Screen hard shell weight won’t make any difference. It’s the number of closings that (theoretically) would wear out the hinges over time. The weight of the shell causing it to close is no different than pushing it closed at the end of each session (unless you’re letting it drop closed all of the time accidentally, which is not likely).

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

Exactly. My lid is either straight up or closed. I never leave it at a lowered angle.

[@jallen9043]

The hard case does not add stress to the hinge. I’ve had 5-6 MacBooks all hard cases used not one single issue. Thats nonsense!

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

@@jallen9043 ThX!

[@bpowick]

Those hard shell cases are nowhere near ‘heavy’ enough to add any significant weight that would cause the hinge to fail quicker than normal. Apple actually sells a number of them on their store. They would not sell any 3rd party product on their own site that would potentially damage any product they make. Plenty of people use these for years on their MacBooks (myself included) and they simply do not cause any damage at all.

I onl y use the keyboard cover when I am using my mac or when the lead is open. Then before I close it, I'll remove the keyboard cover.

[@brixan...]

This has nothing to do with the weight. As *Apple* said themselves (article from 8:15), *“you might damage your display because the clearance between the display and keyboard is designed to very tight tolerances.”* These laptops are designed around very small gaps, so you probably shouldn’t put anything between your keyboard and your screen. That’s the actual consideration with all 3 items

[@felipe4181]

I still use hard shell on my MacBook Pro 2015 and it looks simply in a prestine condition. I think he’s willing to sell a heavier camera than a protective shell. Now go and buy a good shell otherwise you could end up in a similar situation shown in one of the images.

[@shaunsrey9240]

best advice is to buy a keyboard cover especially for macbook air (since no fans) and remove before closing the lid.

[@DionMedia]

that is indeed an option

[@mariadagostinohannam7410]

I was going to say the same thing. I use a keyboard cover, however I remove it when I close my MacBook Air. It will imprint on the screen if you don't. Yes that's a lot of taking it off, putting it back on, etc but it works well for me. I have a couple I rotate, i clean them often.

[@Anurag-lz8nz]

​@@mariadagostinohannam7410What about air blockage? Is it safe for m1?(I am fresher in college just bought m1 plz share ur experience about cover keyboard)

[@miggyyusay]

I still use a hardshell case on my M2 MacBook Air after nearly 2 years, but I made sure it completed these criteria: 1. very lightweight, 2. clips are out of the way and screen can completely close, and 3. not rigid (has to be flexible). So far, my mac looks the same as day 1, with the hinge performing the same. I find that many hardshell cases out there are too rigid and heavy. This causes the hinge issues you mentioned as well as it warping the screen. The one on my mac is quite flexible and lightweight, and I only notice a very slight difference in how it holds up the screen at all angles. The clips on my specific case are also quite minimal (maybe that's also why it's easy to remove), and upon testing, the mac can close fully the same as with the case off. Personally, I prefer this over a skin because it has more protection from scratches and I find it has much stickier rubber feet than the default mac feet. However, I do think that most people should do more research and think twice before buying a hardshell case, and if they will, make sure to buy one that won't hurt the mac in the long run. Never used and will never use webcam covers or keyboard covers though, those are really proven to break the screen.

[@AdriatIcasr]

I’ve been using a hard shell case for all of my MacBooks since my very first 2012 MacBook Pro 15 and never had any hinge issues. Not sure where his argument about installing case for MacBooks can harm or even destroy the hinge. Even Apple retail stores sell hard shell case themselves. Can’t imagine Apple will sell accessories that can harm their own products’ endurance.

[@DionMedia]

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Hinge issues are not a given, but a too high probability to take the risk, In my opinion.

[@khaitomretro]

It's his bias not fact. He says the case will put too much stress on the hinge (is it really such poor hinge quality?) but then bolts a heavier webcam I to the screen. But that's what you get from sponsored videos, they're never impartial.

[@StrawberryJamJam29]

Same I've been using a cover for my 2015 MacBook pro because I actually damaged it by dropping it and picking it up when it had no cover. It had multiple scratches on it as I picked it up. So I put a case on it to prevent that from happening again. Have not had any issues with the hinges after years of using it. I wonder if it's just the newer MacBooks that have issues since they're thinner. I just got the October 2023 Edition M3 MacBook Pro.

[@brixan...]

Oh yeah? Let's see the hinge test

[@nicolechkw]

Exactly, I've used a hard shell case even the keyboard cover on my 2017 Macbook Air since the day I got it and everything is still in perfect condition. I only now upgraded because I wanted to treat myself, as well as, better battery life, and dual monitoring.

[@thinkpadherrenrasse4334]

My personal experience with the 2012 MBP (MD101), the 2020 M1 Air, and the 2022 M2 Air-all of which have been protected with a clear case from the very first day-I have not noticed any deterioration in hinge performance or encountered issues related to panel gaps or screen bending. My approach was to carefully assess the hinge's clearance during its opening and closing motions before committing to long-term use of the case. I found that the case sits comfortably in the small groove along the screen's edge, ensuring that it does not hinder the laptop's closure in any way. I actually more concerned of top mount for iPhone continuity camera feature (since iPhone weighs way more than the case). But then, people experience may vary.

[@DionMedia]

thanks for sharing your experience. As you say, experiences vary, but there is a risk, that is why I produced this video

[@MattZumpano]

Never had an issue with an air but with numerous pros.

[@nerwin]

I don't use any thing to protect mine. I just use it. I'm sure my Macbook Pro will get scratches, dings and wear on it over time but that just adds to the character!

[@JuliDC7xz]

I partially agree with you, Dion, I got myself a MBP 13 M2 and bought a hard case from Supcase, a keyboard cover from Ghostcover (Uppercase) and also, in order to prevent keyboard marks on screen a cleaning cloth which I put in between. Condition of device is pristine. I wash the keyboard cover once every week, and the harcase twice a month. screen has no scratches or dents, as I always put the cleaning cloth whenever I close the lid, and hardcase allows lid to close completely. I do agree with camera cover though. But on the rest, I can say those accessories work for what they are intended. Anyways I found this video most informative and will look forward to get that camera for my meetings. Keep it up!

[@MBK05]

How did you wash the cover? Don’t you need more stickers for it or no? Thanks 😊

What would you recommend when taking a new MacBook “M3 Pro” 14 inch through TSA to not get scratched or dented? Being taking with you in a carry on bag.

[@GS12.3D]

The problem with not using a hardcase for a macbook is the fact that apple laptops are very slippery and fall very easily, as some people said in the comments, I don't think that hardcases can cause damage to the macbook, but the act of opening and close the lid on the action of time, just choose a good case, i do prefer the smooth ones, made with fabric, leather, etc

[@healingandrestoration2807]

What I don't understand is if hardshell cases are so bad, why does Apple sell them on their website?

[@evolutia1]

@@healingandrestoration2807 Because they're fine. If you get a lightweight hardshell case that allows you to fully open and close your laptop it's ok. I feel like people are assuming that hardshell means heavy and so many of them are extremely light add almost no weight. They're also more grippy than the smooth mac. I don't like keyboard covers though. The closure point is vaild. Covers also can retain moisture and ruin the keys.

[@quecreate6913]

Great Video! Sleeves are always my go-to for the best minimal protection. However, telling consumers not to use a hard case is misleading since those problems are based on “user experience”. I’ve been using hard cases for years and recently took one off my MacBook w/ TouchBar before switching to Apple’s Pro Chip. Before being sold, even after 7 years of use, my hinge was still tight, with no wear or tear. I think it would’ve been best to say, be careful of the type of cases you are choosing ( thin/thick/heavy/bulky ), the frequency of opening/closing the lid, pushing the screen to its furthest, constantly adjusting, or simply constantly slamming it shut. These are the only criteria that can cause your MacBook hinge to become so loose; an Apple Genius will tell you this.

[@DionMedia]

Thanks for the useful feedback

[@joshjhoward]

I would also say something like Dbrand would be a good way to protect your Macbook's aluminum shell without causing harm.

[@DionMedia]

Good point! 👍

[@markbacsid5335]

I agree with hardshell case risk, however it did save my macbook when my son accidentally pushed it off the table to a hard tile floor, case broke fortuntely macbook didnt had any dents and scratches considering its aluminum. I think hard shell has its pros and cons.

I have ruined my macbook pro m1 by not using keyboard cover and hard shelf case and now I'm definitely using them. The new silicone Macs are not immune to dust ruining your keyboard, speaking from experience. Also once I have removed my keyboard cover, my glass screen protector cracked, because there was no soft layer in between to protect from hard hits or bumps.

[@stuartyablon7184]

Total agreement. Keyboard cover when in use reduces dust, grime, and potential for accidental spills. I had one spill that I thought I had cleaned up quickly... obviously not quickly enough.

[@stevee1989]

the keyboard cover are proven to break the screen if you leave it on the Mac when closed. Advised would be use it only when open, when you close the lid simply remove it. The case is fine as long as is not to heavy or mostly, unbalance the Mac weight or don't have big clips from the sides. A lot of case manufacturers have seen these problems and improved the cases a bit

[@GearWave]

Good point ! Do the cases have a soft material to line the outeri inner rim of the cases so they don't scratch or scuff the sides of the laptop

[@Senor_pepito]

I don’t know but I feel like I’m more worried about scratches and things falling on the top of my MacBook rather than the hinge stress overtime? Is a hard case that much heavier to cause significant issues?

[@samanthaotero8430]

What’s your take on external triscreens for MacBook Air? Can it damage the laptop?

[@tjaekeys]

So the space in between the laptop caused by the cover is filled with the keyboard cover. So they cancel each other out….

[@TerraNipponica]

The claim that using a case for a MacBook is harmful and dangerous is complete nonsense and not based on reality. Apple itself sells hard cases in its official store, and they weigh quite a bit. I'm looking at a hard case for the MacBook Air in the official Apple store right now, and its hinge is significantly weaker than that of a regular MacBook Pro, yet this case weighs almost half a pound! That's the first point. Secondly, the pressure exerted on the hinges by a case is hundreds of times less and far less extreme than the abrupt closures shown in this video. I’ve never encountered anyone who closes their laptop with a force less than the weight of the case.

[@Igor-q3f]

You might have a defective hinge. I have a hard shell case since 2012, never took it off and still works, opens and closes like new.

I never used a case for my MBA other than a regular laptop bag together with other belongings. I'm always using an exclusive bin just for my laptop during the airport TSA security screening process to avoid scratches. Thats it. My MBA M1 still looks as good as new.

Can someone please share his/her feedback on this new Space Black colour. I did some research and found that the colour is fading from the sharp edges of this MacBook Pro M3 Pro.

I have a super slim hard case and camera protector to I think the hinge and screen damage are set-off by using both.
