Of course, there’s no point in purchasing an ultra-expensive armor-plated case if all you need is something to protect your MacBook Pro from scraping against the contents of your bag or backpack during your commute.

However, if you’re willing to pay a little extra, hardshell and rugged cases can protect your device against shock damage, dust particulates, and even water or heat exposure.

Even the most basic case can protect your MacBook from surface-level damage, and many are available for a price that won’t break the bank. While a few scuffs or scratches aren’t the end of the world, it would be a shame to tarnish the slick frame of some of Apple’s most aesthetically pleasing devices to date.
