Review: Hands-on With Moshi's CODEX MacBook and MacBook Pro Laptop Cases

And when your MacBook's in use, you can flip the case upside down and sit your laptop feet down on four pads so it can be raised up adequately for ventilation. The cases also come with
In short, it's a good laptop case with no real defects that we can see. – Jason Chen
