I recently bought a MacBook pro m3 max 14' laptop and also a case. I was wondering if it's okay to use case shells with MacBook. Will it do any harm?
I put in the case and I realized there is very tiny(almost un-noticeable) gap cased by the case between my lid and laptop when I put it down.
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.1
MacBooks manufactured before 2011 faced challenges in heat dissipation. However, contemporary MacBook models have effectively addressed this issue. Additionally, if you visit an Apple retail store or browse Apple's website, you will find MacBook cases available for purchase. If they caused damage, they wouldn't be selling them.... The 'do not use MacBook cases' is a urban myth. Companies like Uniqfind and incase have been selling cases since 2015....

My concern is if the case blocks critical air intakes. 14-inch Macbook Pros have a similar to those shown for this 15-inch model:
If those are blocked, your new computer will have a very short life.
Do not use a case or skin. It may damage your computer. And heat is dissipated through the body of the computer as well as through the vents. A case will interfere with heat dissipation. Use a computer backpack or carrying case when traveling with your computer.
You already are seeing a problem, the gap.
Do not use cases, covers, or "skins" on a Mac. They will cause damage.
If it doesn't block those areas, is it okay to use it?
How good is it to use macbook case for a long term laptop health?
