Review on MOSISO Protective Case Bundle For MacBook Pro 16" - Hard Shell, Keyboard Cover, Screen Protector, And Storage Bag by Jason Lockwood

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I wouldn't say not to buy it, but try not to have high expectations, either.

I bought this case when I bought my laptop because I wanted to protect my investment. I had no expectation that this case would be rugged and able to handle all kinds of adverse incidents, but if nothing else, I wanted to be able to wipe the exterior down after spending entire days working in germy environments without wiping and potentially harming the computer itself.In terms of color, I love it and have no complaint.In terms of size and fit, the case is slim and doesn't add bulk. I saw and was concerned by a number of reviews that said it did not fit well; I can say that the case fit my computer appropriately.That being said, I had also purchased a two-pronged USB-C hub that allows for a number of USB / HDMI / SD card connections. I found out the hard way that I was not able to use it. The little bit of bulk the case adds kept me from getting a good connection to the hub. I had to return it and obtain one that uses a short wired connection instead (which works fine, I might add).As for the installation, there's definitely a knack to it. Early on, I frequently encountered the case popping off the computer, despite thinking I had installed it correctly. Somewhere along the way, I put it back on and it stayed put. I'm assuming earlier issues were a result of operator error. You really do just have to get it just right to get the case to stay on.As for the materials - FLIMSY. I've found little plastic splinters that sheared off the case on a number of occasions. I've also noticed that the corners of the case are chipping away. I keep my computer in a padded sleeve which I then slide into a secured, padded compartment of a computer carrying bag. I don't throw my computer around and have not dropped it once, yet the plastic in the corners is breaking down.
