I remember the first time I scratched my MacBook Pro. It was at the airport; I placed it in a tray that sadly had sand at the bottom, probably from someone who came straight from the beach. I cringed. Luckily, I placed it face-up, but every time I look at the bottom of my MacBook Pro, I remember the scratches, and sadly not the vacation I was on.

If your office is mobile, you are always on your phone or on your laptop, which means working from the coffee shop, from home, or anywhere in between. Your MacBook Pro goes everywhere with you, and you’re always placing it on any type of surface that’s welcoming enough for you to get your work done.

Even if you go with the cheapest model, a MacBook Pro is an expensive computer. While it retains its value pretty well, nobody wants to buy a scratched laptop, no more than you like working on it. So how do you best protect your MacBook Pro? Slap a case on it. I know, it’s a compromise, like using fabric seat covers on your leather seats, but you’re only postponing the inevitable.

Regardless of whether you have a 13, 15, or 16-inch MacBook Pro, we’ve rounded up some of the MacBook Pro cases we think you should definitely look at if you’re on the market for some protection for your laptop.

With any MacBook Pro, if you need to ensure your device is protected from falls and the damage they cause, picking accessories from SUPCASE or UAG is essential to an extent. But if you’re looking to keep your device safe from scrapes and scratches, options from KuzyMosiso, and Mektron are worth picking.
