This case is awesome! GO CLEAR! I got it to show off the chromebook. DO IT! You won't regret it. Do not get the other colors unless you want your laptop to look like a toy (just like a fellow reviewer said). I got a skin on it and LOOKS REALLY COOL! I'll help everyone out with some pictures because I don't find the seller's pictures very helpful.

As you can see there is a skin on the front cover. It's the Black 3M DI-NOC Carbon Fiber DINOC Flex Wrap CA-421 24"x12" right here on Amazon. I cut a piece of the carbon fiber wrap to match the size of the front cover, placed it on top and used an X-Acto knife and carefully cut. The side angle pictures show that all USB ports and connections are easily accessible. Nothing is blocked. The underside has ventilation holes for airflow, kick-on stands and 2 clear rubber feet installed to keep the chromebook steady while using. For extra precaution, I placed 2 pieces of black electrical tape to keep it more sturdy just to make sure.

My chromebook is the Acer C740 4GB and with the help from CoolStar from the chrultrabook sub reddit page, I got Windows 10 fully functional and working on my C740. Battery life is around the same performance like original stock with only ChromeOS. Anyways, I strongly recommend the clear case. GO FOR IT!

I have now bough two of these covers for my now 12-year-old son's 11.6" Acer Chromebook. The first cover lasted almost 2 years, and could have lasted longer"”the only thing wrong with it was a broken stay for one of the retractable feet, which meant that that foot would not stay closed and would eventually have broken off. Despite this, we bought another because the cover fit perfectly and protected the computer well; and I'm happy to say that the second cover fits just as well as the first. It's a shame that a foot lock broke, causing us to have to buy another, but my son likes the feet, and we think their engineering is reasonable for an inexpensive case like this. As a result, I can recommend this cover, with the warning that it probably will NOT offer real protection if the computer is dropped.

Cons: Will not protect against drops onto very hard surfaces like your drive way, Kool Aid spills, tantrums, size 12 shoes, cars or your teething puppy.

Pros:
Looks great, many colors to choose from, scratch protection, light, not bulky, no sharp edges, sticker friendly...teens Iove it! Bottom shell is well ventilated and has folding peg legs for a better typing angle The top shell has a smooth but grippy texture.

This "$20" hard case is intended to offer your dull looking, easily scratchable Chromebook a colorful change up and for the money, it's really a good buy. Spending any more defeats the economical price point of your gadget. If you're looking for a miracle against all the elements, this isn't the case for you.

This plastic cover fits my Acer C720 perfectly. The picture makes it look pinkish--in person, it is translucent red. I think the grayish undertone of the Chromebook in the photo makes the case look pinker than it really is.

There are no directions, but none were needed.

The case is pretty thin, which makes me think that it is mostly decorative and will only protect the exterior and sides from scratches and minor bumps. I also picked up a neoprene carrier that should provide additional protection for my Chromebook and make it easier to tote around. I use Otterbox products for my other portable electronic devices (iPad, iPod, cell phones), so it took me a minute to adjust my expectations. However, I do appreciate the fact that the little shell adds almost no weight to my Chromebook.

The "kickstand" is a nice touch--these little plastic fold-out legs raise the rear of the unit so it is a easier to type and view the monitor... the legs do not have foam or felt pads on them, but there are two little foam pads toward the front of the base that should keep the Chromebook from sliding around and scratching my table.

Pros: attractive, lightweight, easy (intuitive) installation, handy fold-out kickstand legs, protects device from minor scratches/bumps/dirt
Cons: protection seems to be primarily cosmetic--if I buy an additional Chromebook for my girls, I will need something a little more robust to protect it

I'm happy with this product. It fits my Acer C720 perfectly and provides a significant measure of protection from bumps to the device's plastic surfaces. The polycarbonate plastic the iPearl cover is made of is strong stuff--the same material that CDs are made of. Like a CD, while it won't shatter it can definitely be scratched. Better it than the surfaces it's protecting.

The bottom of the case looks like it will provide improved ventilation and heat dissipation when the C720 is in use and resting on a flat surface. Not that they produce anywhere near the heat that a laptop does, but improved ventilation is always a good thing.

One very minor complaint: It's not immediately obvious which are the front and back edges of the top shell. It's easy to snap it on backward, and a bit less easy to pop it back off to correct your error. A removable sticker identifying the edge that goes toward the hinges would have been helpful.
