Investing in a great case for your MacBook Pro just makes sense. These laptops, which have gone through a number of size and configuration changes over the years, have remained high-end hardware available at an elevated price. The unibody aluminum design deserves to remain pristine, and besides, you don't want an accidental drop to cause a crack in the screen or other internal damage to performance parts.

The MacBook Pro makes up a big chunk of what we consider to be the best Macs on the market, and we've put together this broad list of worthwhile cases for all modern MacBook Pro models.

MacBook Pro 13 cases (2016-2022)

  • New Project-26
    ProCase Hard Case for MacBook Pro
    With kickstand

    This ProCase option for the 13-inch MacBook Pro has two kickstand feet to promote a much more comfortable typing angle. Beyond that, it's a rather heavy-duty case that protects the bottom and top portions from scrapes and bumps. It's available in a bunch of different colors, with some allowing you to keep most of the natural look of your laptop.

  • New Project-3-9
    KECC Wooden MacBook Pro Case
    Wood pattern

    I absolutely love the more natural look of this KECC case, compatible with the 13-inch MacBook Pro. It looks like it should cost far more than it does, yet the walnut-patterned shell is joined by a matching keyboard cover and sleeve. Don't like the dark walnut appearance? There are a bunch of other wood-grain patterns to check out.

A full range of our favorite MacBook Pro cases

The MacBook Pro has changed a lot over the years, so it makes sense that there are a bunch of different categories we need to look out for when suggesting cases. While this collection of cases doesn't cover every MacBook Pro ever made, it does handle most models that are still in regular use today.

Spigen, Casetify, Supcase, and UAG are all high-end options that will protect your MacBook Pro against drops, scrapes, and bumps, but you certainly don't need to spend as much if you're already someone who babies their laptop.

Adding a more simple case, like something from Mosiso or ProCase, can still prevent scratches and dents in the aluminum body, all at a more reasonable cost. And if you'd like to forego the hard-shell cases that clip onto the MacBook Pro, sleeves like those from tomtoc and Lacdo should be a much better option.
