Hi,
I think the one thing I'm ALWAYS ALWAYS looking for when it comes to MacBooks is a good cover or case. Back in the day with earlier generations I used to go for silicon hard cases. I used to find them everywhere and they kept my laptops clean for years. I have a habit of cleaning my laptop once a week and when I remove the case once a week to clean it, it kept it in its pristine state.
Over the years; however, I noticed these silicon cases are not as popular. Now I mostly find the plastic ones. Many of them are really cheap and I already tried 2 models with my 2017/2018 new MacBooks and they are already breaking in edges. I'm a clean user so I don't move the laptop a lot or travel with it a lot but I feel I want something to protect it.
I finally decided maybe I don't need a cover altogether since it's usually on a table or a mount but then I watched a video and someone said they could easily get scratched from a wire or USB or HD. At the same time others say the hard shell cases add weight to the screen and will loosen the hinges of the laptop over time. I did notice my old laptops loosening up but that's probably because I've used them for a decade.
I'm really curious how do people protect their laptops? Do you only use a sleeve?
I've seen people at work that simply use a soft sleeve and keep their laptops free without a case but seeing scratches all over it annoys me.
Any suggestions, tips, ideas?
