2020 MacBook Pro - Hard Case?

I just bought the same model and I am having the same problem! But I recently just found one on amazon that came up for pre-order and is not available until August or September of 2020. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0894NYN18/?coliid=I2H5MOSVVNVOQZ&colid=L1NMNRUNQXIH&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

My only concern is that it comes with a keyboard cover, which you are not supposed to use if your computer has a retina display, which the Macbook A2289 does. I may end up ordering it anyway and not using the keyboard cover because I haven't found any other cases anywhere!

Because of the limited clearance between the keyboard and display when closed.

Do not use palm rest or keycap covers on a Mac notebook with a Retina display - Apple Support

The 2020 MBP is thicker in height due to the addition of the Magic Keyboard so no hard shell cases from the 2019 model should fit.

As far as screen protectors due to the vulnerability of the anti-reflective coating on the screen I would recommend against using any screen protectors as they will damage the coating.

hi! I am having the same issue. I just purchased my new Mac book pro model A2289 a few weeks ago and I'm searching for a hard case as well. I own a sleeve already, so just looking for the hard case. It seems companies need time to catch up and create them, but I did find this one! I have found more success with typing the model number in on amazon to be more specific. Try this one, but it has limited options. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S5372Q3/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2JY0TBT2EDYOV&psc=1

I may order one from here, the price is good, and at least its some extra protection! Good luck- let us know if you find any others as time goes on!

I had the same struggle, looked for one for hours on amazon, I ordered this case, its backordered tho.

Thank you so much for this. You are very helpful.

My only question is; why shouldn't one have a keyboard cover if they have a Retina display? I haven't heard this before, but I'm wondering if that has something to do with a minor issue I'm experiencing?

Hi !

I'm having the same problem. I bought my MacBook Pro last week and I don't want to go to school without some sort of protection. I want to buy an Incase hardshell case but I heard that they're not compatible with the 2020 MBP. Just waiting for them to come out with a new version but it's taking forever !!

Just purchased this on Amazon, scheduled to arrive July 22-23. Make sure you check your model number...the 2020 editions are slightly thicker at 0.61 of an inch compared to 2019's 0.59 inch height.

Hi. I am having the same issue, but your link has an issue. The thing is that the link says it is compatible for models of 2016 all the way to 2020. As you may know, these models have definitely changed over the past few years.This is a common scam in which they persuade customers to waste money.

You should be fine. I ordered a keyboarder cover. Most of them are rubber and shouldn't cause damage. Keycaps are a completely different thing than the covers. The covers also are not thick so that's another reason you should be fine. Keycap covers are usually hard plastic to make some keys look cooler with some designs some sort.

I know I'm a little late to the party but I am got my new computer a bit later-- I also had a. 2011 and got my computer at the end of July and ordered a case from amazon that said it fit the 2020 model and then went and bought one at Best Buy and still no luck.

This is what I bought for my Macbook Pro 13 inch 2020 (A2289). In order to check the model of your mac it is at the bottom of the mac. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Im still checking whether having it on is affecting the temperature of the mac. But also this does not leave anything on the retina display.

I found this link on the apple website explaining why you can't use keyboard covers with Retina display.

I just bought this one for mine lol 😭 the reviews and description don’t say anything negative yet. What does everyone think?

Be careful. In the fine print (for the KECC case) they explain that the cover is not compatible with the 2020 model. See my attachment.
