Nice case and snaps into place easily. The blue is muted when not lit up. Becomes very obviously blue the more light you give it. Easily can see the Apple logo through the case.

Snaps right on. When I first bought this, it felt really flimsy and not worth the money but now that I have it actually on my laptop it feels durable. Great color too.

This protective case is perfect. It’s slim, it protects the all the edges I want to be protected. It’s very durable. I’ve had this for over a year and I’m so happy with it. I went ahead and bought a second protective case. It was easy to install and it’s easy to remove.

I love the dark green color of this case and the textured feel to it. But that is all. Purchased in october, noticed a couple of months ago there was already a crack in the top corner of the case. There is now one on the bottom corner too. Once the first crack started, it began to crack more and a small piece of plastic broke off the edge, so it is only a matter of time before I will have to replace the case already. The thing is, I didn't even drop my computer. The only cause I can think of is when I carry it in a backpack and maybe it happened to be set down at just the right angle for it to crack. Even then it is in the laptop pocket of the bag which has padding. Either way, for a $50 case, I expected much greater durability. On my old MacBook, it took at least a year for my $20 case from Amazon to break. Disappointed.

Reliable Protection and Stunning Aesthetics

I recently purchased the Incase Hardshell Case for my 2021 MacBook Pro 14" in the stunning Fountain Blue color, and I am absolutely thrilled with the product. This case offers the perfect combination of reliable protection and impeccable style, making it an excellent choice for MacBook users who want to keep their device safe while showcasing their personal flair.
First and foremost, the level of protection provided by this hardshell case is outstanding. It fits the MacBook Pro 14" like a glove, securely enveloping it without adding unnecessary bulk. The sturdy construction guards against accidental bumps, scratches, and minor impacts, ensuring that my laptop remains in pristine condition. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that my MacBook Pro is shielded from daily wear and tear, extending its longevity.
The Fountain Blue color option is an absolute showstopper. It adds a vibrant and refreshing touch to my MacBook Pro, instantly elevating its appearance. The hue is perfectly balanced, neither too bright nor too dull, and it complements the laptop's sleek design flawlessly. I often receive compliments on the color, as it stands out in a sea of generic laptop cases.
The case is thoughtfully designed, allowing full access to all ports, buttons, and features of the MacBook Pro. I never have to remove the case to connect my charging cable or use any peripherals, which is a convenient feature that enhances the overall user experience. The precise cutouts and strategically placed vents ensure optimal heat dissipation, preventing my laptop from overheating during prolonged use.
One of the aspects I appreciate most about this Incase hardshell case is its ease of installation. It snaps onto the MacBook Pro effortlessly, requiring no additional tools or complicated maneuvers. The rubberized feet on the bottom provide a stable grip, preventing the laptop from sliding or slipping on various surfaces. Additionally, the case is easy to clean and maintain, maintaining its beautiful appearance over time.
In terms of value for money, this case is an excellent investment. Its durable construction and reliable protection justify the price tag, ensuring that my MacBook Pro remains protected for years to come. Furthermore, the attention to detail in the design and the inclusion of a stunning color palette make it a worthwhile purchase for those who prioritize both style and functionality.
Overall, the Incase Hardshell Case for the 2021 MacBook Pro 14" in Fountain Blue has exceeded my expectations. Its seamless fit, robust protection, and eye-catching aesthetics make it an exceptional choice for MacBook Pro owners. If you're looking for a reliable and stylish case to safeguard your MacBook Pro, I highly recommend considering this Incase offering.

Looks really nice on my 14" MacBook Pro, the color goes really well with space grey. It fits well, it feels like it protects the surface as well as the top. Really don't hesitate to put it on anything. Worth the money if you want your MacBook to be in pristine condition for a while.

Another Solid Incase Product

I've been using Incase MacBook cases on and off since 2007, and I've generally liked all of their products. When I first got my MacBook Pro 14" in October of 2021, there weren't many case options on the market. I picked one up on a certain website named after a river, and it held up until recently. I saw this on sale in the "Fountain Blue" and I jumped right on it. It's a much better design that I can already tell will do a better job of keeping dust, lint, and animal fur out of the case. It's also a lovely shade of green-ish blue that reminds me of the Bondi Blue that Apple put on iMacs and iBooks in the late 90s and early 2000s. So it's a fun retro throw back for the pre-iPod/Intel era Apple users out there.

Minimalist protection, nice aesthetic

I wanted to protect my new MacBook Pro 14" without detracting from its aesthetics. It's impossible to do as Apple designed the device to be so clean and aesthetically pleasing. Any case will take away from its appeal. However, of all the options I've seen, this one seems to keep with its sleek design the best.
I first purchased a much more bulky case with thick black bumpers and a clear case. It was heavy and unwieldy, and the clear case always looked smudged and imperfect.
This case, on the other hand, doesn't really seem to add any bulk to the device. I can tell that there's extra weight when opening and closing the laptop, but it's very minimal and unobtrusive. What I really like about the aesthetic is the color and the texture. The case has mini dots which provide a very subtle but pleasing texture, which is a great defense against the blemishes, smudges and scratches that develop in a perfectly clear case.
I purchased the Forest Green, which is accurately represented in the stock photographs. I haven't really seen a color I like more, but of course that's personal preference.
The case is extremely easy to install or remove, so if you'll sometimes want the case and other times prefer to run without it, this is a great option. It's not going anywhere unless you want to take it off though.
Understand though that this is for MINIMAL protection. If I drop my laptop, I don't expect this to protect it. There is no internal bumper system, no rubber edges or anything. In my opinion, this is to prevent against scuffs and scratches specifically. I have Apple Care for drops and big damage, and I have this to keep the externals looking fresh and clean. If you expect this to save your laptop from big drops, I'd say it won't meet your expectations. This is minimalist, which is exactly what I wanted, so it's perfect.
I highly recommend it if you can get it on sale. I purchased on a deep sale (for my 2023 MacBook Pro by the way... the 2021 cases are compatible) so the value was ridiculous. For full MSRP I might be a little hesitant, given that you are getting something very minimal here. Regardless, if you'll run it all the time and you like the aesthetics, it may be worth it.

The color is much better than I expected. It actually looks like a decent purple in my room light. I only paid five dollars for it after Best Buy rewards. It snaps right on to my laptop and took a few seconds to put on. It is basically like one of those cheap phone cases you get to protect your phone without being bulky.
I don't know if this case would do ANYTHING if the laptop was dropped, but I figure it will prevent the top and bottom from getting wet at least.
I originally was going to cover it with stickers, but I think a black one would be better for that. This looks fine as is to me.
If you are thinking this is something like an OtterBox, you'll be disappointed. Its a basic plastic case.

This was a really serendipitous find - I got it on clearance when I was thinking about getting a different clamshell case. It just so happened that this was the exact color I wanted and Incase is one of my favorite case manufacturers, although their selection is a limited more limited than it once was. Would've been a good purchase even at full price.

Protects my INVESTMENT quite well. Hard case, adds some weight to the laptop but it’s built pretty solidly. I actually have a bit of a crack in a part of the case and it’s still holding up well. Would recommend to anyone who wants an inexpensive way to protect from scratches or dings to their $2000 (at the time) laptop.
