Using a HardShell Case:


Based on Personal Experience:

No. It is not a good idea to use, as it caused my former Mac to overheat consistently, eventually leading to failure.


So, Use a Sleeve:

So, what I use is a sleeve, and then I take it out of it, when I need to use my Mac. Once done using my Mac, I let it cool for a bit, and then close the screen, placing it back in the sleeve.  What I use: MOSISO Laptop Sleeve - Amazon
