The 9 Best MacBook Cases to Keep Your Laptop Looking Brand-New

Also available for the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro

This sharp-looking briefcase is a good pick for those who want a case with a handle on top for easy transport. It features a padded inner layer, which will keep their MacBook safe, snug, and free from damage.

The case — available in black, brown, blue, gray, and pink — is made from water-resistant polyester fabric and has a large side pocket for storing a tablet, some cables, or a notebook. It's also one of the few laptop cases that has shock-absorbing edges to protect laptops against drops.

There are few cases as unique as this one from Twelve South. It's made of real leather, and it resembles a hardcover book. The case not only protects MacBooks from thieves, but also against drops, dust, and spills. We prefer this Book-inspired case over Pad & Quill's Cartella Slim case because the latter leaves your ports exposed.

Details like its zipper that looks like a bookmark are what make this case so incredible. We loved that you can still use your Mac without removing it from the case, too, but dislike the distracting Twelve South “BookBook” logo on its interior.

Most hard-shell laptop cases are primarily made of plastic, but not this one from KECC. Instead, it has a leather-like material that has a nice feel to it and makes the MacBook a lot more grippy.

The case will help protect Apple notebooks from pesky fingerprints and scratches. We like that it doesn’t obstruct your laptop’s ports and has a lightweight design.

If the case’s solid-colored leather look doesn’t vibe with your sense of style or the personality of the person you’re gifting it to, KECC sells plenty of patterns and designs including woodgrain, marble, and crocodile skin textures.

The MOSISO case is one of the few budget-friendly MacBook cases that comes with a screen protector and matching keyboard cover to keep your MacBook Pro or Air in tip-top shape.

This Thule sling offers a padded sleeve for your computer, along with plenty of slots and compartments for essentials like notebooks, pens, chargers, and even your tablet. It'd make a great gift for those who could use a bag that fits more than just a laptop, with a nice plush, comfortable strap for carrying it on commutes or across campus.

The problem with most ultra durable cases is how bulky and heavy they make the MacBook, which, as you already know, was designed to be slim and sleek.

The PLYO case offers users a lightweight design while still featuring a shock-absorbing core that’s completely impact-resistant. In fact, it meets military drop-test standards.

We recommend this case to drop-prone users thanks to its rugged corners that are built for cushioning daily impacts. For some added peace of mind, it’s even backed by a lifetime warranty.

This luxurious sleeve by WOOLNUT already looks great, but what we love most about it is that it’s available in several different color options.

The accessory — which is compatible with every-sized MacBook — has a soft wool inner lining to protect your notebook from bumps and scratches. And since it’s made from genuine full-grain leather, it develops a unique patina over time.

The Compact Sleeve from Incase is the best option for those who want the slimmest most lightweight protection possible. The sleek cover will protect the notebook from scratches, bumps, and dust. It's also completely water-resistant.

Molded to fit your MacBook perfectly, the case is slim, not bulky — and its exterior offers plenty of grip, which makes it easy to carry. The protective case is made from 100% nylon with Ariaprene foam to help absorb impact. It comes in three attractive color options and has an exterior zipper pocket for small accessories.

This elegant laptop sleeve by tomtoc will keep your MacBook free of scratches and protected against spills without breaking the bank. Stylish and lightweight, the sleeve even has pockets for small essentials like your charging brick or wireless mouse.

There are several colors and patterns to choose from, and while this sleeve doesn’t offer as much storage space for accessories as our best overall pick, it’s more reasonably priced and will still keep your laptop in tip-top shape.
