Hi!

Which case would you recommend for basic protection from drops for the MBA M1 model?
 
This is a good one.

That thing looks like a tank....

I'm also interested in finding a rugged option. Amazon only has a few reasonable choices... I'm leaning toward this one...


I'd really prefer UAG cases but they are SO overpriced... I don't know how they stay in business charging 2 times the average case price.

For lighter weight protection, consider a handmade leather sleeve. That's what I use. They are beautiful and functional.

Ohh some of those are really nice!

Another option for you OP, especially if you carry your laptop around a lot, is a backpack with a suspended laptop compartment in it. I think a lot of Crumplers have something like that, there's also GORUCK but they're a bit of a ripoff IMO. Having the suspended compartment should keep the laptop safe from drops while it's in transit without the added bulk/aesthetic of a case.
