6 Best Hardshell Cases for MacBook Pro
The Apple MacBook Pro is a beautiful, stylish device. And the ease with which he does most of the work is simply breathtaking. Come to think of it, this is the highlight of most Apple devices. However, this feat has a price. The Apple MacBook Pro is an expensive device, and you wouldn't want anything to happen to it, not even a noise or a scratch.
And this is where hardshell cases come into play.
These covers and shells not only protect the device in case of falls and accidental falls, but also help to keep the surface in perfect condition. And the good news is that the cases aren't expensive (compared to Mac prices), which means you can easily switch between different cases and covers when the situation demands.
So if you are thinking of investing in a hard case for your MacBook Pro, here are our best recommendations.
We have mentioned the variant under the name so that you can choose it more easily.
1. MOSISO hard case with plastic motif
Variant: MacBook Pro 16 "(2019)
If you want the original color of your MacBook pro to show through, you might want to take a look at the color of Mosiso's Crystal Clear cases. It combines the rigid shell with a keyboard shell. The first is hard plastic, which some critics say is fairly easy to put on. There are a few clips and you need to attach it to your Mac.
It works as expected, and the good thing is that it doesn't show fingerprint patterns as easily. In addition, the heat dissipation cutouts at the bottom ensure that the heat from the system drains.
However, when it comes to keyboard cover, it's not as robust as expected. Many reviewers have pointed out that it does not cover keyboards well and that it is a bit heavy to type with. If you're ready to ignore the keyboard cover, the Mosiso case is a good choice.
Aside from the crystal cases, there are several other color options, such as black, gray and frost.
2. ProCase rigid shell
Variant: MacBook Pro 13 "(2016-2019)
Another inexpensive case for the MacBook Pro is the ProCase Hard Case Shell. There are several cool prints to choose from. However, if you want to keep it minimal, you can opt for one with only one color. The installation process is simple, as is the adjustment.
Most importantly, the keyboard cover fits perfectly and does not move, as is the case with some of the covers. At the same time, it prevents dust particles and lint from entering.
The hard shell design provides some protection against drops and knocks.
Note that this should be your choice if you are looking for something temporary. If you want a durable case, unfortunately, this one isn't.
3. KECC Hard Shell 2-in-1 Kit
Variant: MacBook Pro 13 "(2016-2020), MacBook Pro 16" (2020-2019)
The KECC Hard Shell case is for you if you want to give your MacBook Pro a sophisticated look. Available in a ton of different shades and designs, these cases will surely enhance the look of your laptop by several folds. The outer layer of this case is coated with rubberized oil to give it a smooth finish. The keyboard cover also has the same impression. Cool, right?
And if you fear that the case hides the Apple logo, you can rest because it has a neat cut. The cover is strong enough to protect your laptop in case of drops and falls while protecting it from scratches and bumps.
This product has a 4.4 out of 5 star rating on Amazon, with around 69% of positive ratings. Users love it for the fancy prints that are as advertised. In addition, it is easy to assemble and you just have to put it in place.
While it retains the slim profile of your Mac, you can expect the total weight to increase slightly.

5. Ibenzer Hard Shell Case with keyboard cover
Variant: MacBook Pro 13 "(2016-2019)
Another great case that balances robustness with great textures is that of Ibenzer. What sets it apart from the rest is the mat top, which makes it easier to grip. At the same time, you will not have traces of ugly fingerprints or oily stains on it. The fit is snug and ventilated to allow air circulation. The cover is light and does not add much weight to the total weight of the laptop.
Like most covers, this one also comes with a color-coded keyboard cover to give your Mac an elegant look and help protect the keyboard from spills.
Most importantly, the rubberized feet prevent skidding. Overall, this case managed to garner 4.2 out of 5 stars.
6. Robust i-Blason case
Variant: MacBook Pro 16 "(2019)
If you do not trust the plastic covers above, it is time to present the i-Blason case. Designed for the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro, it is a sturdy case with rubberized shock absorbing edges and corners that are designed to absorb the impact of bumps and drops. And this is not the end of the story. The central part has a transparent cover, which lets the original color of your MacBook Pro (and the Apple logo) shine in all its splendor.
In addition, the heat dissipation methods ensure that the device in question retains its freshness.
The rugged i-Blason case has earned its share of rave reviews over the years, with users speaking highly of durability, ruggedness and ease of assembly. As in most cases, you need to set it up using clips and tabs.
Typical of most rugged cases, you will have to sacrifice the slim form factor of your laptop, as the case adds significant volume. But on the upside, you will feel very comfortable knowing that your premium laptop is in good hands.
Some users have described how this case protects their Macs from damage in the event of accidental impact.
Amplify looks
Of course, MacBook Pros are beautiful and you have to make sure they stay in perfect condition. And these cases protect it from the elements of nature while retaining the somewhat original aesthetic.
The only thing you need to make sure of is that your accessories fit perfectly even after you have assembled the case. For example, if you have the FlePow USB C hub, it can be a bit difficult to integrate it.
