Key Features

• Exact model fit: Designed specifically for Model A1534 (MacBook 12 in, Release 2015-2017) so users who check the model on the laptop back can expect a close fit.
• Slim two-piece design: The snap-on top and bottom pieces keep the case thin and allow easy installation or removal without tools.
• Protection against everyday damage: The hard plastic shell helps prevent scratches, dust accumulation and light spills while maintaining access to cables and chargers.
• Heat management: The vented bottom and rubberized feet provide room for heat dissipation and stable placement on desks.
• Translucent styled top: The translucent upper shell accepts the Leaves pattern while still letting some of the MacBook finish show through for a personalized appearance.
• Port access: Cutouts allow charging and headset plugs to be used without removing the case for convenience.

Who It's For
