Great product protecting the $1000 Pixelbook

This is the second batch of such devices I have owned. The first was for an Acer Chromebook that I used in mCover for a year. It worked flawlessly and left the Chromebook in brand new condition. When I sold it I got more money for it than I paid for the case because it is in perfect condition. Now I just bought a more expensive Google Pixelbook and chose mCover to protect it. I bought transparent in both cases. I placed it on my Pixelbook and was pleased that it fit just as expected. It's thin,

How to change case to use in tablet mode!

I saw a lot of negative reviews about the impossibility of using the cover in tablet mode. I'm a school teacher and need to use my pixelbook in both modes so this was a deal killer for me. But being a DIYer I bought it and made a few modifications with a Dremel tool and now I can use it in tablet mode!

Pros
  • Worth the money

No privacy or desktop.

This laptop has many advantages, but had I known about the lack of privacy and the auto-erase function due to limited hard drive space, I would have chosen something else. To be clear (and I checked with the company), you cannot permanently store ANYTHING on a hard drive due to very limited hard drive space. This is a computer with no desktop at all. That means you're out of luck if you want to save a password file or whatever else you want to keep in your pixel book but NOT on disk. You can…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Unreliable

Strong, durable and secure

I know you can't fold your Pixelbook into tablet mode with this case, but as this is my work laptop I still don't do it very much often. So I rate this case based on quality only. I had an mCover case for my previous laptop (MacBook Pro) and was impressed with how well it withstood knocks and bumps as well as multiple airport and train rides. When I saw that this brand was making cases for my Pixelbook I was REALLY excited. They didn't let us down: the case is as reliable as its predecessor…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • So-so

Great Case - Computers and Accessories

Summary: Great case that more than makes up for the lack of tablet mode. First, I love that this case comes in orange. + for the color choice as it really contrasts with the white PixelBook. Second, it fits and feels so good that I can actually see myself wearing it for the life of the device. Almost 0 volume has been added as a bonus and it has rubber stoppers on the bottom so you don't lose traction! Now consider the minus. Loss of tablet mode. I find it excusable for the following reasons…

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Hard to say

Ideal for light protection from scratches and small bumps.

I bought this case to protect my Pixelbook from everyday light bumps and scratches. That's all this case will do for you. It has no padding and no air gaps for medium to hard hard hits or falls. But given that limitation, this case takes up very little space and adds bulk. Since I don't use my Pixelbook in tablet mode, I don't mind that you can't tilt it into tablet mode with the lid on, despite it being a thin design. The fit is snug and doesn't come off easily, which is great. The black…

Much better than what people say.

I would like to start by saying that despite the reviews on this product I took a risk. I understand why some buyers are upset. When using this case, you cannot use tablet mode. However, the case is really good in my opinion. 1) Even if you can't switch to full tablet mode with it, you can still work normally in kiosk mode. In addition, you can also remove the top cover very easily and switch to full tablet mode with the bottom cover. 2) Another person said the lid doesn't stay on, but I…

  • Good thing

Provides good protection but adds weight and limits tablet use

I love these cases and use them on several laptops. Over the years they have protected these devices to keep them looking brand new months and years later. The hard plastic does a great job of preventing dents going through skins and stick-on covers. The main downside is the extra weight, which can feel like a lot on smaller devices. In this case, the Pixelbook's biggest problem is that you can't completely close tablet mode.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Its worth it! Electronics

A great simple and elegant case for anyone who wants to protect their Pixelbook from dirt, dust, grime, smudges and scratches. I chose the clear sleeve for its simplicity, and also because one day I might still be able to present it in the hardcover sleeve if I decide to buy the vinyl. Putting it on was just as easy as taking it off, but I would refrain from taking it off. often to prevent it from weakening over time or even breaking part of it. It's really a preference as I don't use the…
