Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Thule Vectros MacBook Pro Bumper 15-inch (TVBE3156), Black by James Broome

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Takes most of the pressure out of my backpack. Blocks airflow for fans

No big deal. I got it because I noticed some discoloration on my 2017 MBP after carrying it in my backpack (the laptop bag is right against my back). This provided the necessary weight support I was looking for so everything was on the monitor/laptop body itself. I don't see it protecting the laptop very well if dropped more than a foot as it's made from lightweight plastic consists. However, it does block a significant amount of airflow when the monitor is wide open. Looking at thermals with and without it's about 5 cents more with the case and the fans run about 30% more. So while it does what I need it to do, it could do better as a general purpose protective case.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Almost never
