How do you all protect your MacBook? Do you put case? Skins, screen protector or anything?

I've got a clear case, that's all

not using anything. got dent already but its ok coz its already 10 years old

dongles, gan chargers, 100w usb c cables, stands

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

who cares la.....break buy new one

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

Why do you need chargers and cables when they have already given you wor…

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

get a well known brand such as Spigen. the cut & fitting is precised.

So I should just go and collect the Uniq cases lah. Hahahah!

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

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!

Might be just that 1 unit, since there are many who have also bought & used that case I think it should be ok

Skin wrapping in HAO.

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.

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

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.

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?

Yeah got a slight gap la actually.

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.

Uniq clear cases is real good.
i have keyboard protector too, even though seems not recommended by Apple to

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


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.

Using this one and very happy with it:

its good but i have removed it. its not nice to type and use with the trackpad cause the edges keep cutting into the skin.

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

How much is it? Can easily a polish cloth at RM10 or less. Hahahah!

RRP is RM99, I got it for RM73
It is way overpriced for a piece of MF cloth with an Apple logo on it LOL

conversation piece... XD
