What about heat management? The macbook air tends to get hot sometimes. Does this case allow heat to escape?

The case I have keeps trapping heat. Sometimes, the heat does escape and sometimes it does not.

Yes, no problem. I have traveled extensively since having this on my MacBook Air and I have never had a problem.

Not me. My macbook gets a little hot when I'm watching a movie and have it on the charger at the same time but that's to be expected. Other than that, no overheating whatsoever

umm, i'm unsure because i don't have a MAC Air lol i have a macbook pro which is thicker. so idk it might be to big for your MAC. you might want to get something smaller. or this one in an air size. because its amazing and it feels so good to touch.

I have a Core i7 laptop which does heat up, there is a slight gap between the surface of the lapdesk and the laptop. It allows the heat to dissipate as there is air flow underneath.

I have not noticed any overheating and I've used my MacBook Pro for like 5 hours at a time in the case if not more.

No. Since I have never owned a Mac, I have tons of notes that I keep in the case to remind me "what to do..." I have always thought that a pocket should be there. I do love the case, though. It is lightweight and I keep the laptop in the case when I use it-never have to worry about it heating up-case absorbs it. It also has zippers on each side so I just use the one and I can keep it plugged in charging without any fuss.

I don't have an idea which region of Mac gets heated up. But I can say it should work, because the way that this cooler works is, it takes/absorbs the heat coming from the bottom of the laptop and does not allow the keyboard and laptop mouse region to become overheated. The laptop remains warm even if it was used for a long time and been busy with several things going on. Hope it works for you too.

I'm not sure about the macbook air, but it closes just fine for my macbook pro. The corners of the keys are rounded. Hope this helps.

it gets hot a little bit but is normal because is on 24/7. and the power supply is just one cord .doesn't have the square thing in the middle. like the power supply of macbook and other devices.

I have not had any overheating issues. Sometimes the thunderbolt cable gets warm, though.

The MacBook Air is so thin it might not have the necessary security slot built-in. Check to see if there's an accessory lock bracket sold by Apple or others for your model year. If so, you'll need that also. If you have the instructions that show where all the connectors are on the outside, look for the security slot.

It does, although the silicone keypad cover doesn't allow the MacBook Air to close properly...so that was annoying especially since that's what I really was looking forward to having..another thing, once you put the hard cover on the outside of the Mac book it's really hard to take off! I wanted to get under to clean it & couldn't get it off! Still haven't been able to I'm afraid I'll have to break the cover if I want to clean under it -__-

Without a definition as to why, I can tell you that on my HP laptop it does become very hot, but on my MacBook Air it is only warm to the touch. It may be because of the amount of data that it holds and since it uses the USB port as it's "electrical" connection as well, it will create some heat from that process. Plus, what I see on your picture, you are using a 64GB stick which is twice the data I am using. I have been using my for quite some time (4 months) and no problems at all, even popping back from PC to Mac.

Hey, Syndi: I've been using this case for about 2 1/2 years, no problems with wrist rubbing at all. During regular use of my MacBook Air, my hands don't touch the case at all. The only thing I'd like to see on this case is heavier "feet" on the back of the case, to prop the back end of the computer "up." The existing feet on my case are thin plastic. I'm careful with my computer, and even so, finally broke one of the feet. Otherwise, totally happy with this case and would buy it again. I get regular compliments in public about how nice the case looks.

Well Benji A. Aspherheim it does a little bit more than without the case but that is because all the heat is trapped and can not get out but i do recommend that you give it a space or room to let all the hot heat escape. I hope that answers your question. :)

No! It does not which makes it so nice! And also, the laptop doesn't heat up when you are charging it with the case on! :)
