Apple's MacBooks are pretty awesome, but they're also pricey. Depending on what configurations you opt for, the MacBook Pro can have a price tag as steep as $3,000. So you'd be foolish to not use a protective case — especially considering the fact that some repairs cost $1,000 or more. From affordable, ultra slim options, all the way to some luxe-looking leather picks, take a look at our favorite cases for your shiny new MacBook. They're stylish and will help you protect your investment.

Best Overall
Twelve South BookBook V2 13-inch MacBook Pro and Air Case

Also available for the 12-inch MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pro

There are few cases as unique as this one from Twelve South. It's made of real leather, and it resembles a hardcover book. The case not only protects your precious MacBook from thieves, but also against drops, dust, and spills. We prefer this Book-inspired case over Pad & Quill's Cartella Slim case because the latter leaves your ports exposed.

Details like its zipper that looks like a bookmark are what make this case so incredible. We loved that you can still use your Mac without removing it from the case, too, but dislike the distracting Twelve South logo on its interior.

Best for Extra Protection
Incase ICON Sleeve With Diamond Ripstop for 13-inch MacBook Pro and Air

Also available for the 15-inch MacBook Pro

The Incase Icon sleeve is a step up from our best overall pick, since it features a shock-absorbing protective frame and an interior lined with faux fur for extra support. This pick will keep your precious notebook scratch- and scruff-free at all times.

Made from high-quality fabric, the Icon sleeve has a nifty magnetic snap closure, which gives users easy access to their notebook. The sleeve is available in gray or black, and if you'd prefer a water-resistant variant, Incase sells a version made form Woolenex, which repels the elements better.
