MacBooks are expensive devices, and you don't want to find yourself lumped with a huge replacement bill because you opted for a poor-quality case. How much should you pay?īeware ultra-cheap cases and sleeves, as these are likely made from inferior materials that won't keep much damage at bay. Each material will suit different people and different tastes, but it's good to know there is a lot of choice in this area. And some companies prefer clear plastic cases that let you see your device under its protection. Others use hard-shell plastic that can take a real battering. Some companies use a form of plastic topped by a fabric layer that not only looks great but also resists scratches. Both sleeves and cases have their pros and cons, and you can use both at the same time if you like by stowing a MacBook Pro with a case inside a sleeve. Apple has been giving me the run-around on the phone today with no one being able to answer such a simple question.
WARNING: This case is NOT compatible with other model laptops. In contrast, MacBook cases clip onto your laptop and offer protection whether you're using the device or not. Can anyone who already own a 2019 Mac Pro (rack version) please measure it I am not talking about the outer dimensions of the front plate (which is listed on Apples website) but the dimensions (height and width) of the case itself. The case is designed ONLY to be compatible with MacBook Pro 14 inch 2021 Release A2442 M1 Pro / M1 Max with Liquid Retina XDR Display & Touch ID. Like a bag, though, it doesn't affix to your laptop, and is mainly used to protect it in transit. A sleeve is essentially a soft pouch that protects your Mac from bumps and bruises. There are two main types of protective cover you can get for your Mac: a sleeve and a case. If you’d rather avoid obscuring your MacBook Pro while still keeping it safe and sound, Tech21’s Evo Clear should be right up your street. As well as that, it gives plenty of protection against bumps, while its rubber feet ensure it won’t go flying off your desk and crashing onto the floor. Clear MacBook Pro cases are cheap as chips, so why are we recommending this rather more expensive one? Because unlike so many clear cases, Tech21’s offering is UV-resistant, meaning it won’t go yellow after spending time in the sun.
