    Are you into cases for tech? Andar has partly swayed me this time around. But how long will these three cases stay on my stuff?

    I think anyone is silly not to put cases on their phones and laptops. One drop with a phone- screen replacement (instant regret). Laptops, especially MacBooks- cases keep the body in like-new condition, meaning resale value will be even higher. Unless it never leaves the house, I think it's a no-brainer.

    Thanks for another down to earth, honest review. I just got a skin for my MBP13 so am not in the market, but the thought of that nice new leather is tempting for sure. Keep the videos coming :-)

    I'm an iPad only user, and I use it with a Spigen case very similar top this one, the top is leather and the back is translucent, I like it so much because it protects the iPad and I feel very secure using the iPad on it, and the case have protected from vary scratches... I have the case for the AirPods Pro in red color, it's very good and feels premium. I'm not a MacBook user anymore, but my wife has a similar case on her and looks and feels like a fat windows laptop!

    I think for MacBooks better get some thin plastic cases with vents, the goal is prevent dents and scratches, leather cases will keep the heat inside.

    They have all the air vents completely open with their leather cases. The new M1 Macbook Air doesnt even need a fan like the iPads. I don’t think heat will be an issue at all with the M1 laptops.

    #markellisreviews They look smart. I bet they make the items they cover easier to "grip". Mark, regarding the MBA case, it's a good way to keep it looking "new" and if and when you end up selling it for a replacement, that can't be a bad thing.

    Totally agree on the MBA thing, Phil! And yeah, they do make them far easier to grip and more rugged overall.

    I'd like that black leather case even more once it's achieved a bit of natural wear. Not sure if it's worth replacing my (already nice-looking) smoky-black hard case at 5-6X the cost. If carried around in an office setting I think it would be perfect and attract many compliments.

    I think the AirPod cases are adorable. I just subscribed to the channel so that gives me the right for a request. Can you also convert from British Pounds to American Dollars 💵? I’m one American that doesn’t like to convert things. Shocking right?

    Didn’t keep it in long enough to check that, but the M1 is so thermally efficient I don’t think it would cause much of an issue (plus the vents are still on show)

    Poor folks at Andar are probably cringing every time Mark says this is genuine leather (and he says that a lot!).. 😀 Geniune leather is the cheapest grade of leather.. you probably meant full grain leather which is superior quality and is what Andar makes.
