I tested the standard versions, but the casualization interrupted them. However, you will have the choice between Its impact And Rebound case which are equipped with bumpers on the sides for additional protection.
MOFT laptop transport handle for $ 60:: It is a round that doubles as a laptop support, with the possibility of choosing between two heights. You can also use the integrated pocket to store additional items such as a charger or headphones.

It is spacious, easy to clean and perfect for my 14 -inch MacBook Pro – while still leaving a lot of room for my makeup bag, my headphones, my water bottle, etc. Unfortunately, it does not have a zipper or button, so you will have to be slightly aware of everything that falls from the top.

Avoid these accessories
We constantly test a ton of accessories. Unfortunately, they are not worth buying. Below, we have listed those that we suggest avoiding completely.
Twelve South Bookarc Flex for $ 40: Twelve South’s Bookarc Flex (3/10, Wired Review) is a magnificent vertical laptop stand. Unfortunately, he fails his work alone: keeping the laptop in place. It’s too fragile. The slightest movement around the support makes it switch to it, forcing you to be very careful. It is not worth it.
Macbook MacBook screen protector of magnetic confidentiality for $ 60:: It hurts me to put this screen protector under “do not recommend” because he does his job very well. When I used it at an event last year, several people commented on how it blocked what was on my macbook air screen from several angles. It is also magnetic, which means that you don’t have to worry about applying it with accident. But whatever the number of times I reinstalled it, I could not completely close my laptop with – there was always a slight gap between the lid and the lower half of the computer. I ended up having to remove it every time I wanted to close my laptop and reapply it when I needed it again.
