Which Uniq case are you using?
Got any issues or not with using the case? closing the lids lah or whatever?

Yes that’s the one I’m using for my MBA M1. It fits fine and can close with no gap.

The bottom case has some clips jutting out to hold the device in place, no?

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.

Hahah yes, having case makes it feel more solid which is good la. The Macbooks aluminium is so fragile like a freaking tofu, worse than iPhone. I've dropped my iPhone before and it survived without a dent. Macbooks however... even a slight knock on a table can give it a dent..

Yes it is normal, most cases will have clips which prevents the MB to completely close without any gaps. But as long as the gap is very small and is even. Not like this:

This dude is using the same as mine, but his is really bad while mine fits very nicely. So it should be a unit variance, could be the same with the Uniq Claro i saw.

Omg! It’s the gravity doing its trick! But then why is the MacBook so fragile to the point that it starts bending. Can’t it withstand a little bit of gravity?

Would be ok as long as I don’t close the lid. Hmmmm. Now I might need to waste the money and get rid of the hard case now. Urgh.

So far the incase case is good and seems to close properly
However noticed the keyboard imprint on screen often. Wondering if this is a normal thing? Its jostled around in the bus/MRT

It could be the fitting of the case being too tight and the clips pulling the lid back on both sides. I think that scenario like the link I posted was an extreme one. If you close your MBP with the Uniq case I'm sure it doesn't look like that?
There are many people who uses hard cases with no problems, but only a few unlucky ones had issues.

I think using screen protector or the silicon keyboard cover when closed causes more harm to the MacBooks sweat.gif

Which incase are you using? Mine doesn't have any imprints since there is still a tiny gap preventing the lid to be sealed fully due to the case clips.
Even without the case, MacBooks will still have a tiny gap between the screen and keyboard when the lid is closed.

I bought Apple's absurd Polishing Cloth LOL
Got it slightly cheaper during 6.6, but still a silly purchase for the price

It is way overpriced for a piece of MF cloth with an Apple logo on it LOL
