    No, there will not be any issues. I have that exact case. If you look at the picture in your link, you'll notice that the black plastic stops just before the expresscard slot. There is no plastic covering the portside, so it won't matter if theres a expresscard or an SD card slot.

    Odd... The ports seem to be in the same place, and so does the superdrive and even that little "press here to see your battery level" button...
    The only thing that seems out of place is the ports that seem to be a little bit closer together and end up taking less space.

    I wonder what doesn't fit there.

    They have a new version. Also to warn you, I have seen lots of people complaining how this case can scratch your macbook pro over use and if you don't constantly clean it and take it off. I am not so sure though.

    That was a good heads up keita, I had no idea that happened and now that I've searched a bit around, it seems its farily frequent!
    I sure as hell don't wan't to buy something to protect my MBP that ends up giving me more problems...

    Edit: I went snooping around some more, and it seems the scratching issue was with the older cases, and that the new satin doesn't attract nearly as much dust and thus much less prone to scratching. Seems like a much safer buy now!

    Same here Keita.
    In my case, I was going to order out of my countries apple.com store with a new mac, but didn't want to wait for the new ones to arrive (because I figure it'll take longer since its portugal) and wanted to know if there would be any issues using the 'old' case with the 'new' MBP.
    I even mailed their costumer support, and nothing :/
