Review on MCover Hard Shell CASE For New 2020 15 Laptop Accessories by Matthew Frandsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Provides good protection for certain use cases, on the heavy side

I have several of these hard cases Bought for my laptops.They are great for my use case but there are many caveats if your use cases are different.Firstly they offer aluminum case laptops very good protection from dents,scratches and fingerprints.They don't have increased strength and therefore offer doesn't provide adequate protection from drops. Due to the open nature of the case, they allow for good ventilation, but that also means dust can get under the case. My use cases are 80% desktop use at home and 20% on the go or in my laptop bag and I'm happy with the protection it offers.As mentioned the ventilation is great very good. It doesn't *exactly* match the laptop's vents, but it doesn't seem to impede airflow. All ports are available without problems. The main disadvantage of these cases is the hard plastic that can (and will) crack. Most often, these malfunctions are associated with small clips that attach the sleeve to the laptop. Once they break, the case becomes unusable. At the same time, the hard plastic prevents the usual dents on the aluminum trim. Three years later, my laptops still look brand new on the outside. Other issues include the rubber feet that come loose after a few months, the relative weight of the case, and the almost useless feet that are too wobbly for comfortable use (and break). But I still give it five because it fits my use case perfectly. I have to prevent scratches and dents, pay little attention to weight and paint laptops depending on the project. After a few years, these cases look pretty worn, with scratches, soldering iron marks, faded spots where I spilled solvent, sticker residue, etc., but the laptops themselves look pristine.

Pros
  • ❇️ Fits perfectly on the 2020 Dell XPS 15 Series 9500 / Precision 5550 15.6" (diagonal) laptop (released after June 2020)
Cons
  • Style 90
