4.0 out of 5 stars Solidly Made, Looks like an Apple product, ..wish it had room for a MacBook Pro shell, December 7, 2012

This review is from: Twelve South BookArc, Desktop Stand for MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro Retina (12-1224) (Personal Computers)
As other reviewers have done so well to note, this is solidly made, nice matching satin aluminum for your other Mac products.

It wasn't noted in the description on the product page, ...and I just wasn't sure (as no reviewer had noted) if it could accommodate a thin protective shell such as my Speck hard cover currently on my late 2012 Mac Book Pro 15 incher.

I'm sorry to say, it will not fit the wider rubber pocket made for my Mac Book Pro if any shell is on it.

I double checked the outside label on the product box and yes, it is the right one for my model.

Since I need the shell protection and removing the shell each time for temporary desktop use would be a pain, I regrettably had to return this to Amazon.

My Speck shell is pretty thin, but, it would not even begin to fit (and I tried the side, back and even the front cover edge face-down to be sure) in the wider rubber pocket that came with this stand (the smaller one included being narrower for the retina version).

This stand is certainly well worth it if you generally do not use a protective shell at all or use your laptop almost always in a desktop mode and thus need to remove the shell only now and then.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loose fit on the Retina., November 23, 2012

This is a great product. It's sturdy and well built. However, the MacBook Pro Retina insert is about two millimeters too wide resulting in the retina MacBook tilting slightly to one side. Also, the cable management loops on the undercarriage could be larger to accomodate more/larger cables.

A few minor tweaks and this product would be absolutely perfect. It gets my MacBook out of the way in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Great concept.

3.0 out of 5 stars Retina 15" Wobbles about., February 10, 2013

I bought this after upgrading to a new MacBook Pro Retina 15" from a MacBook Air. I used the Twelve South BookArc for the MacBook Air and and the fit was flawless (*****).

The trouble with the BookArc for the Retina MacBooks is that the laptops have varying thicknesses, so my 15" ends up fitting rather sloppily in the BookArc, it's vertical but very loose.

I would wait to buy this until they release a rubber gasket that is engineered correctly for the 15" MacBook Retina if that is your purpose for buying it.
