I used mine that way for a while but I would suggest that you wrap the drive in some like a static bag if using a metal case.

Sadly no. It is not big enough for protective cases. The expansions are too tight.

Possibly. There is a piece that come off to use a most cases. I have a diztronic case and have no problems with it.

Yes, however I don't recommend using such a small motherboard in a case as big as this one (it's taller than the night stand in my bedroom). As it defeats the purpose of being a micro ATX motherboard. I used an XL-ATX motherboard and still have tons of room.

Yes, if the hardshell cover is like a Speck case, since the sleeve does also some flexibility being made of dense rubber foam.

Hi Marlene, what I can suggest is to look at the iPearl collection, or search iPearl hards hell case for 2008 MacBook. I know the have different hard shell styles for different Mac models. I hope I've been helpful.

even with a hardshell, i think that the gap between the air and the case itself will be pretty big. mind you, if you go around with a notebook or mouse pad, you can put them inside to fill between.

Probably not a good idea. The case is gorgeous as it is. You could perhaps buy an adapter that would accomplish what you want, but I just think it would spoil the appearance of the case.RLC
