I have never found a need for any of these things you are asking about—

Anything that impedes air flow or compromises the tight tolerances of the closed Mac is not advised.

ref:

Using a camera cover, palm rest, or keyboard cover on a Mac ...



This is my 5th MBP over several decades with no issues.


Sure use a laptop bag/ backpack / soft sleeve for transport makes sense for hauling it around.
