I agree with airfang,
These people don’t care if they break their macs. If they do – they will just go buy a new one… Also, they probably have the protection plan on their stuff, so any dents, scratches or other problems and they just send it back to apple…that is assuming they even own the same hardware long enough to inflict damage. Seriously, they probably get new stuff every 6 months – and if they are concerned about the money, they could just sell their old stuff on ebay to pay for the new one, because who doesn’t want the laptop that some hot chick sat in bed with?

Maybe it’s just me but if you’re going to spend over $2000.00 on a MacBook wouldn’t you want to protect it with a laptop case instead of loosely carrying it around in your hand? I have over $10,000.00 CDN in both my MacBook Pro and software installed so I know the importance of protecting my assets. That is why I bought protection products such as my Marware CEO Milano leather case. I don’t make millions likes these actors do but at least I know the importance and value of protecting my property.

I don’t find it too unlikely that they know Steve Jobs and/or own Apple stock and Steve has used his Mojo on them and convinced them to walk around occasionally showing off their Apple gear for increased publicity/cool factor.

Now, we wouldn’t have “Celebrity Mac Sightings” if they had a case. All we would have is a pic of drunken Lindsey Lohan calling her lawyer in her iPhone after another collision. If their Macs were in a case, we would say, “look at that loser. They probably have a crappy Dell in there and are ashamed to show the world how uncool they are.”

What with the freebies from Apple crap? This people are rich! They just want to show it off, part of the powerful Apple branding that never ceases to amaze me.

Because they would face plant before they let their computers come to harm. Duh!

Because some people actually aren’t careless with their mac and therefore have no need for a case?

Granted, maybe not these guys, but some people.

BTW, I hate all of the sarcasm found on the internet. These are probably not freebies and they probably actually do use them. These are (mostly) rich people and they are unlikely to use computers as status symbols when just about anyone can afford them.

“Most are carrying their â€˜logo-outâ€™â€¦a condition of getting freebies from Apple perhapsâ€¦”

If “most” equals half then I guess you are right.
