Some MacBooks are so slight that you run the risk of throwing them out with the trash. But just because Apple’s laptop is thin, light, and covered in goes-with-everything aluminum doesn’t mean it doesn’t take some knocks in life. After all, it’s designed to travel.
How you protect your MacBook depends on where you’re taking it. A case or a sleeve can offer plenty of protection if you’re constantly jamming your computer into overhead bins on airplanes, but it’s also a convenient way to tote your laptop back and forth from writing sessions at the coffee shop.
Whatever kind of case you choose, you probably want it to show off your personal style or personality while it’s doing its job. There’s also price to consider since the range of MacBook cases and sleeves goes from less than the taxes you paid on the laptop to more than the price of it once you hit the designer stratosphere.
We’ve put together some of our top choices in MacBook cases and sleeves, many of which should work for the latest 13-inch MacBook Air. There are no-nonsense slim cases, distinguished-looking leather pouches, and rugged carry-alls among them. So browse through the gallery, and if you come across any great finds of your own in your shopping travels, tell us about them in the comments below.
