This is my MacBook Pro and for today I have added three super common accessories that claim to protect your Mac but instead actually can cause serious damage over the long run. I am talking about a hard shell case, webcam cover and keyboard cover. In this video I will go over each accessory, share what you should think twice before using it and finally see if there are any better alternatives. Trust me if you have a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, newer or older model, this video is worth a watch!

lol not to mention Apple literally worked with Belkin to make a MagSafe phone clip so you can hang your phone off the top of your MacBook screen to use Continuity Camera to use the iPhone cameras in FaceTime, etc. No excess stress on the hinge with a huge iPhone 15 Pro Max hanging off the back of the display for extended periods of times! Apple also sell the 'incase' hard shell cases in Apple Stores, they're perfectly safe to use. The keyboard and webcam cover are indeed dumb though but always have been.

Screen hard shell weight won’t make any difference. It’s the number of closings that (theoretically) would wear out the hinges over time. The weight of the shell causing it to close is no different than pushing it closed at the end of each session (unless you’re letting it drop closed all of the time accidentally, which is not likely).

Those hard shell cases are nowhere near ‘heavy’ enough to add any significant weight that would cause the hinge to fail quicker than normal. Apple actually sells a number of them on their store. They would not sell any 3rd party product on their own site that would potentially damage any product they make. Plenty of people use these for years on their MacBooks (myself included) and they simply do not cause any damage at all.

I partially agree with you, Dion, I got myself a MBP 13 M2 and bought a hard case from Supcase, a keyboard cover from Ghostcover (Uppercase) and also, in order to prevent keyboard marks on screen a cleaning cloth which I put in between. Condition of device is pristine. I wash the keyboard cover once every week, and the harcase twice a month. screen has no scratches or dents, as I always put the cleaning cloth whenever I close the lid, and hardcase allows lid to close completely. I do agree with camera cover though. But on the rest, I can say those accessories work for what they are intended. Anyways I found this video most informative and will look forward to get that camera for my meetings. Keep it up!

I was going to say the same thing. I use a keyboard cover, however I remove it when I close my MacBook Air. It will imprint on the screen if you don't. Yes that's a lot of taking it off, putting it back on, etc but it works well for me. I have a couple I rotate, i clean them often.

I’ve been using a hard shell case for all of my MacBooks since my very first 2012 MacBook Pro 15 and never had any hinge issues. Not sure where his argument about installing case for MacBooks can harm or even destroy the hinge. Even Apple retail stores sell hard shell case themselves. Can’t imagine Apple will sell accessories that can harm their own products’ endurance.

It's his bias not fact. He says the case will put too much stress on the hinge (is it really such poor hinge quality?) but then bolts a heavier webcam I to the screen. But that's what you get from sponsored videos, they're never impartial.

Same I've been using a cover for my 2015 MacBook pro because I actually damaged it by dropping it and picking it up when it had no cover. It had multiple scratches on it as I picked it up. So I put a case on it to prevent that from happening again. Have not had any issues with the hinges after years of using it. I wonder if it's just the newer MacBooks that have issues since they're thinner. I just got the October 2023 Edition M3 MacBook Pro.

I still use a hardshell case on my M2 MacBook Air after nearly 2 years, but I made sure it completed these criteria: 1. very lightweight, 2. clips are out of the way and screen can completely close, and 3. not rigid (has to be flexible). So far, my mac looks the same as day 1, with the hinge performing the same. I find that many hardshell cases out there are too rigid and heavy. This causes the hinge issues you mentioned as well as it warping the screen. The one on my mac is quite flexible and lightweight, and I only notice a very slight difference in how it holds up the screen at all angles. The clips on my specific case are also quite minimal (maybe that's also why it's easy to remove), and upon testing, the mac can close fully the same as with the case off. Personally, I prefer this over a skin because it has more protection from scratches and I find it has much stickier rubber feet than the default mac feet. However, I do think that most people should do more research and think twice before buying a hardshell case, and if they will, make sure to buy one that won't hurt the mac in the long run. Never used and will never use webcam covers or keyboard covers though, those are really proven to break the screen.

My personal experience with the 2012 MBP (MD101), the 2020 M1 Air, and the 2022 M2 Air-all of which have been protected with a clear case from the very first day-I have not noticed any deterioration in hinge performance or encountered issues related to panel gaps or screen bending. My approach was to carefully assess the hinge's clearance during its opening and closing motions before committing to long-term use of the case. I found that the case sits comfortably in the small groove along the screen's edge, ensuring that it does not hinder the laptop's closure in any way. I actually more concerned of top mount for iPhone continuity camera feature (since iPhone weighs way more than the case). But then, people experience may vary.

I just got a M3 pro MacBook Pro 2 weeks ago. I immediately got a hard case. I didn't realize it was putting so much weight on the screen. When I would put it down, the screen would swing back. As soon as I took it off, it stopped doing it. It went back to precision closing. My MacBook spends the majority of the time closed and docked to a screen. So no need for that. I just got a hardshell case. Thanks for the information!

The newer hardshell cases are lighter than the old ones i assume like the one shown on the video., they also improved the design of the bottom piece not to hit the screen when closed. The hinge issue (for me) is more of a wear and tear thing because there are also macbooks that never had a hardshell case but still get loose when half open., and also there are benefits too having a case that does not ruin the aesthetics design of the laptop imo.

Great Video! Sleeves are always my go-to for the best minimal protection. However, telling consumers not to use a hard case is misleading since those problems are based on “user experience”. I’ve been using hard cases for years and recently took one off my MacBook w/ TouchBar before switching to Apple’s Pro Chip. Before being sold, even after 7 years of use, my hinge was still tight, with no wear or tear. I think it would’ve been best to say, be careful of the type of cases you are choosing ( thin/thick/heavy/bulky ), the frequency of opening/closing the lid, pushing the screen to its furthest, constantly adjusting, or simply constantly slamming it shut. These are the only criteria that can cause your MacBook hinge to become so loose; an Apple Genius will tell you this.

You know what sucks. If you do use a keyboard cover and finally decide to remove it it feels so weird to type on the keynoard again. Honestly it sounds better and has a slightly more tactile feel but after over a year of using the keyboard cover maybe this is the change I need to actually want to use my macbook for more than just writing. Plus I really do want to keep my M2 air for as long as possible since I havent had the best of laptop luck in my life (college 2012-1016) I went through 2 laptops (an ASUS and an HP) and both died within a year and a half of ownership one for a shittily designed DC power port the other due to the fan deciding it wanted to literally melt. I am learning new things daily seeing these what not to do videos. I thought I was protecting my macbook now I know I was actually harming it.... Thank you. time to look into a soft and or hard case once funds allow again for travel purposes.

How about kora screen protector?
@Dayandnightdesign Сағат бұрын
any case with fluffy linings should be avoided, seen so many over the years that have sucked in loads of residual fluff when inevitably left on in the case. killing any cooling performance which eventually fries the gpu/cpu.

I only use hard shell case if I'm travelling with it in my handbag which is not designed to carry a laptop, if I'm not using sleeve (which I really hate to use). And now, I'm only putting the bottom part of the case only.
@Brian-jv8iy Ай бұрын
You can put the top part as well, there is no issue with it at all

I’ve been using the shell for almost 5yrs, it’s still ok now but i think you’re right i don’t really need it, i already have the sleeves anw, n i guess that’s why it’s so tight when i zips it close, if i don’t use the shell it fits perfectly. But ngl i owed the shell big time because my cat once peed on my mac (lid closed), if it’s not for the shell the pee would be directly onto the mac 😅

good point about the cat, had not thought of that :)

After ruining 2 MacBook Pro’s, one of which was only 2 months old, by spilling my beverage into the keyboard…I was very tempted to get the silicone cover. However, mine has always run hot, and then I saw a lot of things about why not to do it. So, I bought a decent wireless keyboard from Logitech that I like, works well and is under $50. The MacBook sits on its stand away from my beverage, and if I ruing the wireless keyboard, I’m out 34.99, instead of $2K.

I think a separate webcam for something like MacBook is the stupidest thing you can make.

you are advice for 1 and 3rd item are not consistent. if I use a case, that creates a tiny gap given the clips, that gap is the perfect space for the keyboard cover. is it optimal? of course, not, but is apple decision to gives us yucky keycaps that after a few months of use makes it look worse than a chrome book? definitely not. I will keep using my case and keyboard cover (so far about 18 months) and my keycaps are perfect, ready to increase my resale value when I sell it next month.

I bought one of those very expensive $100 laptop shell covers to protect my $5000 MacBook Pro, but the cover is useless because I prefer a viewing angle of 5 degrees but with the shell on it It won’t stay open… thank god I saw this video… I don’t want to damage the hinge on my laptop… I also make KZfaq vlogs and mount an Arri Alexa to the top of my laptop, no problem with the weight of that on my hinge of my MacBook

I feel , its totally unecessary for the macbook cases, making it more heavy. We should handle with care , rather than fully spoiling the looks of it . Would rather prefer a proper carry case for macbook than this case.

Many have told me personally not to put one as it gives an another layer on the screen which may cause issues later

I use a keyboard cover to prevent keys to become so shiny and horrible, like every KZfaqr show, it looks like dirty and greasy despite being just worn out But yes, I always remove it when closing it... But I do have a hard shell case and yes, my hinge is very loose now :(
