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:
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.
Most of the cases for MacBooks have been produced by third parties, not directly by Apple.
The ones showing in the Apple Online Store now are all third-party, and there are none for the 14-in or new 16-in M1 models.
Some of the ones that are available for slightly older models can't deliver before December.
Looking for something for my 14" MBP also. The only thing I can find so far is from glitty, and they are not cheap. Very nice, but you'll pay for it.

that Glitty case says pre-order now for delivery in 8 to 12 weeks.
Aask the case maker. Apple does not opine on whether aftermarket products are 'fit for purpose'.
I researched this very issue and it appears that adding a case to a MacBook can cause the hinge to loosen.
Personally, I have never experienced a loose hinge before.
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 :-)
I learned about it on this forum and on YouTube.
The problem with the hard case was that the added weight caused the hinge to loosen.
Many users (myself included) have never experienced that particular issue.
I don't understand, how are we supposed to protect our new macbook if there are not cases sold by apple ? jesus...
They sell cases in their website that s where i got mine from for macbook air
I understand.
In fact, I also purchased my case from the Apple retail store years ago.
I might avoid adding a case for my next MacBook Pro 14" purchase (soon) due to Apple advising against it.
Ahhh is apple advising against it?
where can I find their advice?
thank you!!!
