Why You Shouldn't Put A Case On Your MacBook

Most people buying an iPhone want to protect it with a case as soon as possible. Something Apple has recommended for over a decade. Recently, this behavior has carried over to MacBooks. With users attaching plastic covers to protect their investment. But this may be doing more harm than good. Since a MacBook’s low-tolerance clamshell design can be damaged by a case that’s poorly designed or fitted improperly.
Unlike iPhones, MacBooks have a hinge that allow the lid to open and close. And cases can apply unnecessary stress to the hinge in a variety of ways. First, being excess weight.

[@commentwar4802]

I find it *really* odd that the reason not to put a case on the lid of the MacBook is because of excess weight on the hinges. Meanwhile, Apple advertises continuity camera with a mount that attaches to the lid of the MacBook with an iPhone on it which is significantly heavier than a plastic case and puts more weight on the hinges.

[@hazel_888]

yes, but that weight is only applied for a short period of time, you're not gonna have your iPhone stuck on the back on your mac all the time. a case tho, puts constant weight on it for a very long time, and that can weaken the hinges, over years of constant weight.

[@commentwar4802]

@@hazel_888 Though it is for shorter time, it still has the same effect, If you were someone who uses continuity camera a lot, your hinges will still weaken over time, At a faster rate at that due to the heavier weight.

Surprised this video didn’t discuss heat dissipation and airflow issues caused by even well designed cases. The unibody enclosure of MacBooks is designed to act as a heatsink and radiate heat from components outward. Much like the human body, if this process is impeded by a non permeable layer touching or close to the skin, overheating will occur.

From buying my very first MacBook in 2013, I've always bought plastic cases and I've never experienced any ramifications by doing do. By installing a case, your investment is not only protected but the resale value is much greater than a MacBook that's damaged or in a poor state by constant drops, which can't be prevented with a sleeve..

[@AbeM.]

How often do you drop your MacBook…?

[@svenwalter4293]

[@Ultimaso6]

As a repair shop of 7+ years I wouldn’t say the cases weight significantly affects the hinge mechanism. The example you’ve used in your video sounds like she had a case and developed Flexgate. I agree that the slight gap left between the bottom casing and lid is a problem (especially if weight is applied to machine while closed). This can crack the lcd internally. In addition, cases that restrict the natural airflow of the machine can result in overheating and after extensive use, discolouration (especially on the coloured models).😮 A good sleeve and some discipline goes way further than a cheap case!

[@duckhaver]

[@goldenhourss]

[@taehunkim7148]

This is why I use skins on MacBooks to retain their natural shape, but prevent any scratches. I also use a carry bag (or sleeve) so that MacBooks remain protected when on the move.

[@nasseralsharif]

If it’s a MacBook Air (fanless) It’s actually bad to use a skin, Because MacBook uses its body to dissipate heat

[@DJSelphi]

I only put a cover on the top for looks, the bottom stays coverless so it doesn't overheat

[@StrawbyteWorkshop]

Interesting, but I think your later point sums it up. Don't buy cheap. I've used INCASE cases for years and have never had any real issues. I have had issues with Apple's hinge clutches which they may specify carefully taking into account reasonable use and screen weights, but are in-fact not always manufactured to acceptable quality.

This also applies to even the expensive cases. MacBook doesn’t need a case, it’s not an iPad or iPhone. It’s very heavy, putting a case will just add up extra weight.

Even Apple themselves are selling hard cases on their site from InCase. I have used it in my stuff for years with no issues. If a MacBook Air over heats with that on then you have a laptop issue, not a case issue. I have recently switched to skins over cases though. That way docks work fine.

[@redphone1438]

I had to get my M2 MacBook Air display replaced because the hard shell case I used loosen the hinges. Also what you did not mention is that cases can also cause damage to the laptops display. The case makes it more likely for the laptop to open and close in your bag which can allow dirt and debris to get in causing dents on the display.

[@Memocracken]

it will be nice to have a case just for the corners of the MacBook, u don’t will have all of those problems and your Mac can be secure for corner damages

Ever since apple put out the article saying that a simple camera cover can cause your macbook's screen to crack, I've always been skeptical about putting a case on any macbook and probably will continue to use sleeves for the rest of time.

[@MattyH64]

I have my case on my MacBook Air for about 4 years and it’s the really cheap kind and still looks new and no bends or pink lines anywhere to be seen!

[@bassentertainmentstudios1900]

I really suggest using a sleeve. Cases can block airflow to your MacBook vents causing overheating and eventually permanent damage. MacBook airs especially need these vents as they do not have fans. I suggest using sleeves because they provide great protection while also oftentimes including a small handle making it easier to hold on the go. And it also maintains the beautiful sleek design and when in use.

[@jun_suzuki42]

The newer MacBook are much more fragile than last time, and it is a feature haha

[@Cindery936]

@@jun_suzuki42 2018-2020 MacBook airs are much more susceptible to damage. They have tolerances so low that even if you so much had a paper thin object in between the lid and the case it may genuinely crack the LCD. The same is true for a grain of rice. Ask me how I know.

[@nasseralsharif]

In phones and ipads, it make sense to use a case, because you can grip and handle them. But a laptop, it’s usually on a lap (hence the name laptop). And the laptop case won’t actually protect the laptop if it drops. Waste of money

[@bassentertainmentstudios1900]

Cases will only protect very very minor scratches if you are using it on a desk but if you put a laptop in a sleeve instead it survive ten foot falls if it a good one

[@TheDragonGuyYT]

I feel like the laptop case thing could apply to any laptop honestly

[@sihamhamda47]

Windows laptops doesn't need any case as most of them has the intake vent spread across the whole bottom cover. Even I have to use 4 eraser blocks to rise the bottom of my laptop in order to get as much air as possible, so my laptop doesn't thermal throttle when in full load

[@goosyhq]

yeah but this is Apple explained

[@paulb9453]

I was expecting the plastic to cause overheating, but the hinge wasn’t what I expected, maybe I’ll try it with the case off and live with the finger prints on my black MacBook (which is probably more hygienic by more frequent cleaning anyway).

[@izeshmikurac]

Also, I can confirm this from using a phone case, debris can get underneath the case and it will scratch and build-up dust. I just put a Slickwraps Clear matte with a logo cutout and It's perfect for me. Highly recommend

The algorithm is real, I just looked how to replace a hinge on my MacBook Air and I also have an Amazon hard shell. Taking it off immediately, thanks!

[@orvvro]

You also forgot to mention that small debris can enter the case, which causes damage that never would occur without a case. I'm speaking of experience; I bought a €3 case 7 years ago, I had scuffs/scratches after a few months of regular use. Now I'm using a Dbrand skin (have had it for over 2 years now) and it's great

[@TurtleWaveZ]

I think an “Apple explained to help you sleep” idea might be cool. These videos are really chill and an extended compilation on certain subject would be neat, an iPhone edition, Mac edition, Apple Watch, etc

[@akashvyas5070]

Something that I have done is remove the bottom section of the case and keep the top section so it's still protected from scratches and sometimes small impacts and keep the hinge functioning optimally. I just keep the top part of the case on and the bottom part off.

[@PrincessSakuno]

true, i put a hinge on mine for a bit and then took it off coz it added weight to it. Once i took it off the hinge started making this weird rubbing sound, but it has gone away after a while

My M2 Air fits perfectly into the Apple Leather Sleeves that used to be sold several years ago. Had a case for a while afterwards. But came back to the sleeve and no longer use a case.

[@ignaciomb7419]

Apple sells licensed third party MacBook hard shell cases on their website though

[@rtmpgt]

UAG, Tech21 and Incase are all brands Apple sells in their stores iirc.

[@Jhud69]

Honestly this makes sense. I use cases though my Macbooks aren't my daily drivers, they're travel laptops for me so I don't use them that often so I think it's okay for now. But whenever I buy a new case I end up having to file some plastic just so my Macbook even FITS within the case (seriously, does nobody check these beforehand?) and then it usually ends up not closing fully anyway. I think I'll settle for a decorative+protective skin and a sleeve.

[@Keyser95]

I get your point and you said some cases but tbh i’ve had an m2 for over a year with a case and no problems whatsoever, i think it all depends on how you use it and how much stress you put on it eg. people who go around on jt all day long. Nice video

[@luifergreco]

Cases are mostly useful on the bottom, since the space between the bottom cover and the surface is so thin, it can lead to some scratches if there's some dirt on the surface. Of course, the surface must be clean, but it can happen when you're taking your machine with you. Some quality decal can do the job while being lighter.

[@adilbek.ermekov]

[@skynichols]

I buy a cover and only put the monitor part on because I cracked my screen a few years back and it felt like a very avoidable incident if I’d had a screen. Doing this prevents basically all issues listed-never ever had a problem with the hinge either but I think the MacBook Air had a subpar hinge which I never owned. Older macs also suffered from extra heat insulation if you used the bottom portion of the cover. Another reason I left it off

[@Iforgorrrrr]

This applies to any Modern notebook laptop and not just MacBooks and MacBooks already don't have the best thermal design compared to a Windows ultrabook laptop such as the galaxy book, so the case is even worse as it is suffocating the Mac even more and not allowing passive cooling (air blowing past the magnesium/aluminum body) to happen with the plastic covering up the body.
