Lifesaving case for MacBook Air M2! How to protect it at a low cost!

At the moment I purchased my MacBook Air M2, I've constantly been worried about it getting scratched or damaged in any way. To ensure its protection, I've decided to purchase a dedicated cover. In this video, I want to share my experience with buying and using this cover to ensure that my MacBook stays in perfect condition.

I use the same brand but a clear case. I enjoy that the case doesn't detract from the looks of the laptop. No screen protector; and I only use the keyboard cover if I'm typing. I don't close the laptop with the keyboard protector because I've damaged MBP screens before in that manner.

is it safe to use hard cover case on macbook?
As you say, the MacBook Air M2 Midnight is beautiful. I love mine. I seldom see smudges on it, and if I see one that bothers me, which hardly ever happens, I rub it with a finger and it's gone. Smudges are a completely overblown issue. It was hard to watch you cover up something that you claim is beautiful. What's the point? "It's so pretty, I'm going to cover it up so nobody can see it."

Wow i had no clue the m2 macbooks with flat design looked this nice in a case! I think it looks better with a case, than without one! The blue case color makes the blue color on the Mac blend in so well!!! Looks great! Almost makes me wanna replace my m1 macbook with an m2 lol

Uhh it’s a black case
Note: Using a laptop case is much more worse that not having a laptop case, this is because the top case will cause stress on the hinge and the below case would reduce airflow.
I just got an M1 and I use the exact same cover except mine can show the apple logo pretty well. Everything included with yours was also included with mine. Guessing these are being rebranded and resold by various companies on Amazon
I like that it hides the logo. It was hard to find a case that hides the logo. But I caution not to cover the keyboard, it will damage the screen.
i own a MBA M2 as well. I use the Speck thin case with the same color as yours. The only thing I can suggest to you is that do not put the keyboard rubber. As I have read from users that this cause damage to the screen in the long run. Great video! keep it up.

I've not only heard the same but also there are videos with people whose screens were damaged because of the keyboard cover. The continued added width of the keyboard protector applies pressure to the display over time causing it to develop a permanent line/grid pattern and pixel clouding. Yeah, don't use it.

@@EuropaeusOrigoright.. and pull the keyboard protector away when closing the lid.
I just got my M2 MBA and I know it's a personal preference but imo I'd rather invest in a good protective sleeve to carry the laptop. I know we're used that everything Apple needs a lot of casing and protection, but no one throws around thei bag with their tech inside or when you work on a desk the chances of something happening are minimal. And tbh coming from an aluminium windows laptop, ofc they will get scratches and wear overtime, it's a portable device made from a rathr 'soft' metal. Although I still see the value in a hardshell case, I advice AGAINST screen protectors not only because I see it has caused damage for some people, but also the retina display is so beautiful and the cheap amazon glass you'd get to cover it ineviteblty distorts the quality. I just gently wipe it with a microfiber cloth once in a while and that's that. i know we want to protrct out devices for as long as possible, but this whole pristine culture adds so much anxiety to the daily use of such everyday objects. Everything ears down, scratches and changes overtime, just respect your purchase, klean it once in a while and enjoy your new laptops :))

Not life saving as the laptop does not fully close. I used it for two days, and took it off already, today I just looked on the side of my air and the lid is not fully closed, not a good thing, so just buy a sleeve or just be careful.
Will the case damange the hinge?
Covering the logo is EXACTLY what I want to do.

in my experience you need to clean at least once a month because the dust will trapped under your hardcase. It will scratch your macbook except you want to use the hardcase forever.

Turning a MacBook into a cheap-looking laptop with screen reflections? Not sure, better go silver or space gray which can tolerate scratches and fingerprints without looking bad.
Where did you the stand
how's your macbook so far? is the screen ok? my concern is the clips of the case in contact with the screen.
@andreadigitaltechen

Up to now everything is working fine. The clips do not bother, once installed the cover becomes one with the macbook. You just have to be a little careful with the clips when you remove the cover as they are very sturdy, but with a little patience and attention it's all good
Not necessary, the aluminum is strong enough and a case will scratch it more than if you don't use one unless you play soccer with it. Also risk of overheating.

Apple doesn't recommend the use of screen protectors because of the design factor of the laptops, they have the exact amount of space between the keyboard and the screen when closed. So is bad for the screen causing it to crack...

At this price, if the screen can be touched, it is this price. It's ridiculously expensive, even if you compare it to other Windows laptops, it's still too expensive. Some manufacturers have a cheaper price than the MacBook Pro even if the screen is touch screen.

Do not EVER use a screen protector, hardshell case or camera cover. The gap between the screen and the upper case when closed is extremely small, your screen will eventually Break/crack for having a screen protector or camera cover. You genuinely do not need it and it will do more harm than "protecting" your screen. Instead of a hardshell case, please please please just get a sleeve. A hardshell case will likely end up scratching the paint of your MacBook, especially if you're here with a Midnight, Space Gray or Space Black machine. It is even worse with those darker colors, as bad as scratching already is on a color like Midnight. Just get a sleeve unless you're up for a repair that costs you a whole other laptops.

The case is made of a rigid material and covers the outside of the MacBook well, so it protects it from both water and scratches. The inside of the MacBook is exposed, so be careful
DO NOT buy the screen protector as it can damage your screen when closed due to its tight tolerance. Also dont leave the keyboard cover when closing the lid. That’s going to destroy the display
I always cover my macbooks, i dont care. I use clear covers so you can still see the macbook clearly. All those that say leave it exposed blah blah and they use it anyhow and its scratched all over. Couple of years down the line they want to sell it on facebook market or ebay for ridiculous prices after its scratched, keypads faded, shiny and greasy. In the example above you could put an apple sticker on the case.

This looks like a complete fail tbh. You’ve ruined that cool blue look by putting a black cover on it. Should have got a clear one, black would be good for black, not blue. Then the screen protector not applied correctly at all, needs to be pressed with a card as you go along, once you get bubbles they’re pretty much impossible to remove and it looks awful
You have prematurely sent your laptop to it's grave
Please, Please do not use keyboard covers an these hardshell cases. Cases can damage your MacBook hinge over time and the covers can cause screen damage due to the bare minimal gap between your keyboard an screen. Do research on this, reddit, talk to geniuses etc.
