Tech21 MacBook Cases

Have you ever dropped your laptop? Had one of those heart-stopping moments  when it's falling to the ground as if in slow motion, and you don't know if it's going to be okay? I have, and I remember the event clearly. I was standing outside JFK airport in New York with a trolley full of luggage after arriving on a flight from Los Angeles. I sometimes travel with a soft backpack designed to carry my MacBook; the event happened as I went to save a suitcase from falling off the trolley, and in the process the backpack slipped off my shoulder and hurtled to the ground. Only later at our hotel I realised the damage which had be done; fortunately the MacBook was still working and the screen intact, but the corner it landed on was dented quite badly. Only months later, the computer failed entirely and had to be thrown in the bin. 

I've since carried my MacBook in a sturdier padded bag which isn't that light, and slipped it into a sleeve to protect the delicate silver case. That is until now. I recently discovered Tech21 cases, and have been able to revert back to my soft backpack without concern. These cases, which come in a variety of colours and styles to suit MacBooks and MacBook Airs, are stylish and slim fitting protection for your Mac on the go. The key to their success is a layer of FlexShock Impact Material, which absorbs, dissipates and repels the shock from any accidental drops or bumps. Like when you're trying to save your suitcase and your laptop hurtles to the ground. 

The case is super easy to fit to your computer; it comes with a base and a lid which "snap" on safely and securely, giving your computer protection within seconds. The colours on offer include clear, purple, pink and black so you can customise your look. They don't add any weight to your Mac, and although I haven't had the courage to throw my MacBook to the ground, I know it's well protected. Tech21 also has a range of protective cases for iPads, iPhones and other smart phones. We're giving away a selection in a new holiday competition…..check back here soon for more info!
