Protective case for new Macbook Pro 14"?

Does anyone know if when Apple (or anyone else) will put on sale some protective cases for the new Macbook Pro? I've just bought a 14" and I was looking for something similar to this one, which I used to have for my old Macbook.


Thank you :-)

Hi there! Thanks for the link! It does look very nice, but... Would it be effective in protecting the MacBook if it fell? I'll definitely keep it in mind, but I really hope something else comes out soon and we can both find something useful and cheaper!


I actually contacted a bunch of companies, and Urban Armor got back to me to ask me to fill out a form to request the case, as they're currently deciding which cases to make! This is the form, if anyone else is interested: https://uag.typeform.com/to/fThhGN !


As for the other companies I contacted:

  • InCase told me they'll release one early Q1 of 2022
  • iMosiso should have one available early December
  • Tech21 is considering it, but unlikely to make any in the near future


I hope this helps?

Hey, thanks for sharing your research!


I think Apple has been unhappy about product leaks, and tightened their grip on specs, so it may take a while (as your research suggests) for aftermarket suppliers to "tool up" to produce these accessories.


We have used inexpensive neoprene sleeve for transport inside a backpack (similar to scuba diving wetsuit material with soft nylon zipper). They provide good cushioning for transport, but nothing once you remove and power up the computer.

Oh, of course, I will! Thanks for the advice.


I was asking on here because those are the products that are sold on Apple's website, so that's where I would be buying them from (since I would incur on customs charges if I bought them directly from the case maker). I was just wondering if anyone knew of any Apple-approved cases that would work with the new MacBooks :-)
