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.

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.

Fit is good but that is about it. The sides are already cracked already and I've taken the computer two places and it's been in it's sleeve. There are finger prints all over it that can't be cleaned off. Also important to note it doesn't protect the back of the computer. I expected better for $40. I'm probably gonna cover it in stickers and hope it covers the smudges.

Luckily I got this thing for $8 open box so as not to leave the Macbook Pro unprotected and Incase is not worth $60 for what they offer either. I bought Vinyl to cover the top cover because as other reviews say, the stains and fingerprints spread incomprehensibly and there is no way to remove them, it seems that a child ate on top of it. Plastic is plastic and I'm not complaining about it and even though it doesn't protect the back corner it does give me some peace of mind having it. But it's definitely not worth $40, not even more than $8. Best Buy should offer more alternatives, like Spigen for example.

I recently purchased the Insignia Hardshell Case for my 2021 MacBook Pro 14" from Best Buy, and I must say, it's a perfect match. This case deserves a five-star rating not only for its precise fit and protection but also for its incredible value.
The frosted clear design is sleek and minimalistic, complementing the stylish look of the MacBook Pro while allowing its original color to shine through. The case snaps on easily and fits securely, providing peace of mind that my laptop is well-protected from scratches and minor bumps without adding bulk.
One of the best aspects of this case is its value. The quality you get for the price is outstanding. It feels sturdy and durable, capable of withstanding everyday use while keeping the laptop looking new. The case also features well-placed cutouts for all ports, ensuring that functionality is not compromised.
Additionally, the rubberized feet on the bottom are a thoughtful touch, keeping the laptop stable and enhancing airflow to prevent overheating.
For anyone looking for effective, aesthetically pleasing, and affordable protection for their MacBook Pro 14", the Insignia Hardshell Case is an excellent choice. It offers superb protection and style without breaking the bank, making it an essential purchase for any MacBook user.

for good protection that maintain original look

This is a review of Insignia Hard-Shell Case for 2016-2020 MacBook Pro 13”. The review is based on MacBook Pro 2020.
It is a simple to install and give a clean but still maintaining the original color of the MacBook. Hands on the case, doesn’t feel much different form what would be without it. Bit slippery though. The space for ports looks clean and still providing enough distance between the edge of the case for practical usage to plug/unplug respectively each connectors.
The bottom protector has ventilation opening to prevent over-heating, and rubberized feet that elevate the MacBook a bit. As per the product description it is meant for avoiding slipping and sliding, if this is the case, I would have liked bit thinner or almost to none to make flat across. As is, although for usage might not represent discomfort, for placing in the bag sometime creates hassle as attempt to slide in and need to accommodate.
Other than description above, the case does maintain the original look of the MacBook giving some level of protection against possible scratch and dents while being also light and simple.

Great Protection, But Feels Fragile

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I've been using this case for my MacBook Pro for a while now, and while it definitely does its job in protecting the laptop, the case itself feels a bit delicate. The material gives off a slightly fragile vibe, almost like it could crack if I’m not careful with it. However, despite that feeling, it has proven to be very durable in terms of shielding my MacBook from scratches and minor impacts.
It fits perfectly, and I haven’t noticed any issues with the case slipping or interfering with the MacBook's functionality. The design is sleek and lightweight, which makes it easy to carry around. But if you're someone who drops your laptop often, you might want to go for something that feels sturdier in hand. Overall, it’s a great option if you're looking for solid protection, though the case itself might feel a bit flimsy at first touch.

Inexpensive insurance for an expensive laptop!

As my title says, I think this is case is an excellent insurance item for your very expensive MacBook Pro. As glorious as the aluminum shell of the MBP is, I have definitely seen my past models and others' get dented and scratched up with just general moderate mobile use.
If you can afford a one-thousand dollar plus laptop, there is no reason not to snag yourself one of these cases offered from Insignia at Best Buy. The install was easy and painless. There are no frills or unnecessary bells or whistles, just a good, snap on hardshell case with a secure fit. As a bonus, for this specific model 2016-2020, all of the speakers ports were cut in precisely the right location! Don't skip a case if you use your laptop as a mobile device (or at all really). If you need a case, this is a great, inexpensive option! Thanks for reading and good luck with your new case!

Protective, elegant and grippy

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I’d been looking for a lightweight and protective case for my MacBook Pro that keeps it looking elegant and I’m pretty happy with this case so far. I like the frosted matte look. It is fingerprint resistant while having some grip. All the ports remain accessible and it has cutouts for the air vents on the bottom. I’ll probably put some stickers on it later to add some flair hah. I don’t know if it’ll protect my laptop from a high fall, but I’m pretty confident in saying that it’ll protect it from getting scratched and scuffed from everyday normal use. And that’s all I really wanted. Would I recommend if? Yes! Absolutely! You spent a bunch of money on that shiny MacBook and I’m sure you want to give it some protection. It’s elegant and lightweight. Love it.

Great Value — But Quality Isn’t The Best

First of all, this is an incredible value for $14.99 (retail/online at time of purchase and review) that I don’t regret buying.
If you want a cheap, solid case for your MacBook this is a great option that still really lets the color come through, isn’t too thick, and is decently solid.
There are definitely detriments though. The biggest being that it’s prone to cracking on the corners VERY easily, I had this start happening around 6 months of ownership. Also definitely a fingerprint magnet, and liquid that gets on it may slightly stain the case.
But, nonetheless, I do recommend it.
I previously owned a brand-name competitor for my older model of rMBP which also did crack pretty easily, and that is partially just the nature of this, but the finish was much better. Depends on your value of a $15 vs $55 product.

This case fits the new MacBook 14 perfectly. It snapped right on just like other hard case and gives you the same basic protection for the MacBook.
It doesn’t have the fancy texture of other brand’s but it does the function of protecting your shiny MacBook 14 from dirt and scratches.

The case fits well, and seems like it will hold up for a little while. The only negative so far is that it definitely holds finger smudges a lot easier than I'd like, but at the sale price this case is a winner.
