I had read some reviews that discussed that the case did not fit. I was nervous to purchase the case but due to having my new MacBook Pro for only 5 days and already having a scratch on it I was desperate. I purchased the case because I felt it was very pretty. I did not know that it also came with a keyboard cover and a screen protector. I put the case on and I, like others, struggled with the bottom. It kept sliding off. I knew this was not how it was supposed to fit so I kept playing around with it. Finally I saw the very small tabs the hook on the back near the hinge. You have to hook them on first before hooking the tabs in the front. Once I did this it fit like a glove. I love the rubberized feel of the case and the fact it is transparent enough to see the Apple logo of the computer. I do not care for the keyboard cover. It fits perfect, I'm just picky about how things feel and the fact that its silicone is not something I find pleasant. I will say the screen protector is very nice. It fit perfect and has only a few very small air bubbles but I don't mind them since they are not noticeable at all when I am using my computer. Over all this is a perfect purchase. I will say this case is not something that is going to protect your computer if its dropped but If you are looking for something to keep your MacBook from getting scratched this is a perfect case.
I'll be honest, I was skeptical about this case. I was worried it was going to look cheap and likely pixelated so I was fully prepared to return it. Pleasantly surprised does not even begin to say how happy I am with this purchase! LOVE the case, it's classy, the flowers are very clear and the case is a touch on the transparent side so you can still see the Apple logo, which I like. This also came with a screen protector (a bonus since I really only wanted the case) - I'm not a pro at sticking the screen protector so the fingerprint in the corner is totally my own fault. The protector fit perfectly though and even has a little cutout for the camera. The other bonus was the keyboard cover...which I'm still trying to decide if I'm a fan of or not. The flower detail makes it a little difficult to see the keys (not a problem as long as you're familiar with your keyboard) and I've never used a keyboard protector in the past because I'm not crazy about the extra thickness of the silicone. The only reason I didn't let the keyboard cover affect my review is because I considered it another "bonus item" with the case. It also came with a 4 extra cushion pads for the bottom cover (nice because my last case lost all of its "feet" and would slip around everywhere). All in all, 10/10 would buy again even if it was just the case. It's a great value and, because of that, even if the case isn't terribly durable, I feel confident I'll get my money's worth out of it.
I placed this on my Mac Pro as soon as I got it in the mail. It is really cute. It snapped on easily and I think the top of my computer is protected. The bottom fits nicely too BUT I use a USB hub and, with the bottom cover on, my hub will not fit snugly to the computer and is useless. Without the hub, everything fits perfectly. I wish that side was cut out as I am sure others will experience a similar issue. ***update*** I was able to use a straight razor and cut out the portion of the bottom cover so I can use the USB hub. It works perfectly and I feel like my computer is completely protected. You can't tell that the portion near the hub was removed.
Review Update: 9-8-18
I really have enjoyed using this cover and the skin so far. The only small thing that I have noticed is there is a tiny bit of "give" with the bottom left side where I can feel it move back into place just a tad. I just checked the other side as well and it seems about the same. I would definitely buy this product again!

My initial review:
I just received this product yesterday and I wanted to write an initial review for anyone who is researching this product.
First, I chose the dandelion print with the black background. I have a 13" MacBook Pro (A1706). My cover fits well and the bottom and top are both secure. The quality of the cover is very nice with a smooth texture - not a hard plastic feel like the ones I have seen in local stores. The quality of the print is clear and crisp.
I will update my review as a little more time goes by. My other concern when researching which product to buy was that the case might scratch or damage my MBP. I followed the instructions to put it on (which is a no brainer) and I believe that with this type of design, I am hopeful that it will not cause any type of damage. I carefully removed the top portion as instructed just to check as well and everything looked fine.
Con- (possible)
The only con that I foresee with the design that I chose is that the black MAY wear over time so that you can see what I call "wear hotspots." In other words you may start to see discoloration in the areas where you consistently hold or open the laptop.
One last thing, the keyboard skin fits perfectly and I do not feel that it creates any issues whatsoever with the functionality of my typing.
Hope this helps someone who may be on the fence. :)
Got this to cover/protect my new MacBook Pro (new to me.). I love the design and how the keyboard cover matches. I do wish that the keyboard cover also covered the top row of keys (I know its so it works with the Touch Bar model.).
The keyboard cover fit is just a little off, leaving a bump at the bottom that I cannot get rid of, but I can deal. I wish the top cover had a spot for the apple to show through and the case was more translucent, but after searching for a design I loved, this hit the mark the best. *It came with stand stickers that I'm not quite sure what to do with. I'm also not adding the screen protector because I'm afraid of messing it up.

Super happy with my purchase; the case feels durable and protective. It did take me a second to snap on the bottom, but after some close inspection, I was able to pop everything in place with no problem. The keyboard cover is beautiful but not entirely transparent and the print quality isn't the best I've ever seen. Check out the customer pics — they are awesome and prepared me to deal with this. In person, I like it better than I thought I would. Do note that it will not cover your function keys if you have them.
Apparently, I didn't read the item description very closely, because the case also comes with a screen protector! (Taking a look now, it is even in the picture, but I was more interested in the other pieces.) That said, I might take it off: it is a bit too reflective for my taste, I can't get all of the air bubbles out, and I somehow got a crumb stuck underneath it. As shown in the picture, it's the kind with the two tabs: one is peeled to reveal a sticky surface, the other is peeled afterward to keep it all tidy. These stress me out in general (you get one shot; once in a lifetime — knees weak, palms are sweaty) and the first tab isn't in a place that makes it easy to line everything up. However, it is a very nice touch and they even included a little microfiber cloth. Super thoughtful, because you'll probably need it.
The case itself has an awesome powdery matte sort of feel to it and is slightly transparent to let the Apple logo show through. As noted before, it seems very sturdy and fits the laptop well. There are little white feet on the bottom case, of which an extra set is included. I don't anticipate needing them anytime soon but find their inclusion to be reassuring, a message that Mosiso expects me to use this case for a long time.
The case is gorgeous and fits nicely! It can be a little tricky to apply the screen protector, but I didn't have any problems. I suggest turning on your webcam and then it's much easier to line the screen protector up. The only problem I have with this is the keyboard cover. It doesn't fit too well and takes a little while to mold to the shape of the keys. Also, I've been using it for a couple weeks now and the color is already starting to fade on keys that I use regularly.
I really wanted to love this product and give it a 5 star review. The print is AMAZING. It really is a beautiful cover. My only real problem with is is the bottom portion is only attached on the front side which means that the back portion is a bit flimsy and doesn't hold that great. I do not plan to take my laptop out too, too much so I think that it will be okay, but I wish it had prongs on both the front and the back of the bottom portion.
UPDATE: There are clasps on the bottom portion, they just take a bit of maneuvering to click into place. But now that they are in place, this case is absolutely wonderful! No complaints from me!
This macbook cover is beautiful and fits perfectly against my laptop (pretty thin). The black is semi-translucent and the flowers look painted on beautifully. It comes with a cute keyboard cover that fits perfectly without any airbubbles against the keyboard. I didn't realize that it came with a screen protector as well. However, it is not of the greatest quality, it formed many air bubbles on my laptop screen and it took me a while to get 80% of them out. However, there are a few small air bubbles on there and the screen protector has some points in which it was pinched making it not a smooth protector unfortunately. Other than that, the laptop case is as expected and pretty!
