Poll: Do you skin or case your Macbook

[revenent]

I only skin the base of the laptop to prevent scratches.

I don't, but I've also never really owned my own MacBook Pro, I've always been issued a work laptop that we're free to use as a personal machine as well. Im looking at buying one soon and will probably just get a neoprene sleeve for travel.

I skin, I use dBrand or Slickwraps, mostly because I like the ability to get graphics I like.

I use Bestskinsever's clear matte skin, and it practically looks invisible (not that tacky gloss). Great company as well. Been my goto brand for all my Macbooks.

Looking to see everyones opinions on cases and or wraps/skins.

eew!

Skin - I use Decalgirl. Ignoring the name, they are great skins and I constantly get compliments. Only thing is I wish they offered bottom plate skins.

OK so I said how I don't skin previous posting. I ended up sending my iBlason rugged cover for it was too rugged and heavy. Then last week I got a slight scratch in the top cover, I know its there but very hard to see, certain lights and angels. So I decided to skin again. I went with who I used years back on a 13" MBA. Happy with the looks, I only purchased the top and bottom but they gave me the keyboard and sides as well. I chose not to put the one on the track pad because of feel.

So see my artistic add on to protect from small scratches.

I put my lap top inside a Case Computer Backpack and put the mac in a Lazdo water resistant sleeve inside the back pack. I always end of taking an extra HDD, several flash drives, a dvd burner, and several books, in addition to the cord. The MBP is just one of several things I need, and I'm even more than 40 years from being any kind of a student.

Thanks for these pics. This looks better than I was anticipating. I do really like the space gray finish though. I think I might go with the BSE matte skin. Do these kind of skins leave a nasty residue on the machine if/when you remove it?

Not at all. I removed one after a year of use because I was selling it and needed to show its true state.

It puts the lotion on its iCarbons, or else it gets the hosing again.

I have a clear shell case on mine. Last week I was taking my MacBook into another room and I hit one of the corners on a door frame. I'm pretty sure this has happened at least once before. The case did its job, and that's one less scratch or dent I won't have to photograph when I sell it.

i am using dbrand skins

 

[JTMacster]

Dbrand skins matte black top and bottom....titanium over touch pad.

 

[Rebibug]

Got a Dbrand skin for my SG 15"... Though I'd try that. Looks amazing and protects the bottom from scratches .

I just ordered one. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

 

[MushroomMan]

Case for me - my 15" moves around a lot and is slid into bags several times a day so I like the extra protection.

This case isn't the cheapest, but I am quite a fan of the fabric-on-plastic covering - although it will be more difficult to clean than a regular plastic one.

On my 2018 I went for a 'Best skin ever' so I can still see the space gray color.
