Its dual-zipper design means it covers all of your MacBook Pro while you've got it closed, but it's also made so that you can keep the MacBook Pro inside the case when you're using it as a laptop. If you prioritize protecting your investment and don't care if your case looks a little drab, the Thule Gauntlet sleeve is a good pick. One more thing: since the MacBook Pros from 2015 and earlier have such a different design, don't buy one of the cases below (except for the briefcase bag) and expect a proper fit if you have a machine that’s five years or older. We're also recommending a variety of designs - from protective snap-on shells to folios and sleeves that you simply store your MacBook in. Our list consists of protective cases for some of the best MacBooks of all sizes, with the current 13 and 16-inch sizes, as well as the 15-inch if you're protecting an investment you already made. To help you out, we've rounded up the best MacBook Pro cases we could find.

As such these cases are essential for premium laptops. A sturdy case with enough durability can protect against all of those scenarios, but they can even defend your laptop against unexpected falls.

Without a protective case, bag or sleeve, your MacBook Pro is susceptible to all manner of calamities, including getting scratched, or even worse, drowning in spilled liquids or covered in crumbs.
