Hard case for new MacBook Air?

December 30, 2020 3:27 PM

I would think this would be simple, but...I'd like one of those hardshell cases that you clip on to your laptop. I've ordered a few from Amazon but they don't allow me to open the screen beyond 90 degrees, which is not particularly useful. Are there specific brands that fit and will allow a full range of the screen movement?

I’ve had good luck with UAG cases on several laptops and travelled a lot in the Before-Times.

I'm typing this on a Macbook Pro which is open to more than 90 degrees and can be opened much further. It has a two-part snap-on case, which has been in uneventful use for three years or so, and looking back through my order history, it's this one. Not available any more but the description and brand name may be helpful.

I ordered this one (other designs available) and it lets me do that just fine. Unfortunately it has a little ridge right where I rest my wrist that is TOTALLY ANNOYING to me. ymmv.
