Moshi iGlaze Hardshell Case for MacBook Pro 16-inch (Thunderbolt 3/USB-C), MacBook Cover, Scratch Protection, Easy Installation and Removal, Good Heat Dissipation, Stealth Black

It took me a surprisingly long time to find a hard case for my 2019 16″ MacBook Pro. I did a ton of research and still wasn’t sure what to get. I’m happy with this one, it’s not a TON of protection, like I still wouldn’t feel great dropping it, but it’s sleek, fits well, provides some protection and good heat dissipation.

i’ve used different brands and styles of cases for my macbook pros over the years. i’ve used impact protective cases such as the Thule Vectros, thin/low profile cases such as Incase Hardshell and hybrid cases such as Tech21 Impact Snap cases. tend to stick to brand names, simply because of some experience with budget brands like Supcase – i had an experience with a case they make for ipads where the case actually damaged my ipad. Some cases made of more harder plastic can cause damage and scratch your macbook finish when you try to install or remove it.
for my latest macbook i decided to buy this Moshi case to try it out. As with any low profile protective case, do not expect a miracle if you drop your computer – even a case designed to absorb impact can only do so much to support a 3-5 lb. device if it falls to the ground.

in the context of what this case is made for, which is to protect from very minor bumps on corners and scratches, it seems to do well. installation and fit are probably it’s highlights – it is incredibly easy to install and remove. fitment is very good, i dont see any flex or buckling of the case anywhere across the top and bottom covers and this is good to help keep out large pieces of debris. i’m sure small dust and very fine grains smaller than sugar grains might make their way in over time but most stuff that could lead to scratches probably wont get in between the case and the computer.
as far as flexibility, i see how this product is advertised but i wouldnt go that far as to twist or bend the case like that myself. the flexibility though does make this case more durable.
the rubber feet on it line up well with those on the macbook pro and are grippy enough to keep it from sliding off a table in case someone unfortunately trips on your power cord (no guarantees there). but the finish on the case is not grippy (like Tech21’s Impact Snap case) and as a result of that, if you have it resting on a bed, couch or some fabric surface, it will tend to slide easily. expect it to move around if you put it on the seat in your car and go for a drive (whereas with the Tech21 case it would be much less likely to move on a vehicle seat).

overall, and price-wise, this is a decent case but just slightly overpriced compared to competitors in the same category of style and protection. but it’s a one-time purchase and given that it will last some years, i dont mind the cost – it will help keep the resale value of your macbook pro a cut above what it would be had you not used any case at all.

Exactly what you need to protect your new MacBook pro 16in – very slim and just the right amount of protectio
