6 Tips to Physically Protect your MacBook

The MacBook is a beautiful machine, but it's just as vulnerable as any other laptop. In fact, it's made of a perfect unibody construction made of aluminum, which makes it look much worse than other devices when damaged. 6 Tips for Physically Protecting Your MacBook You can avoid possible damage to your MacBook by taking safety precautions. So, in this article, we'll show you six things that can help you physically protect your MacBook and keep it safe for a long time. Let's get started.

1. Apply a screen protector to prevent scratches

The MacBook's Retina display is iconic, but it's also very fragile. To protect it from scratches, put on a screen protector like Supershieldz. Watch the video above to see how to do it safely. In the opinion exchanged on Stack Exchange, one of the drawbacks of the MacBook is that it leaves keyboard marks on the screen. The worst thing is that this mark cannot be erased. However, if you have a screen protector attached, you can solve it by simply replacing it with a new screen protector. That's why screen protectors are a necessity to protect your MacBook's screen.

2. Use the body case and keyboard cover

Next to the screen, the MacBook chassis and keyboard (albeit well-built) are the most vulnerable. Here's how to protect it. Protecting your enclosure First and foremost, don't put your MacBook in a location where it's likely to fall. With just this one step, you can minimize most unforeseen circumstances. Then attach the snap-on hardshell case to your MacBook. There are generally two types of such cases, each with a different level of protection. A regular case like MOSISO maintains the sophisticated design of your MacBook and protects it from small shocks. A sturdy case like the UZBL provides stronger protection against drops. These cases fit into your MacBook's chassis and are easy to remove. However, dust can also get in from the top of the case, so you'll need to clean your Mac from time to time. Keyboard Protection Keyboard keys aren't easily damaged, but spilling liquid can be fatal to your MacBook. The best way to minimize this risk is to use a silicone MacBook keyboard cover (or "key guard"). Another benefit of using such a key guard is that it prevents small particles such as dust and hair from getting into your keyboard. These things can affect typing.
