Very nice product!
I have a Surface Pro in a leather type cover and case, and I recently saw a nice HP that was built into a leather folio. I like leather cases on devices, for one reason it allows them to blend in on my car seats. This makes me less worried someone will notice them and break in to steal them if I run into a store quick. I also personally think they just make the device feel better in the hand and it adds a little classiness to the device. So naturally, after I decided not to abandon my Surface Pro (provided by my employer) in favor of one of the HP leather folios, and came to my senses about the ability to slot my MacBook in a leather case, I searched for such an item. My search led me to multiple places, but I decided on this one. Why? The price, the product images, the color, and the reviews. Am I personally disappointed, nope!
Pros:
Price! This was probably my top reason for buying. I would have obviously preferred real natural grain leather, but this is decent and priced really fairly.
Quality. The product pictures looked decent. At the price point, I though what I usually think with this kind of purchase; for that price, I’ll replace it if it’s not decent. I’m not disappointed. The stitching seems machine stitched, but the materials appear to be quality and it seems made to hold up. The thread isn’t popping loose, like when cheaper threads are used. I’m actually a computer engineer professionally. This is important to this topic. If you’ve ever watched a labor and delivery nurse, you know why! They work with babies. You seen one scrub one?! Not gentle! (Not knocking nurses! My wife is one. Most know what they are doing and do an impossible job for most of us!) I’m just saying that they aren’t hurting the babies, but they don’t handle them like a new parent does; like they are porcelain and may break them. I have some, they don’t break easily, btw. Now, imagine how I handle my computers! I can break them, but I have the means and ability to fix them if I do. I come home and usually throw my computer bag on my bed. If I do any work at night, which I frequently do, I probably toss my computer (loose out of the bag) at my bed as I walk by to go to my master bathroom at least once. The case holds up!
Feel. I want to distinguish this from quality. The case seems to be well made, yes, but it also feels really nice. It’s not just held together well, it doesn’t get in the way, it adds a dimension to my MacBook, it has features like a spot for a pen that’s out of the way but convenient, and the leather (although synthetic) actually looks and feels nice. I wasn’t sure how the feel or the quality were going to work out, but honestly I’m not disappointed at all.
Aesthetics. No odd variations to color, discolorations, or damage to the exterior skin of the PU leather. I’ve experienced this issue with a natural grain leather before, but I would suspect some of this is mitigated just by using the synthetic product. Either way, it’s aesthetically pleasing.
Durability addition to your device. I wasn’t looking for this to be a protective case. I was interested in this almost solely for aesthetic reasons. Still, it feels like it definitely adds to the durability of my device. I wouldn’t want to drop it from any height, but I don’t know how anything would scratch the top or bottom now, and I actually would feel better dropping it in this than dropping it without it!
Cons:
The PU leather put me off a bit at first, but that in itself is the only reason I list this as a negative. The PU leather is actually good looking on this, seems to be quality synthetic leather, and the overall quality of assembly makes me much more trusting of the choice of materials. At this price point, you won’t find any that aren’t using PU leather, if they say they aren’t I’d be skeptical!
Putting this thing on. So this is my only real “Con”. They actually show how it’s added on to your MacBook in their photos, so it wasn’t a surprise. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d be in favor of it before I got it, and I was actually less enthusiastic about the way to equip this accessory once I was doing it. My 2019 13” MacBook Pro with Touch Bar had to have the screen tilted backward to its limit. Then I was able to pull the case over the edge of the screen and tilt the screen back upright. This felt like I was on the very verge of actually damaging my computer. Now if you read above, I said I’m abusive to computers typically. I’m a computer engineer (but I work on windows typically - this is my personal device bought for hobby coding) and I can typically fix any damage I’ve caused, but I feel like I’m about to crack the screen. It doesn’t damage the screen (one reason I’ve not taken away points), but I don’t like it! Seeing how it goes on, and realizing that a ‘click on’ style wouldn’t really work as well for this case, I have no better suggestion. As much as I dislike how this thing goes on, I think it’s probably the best way (the other reason I didn’t take points) to accomplish that task.
Overall, really nice looking case that I plan to have for a few years and hasn’t shown me any reason that I won’t be able to.

*REVIEW FROM A STUDENT*
This is exactly what I was looking for! I recently purchased a 2019 MacBook Pro 13”, and I didn’t want it to get scraped up in my backpack. I’m a law student, so I’m constantly sliding my MacBook in and out of my backpack going to and from school, and I didn’t want the metal spirals on my notebooks scratching the exterior of my Mac. This is perfect! The black (p)leather seems to hold up well (I’ve only had this case for about 4 days) and the exterior of the case doesn’t scuff.Additionally, I was looking for something with a little padding, but still allowed my MacBook to close well enough to go to “sleep” mode. This is great! It’s got a little padding on the outside, but my MacBook sleeps and wakes normally with this case.My deal-breaking feature in buying a case was for it to have FULL coverage of the space below the keyboard, next to the trackpad on both sides. I didn’t want the oil/sweat from my hands smearing it up. I’m also wimpy and I hate the cold metal on my hands/wrists when I’m using the trackpad or typing on the keyboard.Added Features:• The pen holder is a nice touch, but I use pens with silicon grippers, so it’s not as effective for me. If you’re just wanting to keep a plain Jane pen with you, though, it’s perfect for that.• The folder on the front is great for a small (read: thin) notepad. It also fits 8.5”x11” paper in it! It’s great if you just need a place to store quick notes or something of the sort.• The screen-holder-thingies fit my MacBook SNUG. The problem I had with my old case was that these holders either let the screen part slip out and then the case would flop back, or they crossed over the screen so I couldn’t see either end of the menu bar at the top of the display. These holder-thingies are both snug and non-obstructive (is that a word? We’re gonna roll with it).Durability:• I’ve only had this case for 4 days, so I’ll update this after finals week (a month from now)!
