My favourite would be clear cases:
1) Incase Dots Hardshell
2) Uniq Claro
3) Some cheaper generic China transparent matte case

If you want sleeve, i like:
1) MOFT Laptop sleeve
2) Uniq Oslo (basically they copied MOFT's design)

For dongles, if you want nicer looking ones there is Satechi, or just get some cheaper Ugreen dongle.

I prefer bringing powerbanks instead of charger for MBPs when i'm out now that you can charge them via usb-c.
There is Ravpower 60w charger, or a bit bulkier & faster 100w powerbanks like Baseus 100w or Zendure Supertank Pro 100w

Don't use anything. Cases make it too bulky.

Hmm, question, some cases can get difficult to pop in, will these scratch the device in the long run?

I’ve used the cheap plastic case for my MacBook Pro 16” 2019 until now with no scratches. It’s not difficult to pop in, but it is quite a tight fit that snaps into place. No scratches whatsoever though. In fact I would have many more scratches without the case 😂

came with case from the first owner
ugreen USB-C 6-in-1 with usbC pass thru charging and 4K 60Hz most important accessory otherwise whatever also can't plug in if its not USB-C
65W Lenovo USB-C charger

other than that nothing much that's specific to the MBP
doesn't require extra care as compared to any other laptop but yours is 14" so need to check size, may not fit smaller backpacks so easily like 13" machines
u can add on a mechanical kb and mouse if desired

Hahah I'm surprised you still haven't gotten the case yet. It's not so bad if it is just left on your desk at home so far, but I wouldn't dare to carry it out without a case.
I'm always very careful and OCD with my gadgets, but that usually makes my gadgets more prone to accidents sweat.gif

No la haven’t, scratches are one thing. But the lid bends shits are entirely another bigger issue! So I’m scared of putting the case only end up with big issues like that!

I use a Uniq case and slapped a sticker on the palm rest as well. I’d say definitely get a case, it is more important than a palm rest as MacBook is prone to dents. I immediately got the case after noticing a very small dent at the corner despite being very careful with handling the notebook.

Screen protector is unnecessary imo. In fact I remember reading somewhere that a screen protector may cause MacBook screen to crack due to very tight space when you close the lid.

Okie i just collected my my UNIQ and put the case in. Hopefully it doesnt have any issues.....
At least my macbook does feel a bit more....tough? LOL.


Why doesn’t it feel like my MacBook is closing entirely now? There are clips on the bottom case that seem to be preventing it.
