Hard shell case for MacBook Pro 14 inch Just got the new MacBook Pro 2021 14 inch. Already set up. Now my concern is whether we should invest in hard shell case for this MacBook Pro. There are so many confusing statements online - one one hand it says we should not use hard shell case for MacBook Pro as it will increase the pressure on display , it will loosen the hinges, it will heat the laptop etc. I do have padded laptop bag for this MacBook Pro for travel . but you know sometimes you work in the different environments other than home and office where the laptop can get easily scratched so I do not know whether it is worth to buy hard shell case ? please update your recommendations Thanks NG

hard shell cases on Apple Mac I have recently bought a MacBook and was wondering if I put a hard shell case on the bottom and top if this will avoid my apple care- I have seen some videos of it causing damage to screens and wanted to check before going ahead. :)

I've never used one but Apple does sell several brands of hard cases in the Apple Store online and lists them as compatible in the Compatibility section of those listings. See the following for the MacBook Air 13" 2022 M2 model. There are also cases for some other models in the Apple Store online.
