If you’re someone that’s looking for a new MacBook laptop for working on-the-go, than the Macbook Pro 13 (or 13-inch MacBook Pro) is a great choice to go with, as it is reasonably more powerful than Apple’s MacBook Air, which is the company’s entry-level laptop, but still fairly more affordable than Apple’s 16-inch Mac Pro. It’s worth noting that Apple’s recently released entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro models (which were introduced on November 10, 2020) now come with a new Apple M1 chip in place of their predecessor’s previously used Intel processor and graphics options. Now, while getting yourself a laptop designed for working on-the-go allows you to stay versatile with your work-flow and also keep up with any future work, that level of productivity will only last you for as long as your own Macbook Pro 13 will. That said, it’s extremely important to keep your Macbook Pro 13 safe both from unexpected bumps as well as from accidental drops. And to do that, we at GadgetGram recommend none other than the Incase Reform Hardshell for 13″ MacBook Pro.
The Incase Reform Hardshell is an ultra-durable protective laptop case for the 13-inch MacBook Pro that features two-ultra-protective layers by combining a sturdy scratch-proof polycarbonate co-molded outer shell with a resilient and shock-absorbing TPU inner layer for outstanding protection against unexpected shocks, bumps, knocks and drops.
Designed to be fully compatible with the Macbook Pro 13’s Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports while also featuring a Drop Protection Rating for up to 4ft. and Antimicrobial Defense for its two ultra-protective layers, this protective laptop case for the 13-inch MacBook Pro is simply one of the best on the market.
Moreover, this laptop case also features some very neat integrations like Rubberized Anti-Slip Feet, a Secure-Snap Cover Lock, and dedicated Air Vents that help ensure a decent level of ventilation for your Macbook Pro 13. In sum, this protective laptop case for the 13-inch MacBook Pro checks all the boxes for everything you’d want to see on a laptop case.
Now, without any further ado, let’s have a slightly more detailed look at each of the features offered by the Incase Reform Hardshell for 13″ MacBook Pro.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the Incase Reform Hardshell’s size, know that since this protective laptop case is designed to fit neatly around the body of your Macbook Pro 13, your 13-inch MacBook Pro will still maintain its ultra-slim form / design when having it equipped with the case, as the case only measures 12.2 inches long by 8.4 inches wide by 0.5 inches tall.
Moving on to the case’s design, this protective laptop case for the 13-inch MacBook Pro also features a sleek, minimalist and ultra-compact design that ultimately makes this case airport-security friendly.
Moreover, integrated within its design, this ultra-durable protective laptop case for the 13-inch MacBook Pro also features a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) 2020 cut-out that seats very neatly above your Macbook Pro 13’s Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports.
Now, what makes the Incase Reform Hardshel such a reliable protective laptop case is none other than its extremely durable dual-layer construction, which uses Parametric Shock-Dispersing Technology throughout its two combined layers of protection, which are a sturdy, scratch-proof polycarbonate co-molded outer shell and a resilient and shock-absorbing TPU inner layer for protection against shocks, bumps, knocks and drops.
To be a little more specific, on the outer side of the case, we have an extremely sturdy scratch-proof co-molded outer shell that’s made of high-quality Polycarbonate, which helps to keep your Macbook Pro 13 perfectly protected against any potential scratches, whether that’s from the surface you have it on, or from any of your EDC (everyday-carry) items, such as your house keys or car keys, your wristwatch, etc.
Additionally, at the front-side of the case, we also have Secure-Snap Cover Lock that keeps the case’s cover securely locked on, thus ultimately keeping the display screen on your Macbook Pro 13 perfectly protected.
Throughout the outer-side of the case, we also have a few separate dedicated Air Vents that come strategically positioned throughout the case’s body in order to align those “vent cut-outs” with your MacBook Pro 13’s exhaust portals, thus allowing your laptop to have a thorough ventilation, ultimately helping to keep the heat within your Macbook Pro 13 to a minimum.
On top of that, sitting at the bottom of the case’s outer-side, we also have a set of four (x4) Rubberized Anti-Slip Feet sitting at each corner of the case that prevent any sort of slippage, working great for most hard surfaces, whether that’s a wooden desk or table, a tabletop made of synthetic materials, or anything else in between.
Then, on the case’s inner-side, we have a resilient and shock-absorbing TPU inner layer that offers your MacBook Pro 13 outstanding protection against any unexpected shocks, bumps, knocks and drops that can potentially occur.
It’s also worth noting that the Incase Reform Hardshel’s dual-layer construction is rated to have a Drop Protection Rating for up to 4ft drops, which is mainly thanks to the case’s extremely resilient and shock-absorbing TPU border.
Last but not least, the case’s outer-layer is also thoroughly designed to give your MacBook Pro 13 an Antimicrobial layer of Protection that helps to prevent and eliminate up to 99.9% of surface bacteria that could otherwise just be caught onto your laptop’s surface.
