Best MacBook Air cases in 2024 (2024)

Because of its diminutive size, the MacBook Air can easily be slipped into a large purse or briefcase. But if you want something designed specifically for this Apple laptop, you should consider opting for a dedicated case. And a nice one at that.

Apple recently announced the 2022 MacBook Air which features the company's new M2 chip which the company is promising notable improvements in performance. The notebook also sports slimmer bezels, an improved webcam and a sleek redesign.

So, if you're in the market for a new MacBook Air case, check out the following options. At least one should satisfy your quest for a compelling case to keep your Apple laptop protected.

If you're looking for a hard shell case that can keep your MacBook Air safe, the MOSISO Plastic Hard Case might be a good place to start. It comes in myriad colors, including red, black, blue and orange, and envelops the computer with a hard shell. It also comes with a screen protector to keep your screen safe. Bonus: It features full venting, so your Mac won't overheat.

If you're not so concerned about protecting your MacBook Air's clamshell and would instead prefer a carrying case, consider the Inateck Sleeve Case Cover.
