Protect your MacBook Pro 15-inch with the only lightweight MIL-SPEC rated case

360-Degree Protection from drop, shock, and impact:

UAG’s patented hard armor shell and soft rubber bumpers have been designed to absorb impact from drops while protecting your MacBook Pro 15-inch. Our case cushions the energy from a drop by transferring the impact away from the laptop and spreading it through the outer shell, protecting it while a dual-lock screen closure makes sure your laptop stays shut, even through repeated drops.

Armor shell and impact resistant bumpers
Dual lock secure screen closure
Non-slip tactile grip
Cooling vents for uncompromised air flow
Meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6)

Easy access to all ports and air vents to keep things cool:

All ports have special cutouts for easy access while the device is being used or stowed, and air vents to keep the device cool under heavy use. Rubber skid pads prevent the MacBook from sliding on slippery surfaces and elevates the device for maximum ventilation. A tactical rubber non-slip grip on the hinge provides confidence when transporting the device and prevents accidental drops.

Trust in this product to protect your investment

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

If you're shopping around for a tough, durable, protective case for your new and expensive MacBook Pro - seriously this has to be on top of the list. I carefully review and spend time to compare a lot of different products before making a decision. I wasn't necessarily sold on a few of the bumper cases out there, and I decided I wasn't going to be satisfied with the cookie cutter snap-on thin covers that only protect against scratches, not necessarily be able to withstand an accidental drop or fall. Remember - this UAG case is military drop tested. This case really was a no brainer since I wanted to actually protect my new and expensive MacBook Pro. Some pros you will notice right away - design is clean and pleasing to the eye, the materials are durable and scratch resistant, the clips very secure around the laptop, the extra bumper material on the top corners are a nice little extra insurance.

One of the features I personally like is the locking feature when you close the laptop. I honestly do not know where some people are stating how it is difficult to open the laptop back up (even bothering some so much that they would return it). It's incredibly simple to work around - a small pinch of the rubber bumper outward will do the trick every time. I can see how some people may complain how it is hard to try to take this case off. First question I would have for them is, why are you wanting to take the case off to begin with... repeatedly? I don't think so.

Overall, my recommendation is yes absolutely this is worth the extra $ to protect your MacBook Pro. You should buy it if you're thinking about it.

Works and Fits perfectly... Super rugged...

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

So I'm a working commercial photographer and I need my computer on location to basically tether (stream) my photos from my camera to my laptop to look at a bigger picture and not a 3" LCD screen on the back of the camera. This "case" allows me the speed to setup.

While I don't mind using a sleeve case, I find that having a polycarbonate shell protects my investments (and my clients photos) from possible damage.

I have a new mid-2017 Macbook Pro Retina with Touch Bar A1707 and it fits like a glove.

One reviewer spoke about these small tabs by the edge of the wrist rest area protruding up... I don't find them to be a problem... I guess thats a preference sorta thing.

One thing I do wish they provided, was a "sticker" protector around edges, especially the back edge of the laptop. While I get why the back edge where the hinge is not covered in plastic... I wish they had some sort of sticker "skin" they would provide you with. But thats easily remedied with another company out there for a few extra bucks.

Another reviewer was talking about how his macbook was sliding around inside the case... well it's obvious that he/she didn't buy the right case, or bothered to follow the instructions properly. lol... I've got zero movement and flush corners and sides.

Best laptop protection EVER !

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

Aligning the case properly is critical for PERFECT performance. I wrote the seller and got prompt and friendly help. I now have the case perfectly aligned and the product is EXCELLENT. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a PROTECTIVE laptop case (not a pretty looking cover, which only looks good and that's all). This is designed to be a highly protective cover so that one can have peace of mind if the laptop drops or something drops onto your laptop. I have tried many different covers and this one is the best (its an otterbox for your laptop, not a pretty skin that will result in damage if your device is dropped or encounters impact)

Seems sturdy, super easy to install, a little tricky to remove

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I was hesitant to buy this case because of the significant number of negative reviews complaining of difficulty getting the top cover off without damaging the screen. I am able to remove it safely, just not exactly as shown in UAG's instructional video. Specifically, if you try to remove the side clips from both sides of your screen at the same time, you will probably have trouble.

I found that I can manipulate the top cover to slightly loosen the clips on one side so they can be unclipped without difficulty. Once one side is done, the other side can be unclipped the same way. It takes a little finesse and patience, NOT a lot of force.

If you find yourself putting a lot of force on it, or bending your screen, or damaging your fingernails, you are doing it wrong. STOP. Take a break. Calm down. Be patient and careful.

One person commented on YouTube about using one or two credit cards to facilitate removal of the side clips. That seems like a good idea, but I didn't have to do that.

Other than the removal issue...

I like the case a lot. It's very light weight and seems to provide a lot of protection where the screen is most likely to get damaged in a fall, i.e. the corners. Installation was very quick and easy - Just follow the provided instructions.

I recently dropped my trusty old Microsoft Surface Pro 2 and shattered the screen. Repair cost me almost $200, and finding someone who would do it wasn't easy. I really don't want to repeat that with my far more valuable MacBook Pro! This case is cheap insurance to supplement taking frequent backups of your data.

I'm sure the experience is different from one model to another. My MacBook Pro is a 15-inch with Touch Bar, model A1707.

Good sturdy strong item

Loved this item, I purchased, but I think it should have been around £30, but needed the extra protection. Did not want to drop it to try it out either. Just had my Mac book screen replaced, so went for this military proof one. My previous one was one of the cheaper covers and after a couple of years, started snapping off. Thanks.

Gut aber teuer

Reviewed in Germany on February 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

Ich habe dieUrban Armor Gear Schutzhülle (2016-2018) jetzt knapp eine Woche an einem MacBook Pro 15“ (2017). Das Case wirkt sehr wertig. Ich hatte davor eine billigere Variante, die sofort wieder zurückging. Die Montage gestaltete sich schnell und unproblematisch. Das Case ist extrem passgenau. Beim Topcase gibt es bei mir keinen Zwischenraum zwischen Case und Deckle des MBP (wurde in einer anderen Rezension bemängelt). Trotzdem kann es vorkommen, das kleinere Staubteilchen zwischen den Deckel und das Case gelangen. Keine Ahnung, wo die sich da reinmogeln. Ist aber kein wirkliches Problem.

Die Demontage des Topcases ist ein wenig tricky. Ich habe mich das erst gar nicht getraut, da es hier Berichte gab, dass sich das Display vom Book da bedenklich durchbiegen soll. Auf Youtube findet man jedoch ein Video zur Montage und Demontage des Cases von UAG. Sollte man sich anschauen. So einfach wie in dem Video dargestellt, läuft die Demontage jedoch nicht. ;) Zum Abbau des Topcases sollte man erst die beiden oberen Clips an der linken und rechten Seite lösen. Dann die beiden unteren links und rechts und dann das Case leicht nach oben schieben. Das Topcase sitzt schon ziemlich stramm. Ich brauchte pro Clip dabei schon beide Daumen auf einer Seite und man sollte wirklich beherzt drücken. Da biegt sich bezüglich Display dann auch nichts durch, eher hat man Angst, dass die Clips abbrechen.
Im verschlossenen Zustand liegt das Display mit einer kleinen Lücke plan auf dem Bottomcase auf. Der Grund dafür ist die kleine Erhöhung aus Kunststoff des Bottomcases am Trackpad. Diese passt genau in die Nut des Topcases und verhindert damit, dass beim Anfassen des Books an der Vorderseite sich das Display durchdrückt.

Das öffnen des Cases ist etwas ungewohnt, da man hier mit etwas Kraft die beiden Ecken des Topcases nach oben ziehen muss, was zu einem leichten Durchbiegen des Displays führen kann. Ob das problematisch ist, muss sich zeigen. Habe dazu bis jetzt jedoch keine Problemberichte gefunden.

Das Design ist sicher Geschmackssache. Ich mag‘s. Ob man dafür aber 70 EUR aufrufen muss? Vielleicht, ich habe zumindest nichts Günstigeres bei gleicher Qualität gefunden. Marktwirtschaft halt…

Es una carcasa DE SEGURIDAD 100% segura y fiable, no de "quita y pon"

Reviewed in Spain on February 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

La carcasa es perfecta para personas que usen el MBP para trabajar en exteriores y localizaciones como lo hago yo. Mi interior MBP tenía una carcasa similar de la misma marca y me salvo de tener que volver a comprar un portátil nuevo después de una caída, no hay nada mas seguro para tu portátil de trabajo que ésta carcasa, es una buena inversión.

Después de leer varios comentarios negativos de algunas persona he decidido aclarar algunos puntos:

- El que sea complicada (no imposible) de poner, asegura la sujeción correcta de la carcasa al chasis del portátil.
- La forma correcta de ajustarla es:
1. Colocar la carcasa abierta del todo en una superficie lisa y recta
2. Poner el chasis inferior y presionar para colocarlo hasta escuchar el "click" de los 7 puntos de sujeción que tiene, 2 en cada costado y 3 en el lateral (Touch Bar)
3. Cerrar el portátil y A CONTINUACIÓN poner la carcasa encima y presionar DELICADA y LENTAMENTE contra el chasis de la pantalla en cada uno de los 6 puntos de sujeción hasta escuchar el "click" de cada uno de ellos.

Todos los problemas que se pueden dar por la mala instalación es culpa nuestra al querer presionar la carcasa contra la pantalla "a la fuerza" para que entre, y es cuando podemos tener fisuras en la pantalla por la presión no adecuada. Personalmente pagué el pato hace unos años con una carcasa similar, por lo que me he dado el tiempo de escribir los pasos a seguir para que la gente confíe en éste producto que me ha salvado la vida (y la cuenta bancaria) muchísimas veces.

Aclarar que NO ES UNA CARCASA PARA QUITAR Y PONER, es un accesorio para una herramienta de trabajo. Si queréis una carcasa para cambiarla, no pierdas mas tiempo y no compre ésta, por que quitarla necesita mucha paciencia y delicadeza.

Espero que os haya servido la parrafada!
