Insignia™ - Hard-Shell Case for 2021 and 2023 MacBook Pro 14" - Frosted Purple

I purchased this because I have an upcoming international travel and being carried in carry on bag and multiple times taking out for security checkins, I bought this to have some protection. Here is my take on this: 1. Over the few weeks, it become from frosted to transparent It also have some weird bubble spot on it within 2-3 days. 2. It fits perfectly Macbook Pro 14 inch 2021 model but the lack of instruction specially for the top screen part confused me little. Bottom part is easy even without instruction but top screen part is tricky. It can go either way, so I would have preferred a marking or something to indicate proper side. Definitely area of improvement. 3. It maintains original look and feel of the macbook. It has ventilation at the bottom to disperse the heat. All the ports are cut aptly, no issues there. 4. I am not sure or tested how much protection it will give but hoping it should cover good for the expensive item as being hard shell plastic case material. But something at least better than nothing. 5. It is light weight and does not increase the weight of the machine. 6. It helps at least from gathering dust. But I am not sure how the bubble scratches got into it even on first day of use. I did not travel or move with this. 7. 30$, I would not say very cheap, but if you can snag it in 20$, it's a steal. But there are better options from Apple or others for 50$ and over.

Fits. Good quality. Neat color. Good price. I recommend it!

Good overall! The case fit well for me, and looks stunning. I am seeing tiny cracks in the corner, but I think they were caused by me. It's not the most durable case in the world, but at the very least, it will protect the laptop from scratches. The finish is a little strange and attracts fingerprints - but again, not a deal-breaker. I found this case heavily discounted on clearance, and would recommend giving it a shot especially if you find it on sale.

Thanks humanity - No more touchbar. M3 macbook pro. Its exactly what you expect, a small and fast MacBook pro. Minimilist and no bells and whistles at this price point. Dont expect anything groundbreaking. Esp if upgrading from the M-series already. If upgrading from an intel based apple, you will def discern a difference.

I was looking for a cheaper case to have because I wasn’t sure if I’d use it all the time or not, this is a pretty good option. It’s definitely not the most solid case but certainly prevents scratches or minor dings. I don’t love that it seems like the frosted finish shows finger prints, but for the price, I’ll deal with it.
