Whether you work from home or commute to and from the office, the number one thing that you need for a functional workday is certainly your laptop.
In the 21st century we’re living in, the laptop is essential for most jobs, and certainly much appreciated when relaxing at home as well — offering endless opportunities for online shopping on the couch, streaming shows in bed and playing music at a house party.
Want to know the second most important thing you need? A safe and durable case to protect that laptop.
The first thing you’ll want to do is check the size and specs of your computer (easily find this in the system preferences on your laptop, or on the underside of the physical device.) Once you know what size to search for, the rest is the fun part.
Read on for the best laptop case brands you can shop that offer protection as well as style with fun designs, all available to buy online — right from your laptop! Inception, huh?
1. HP
Head to HP for laptop cases built to last and offer premium protection. They have options for all shapes and sizes, with laptop sleeves, work bags and even backpacks to choose from on the site right now.
2. Lenovo
Protect your tech with a case from Lenovo. You don’t need that same brand laptop, either, as the soft carrying cases can fit most other sizes, just be sure to check the measurements on the Amazon page. This 15-inch sleeve is stretchy and can also fit a 16-inch model, while most any size will fit in this stylish briefcase.
3. Amazon Basics
There’s nothing bad about keeping it basic, so long as the protection is top-notch. That’s why we like the offerings from Amazon Basics, with options for soft-sided laptop cases, backpacks and even this large bag that fits a laptop up to 17.3 inches.
4. Casetify
If you use a MacBook, take a bite out of this apple. The Casetify site has a bunch of choices for those that have an Apple laptop, with hard, snap-on cases as well as soft-sided sleeves. Shop by size, from an Air 13-inch to the largest MacBook Pro 16-inch version.
5. Pelican
Your computer is precious cargo. Treat it as such, with the heavy-duty offerings from Pelican. The brand makes cases out of super strong ABS material, stainless steal hardware and lined with foam for a cushion to protect the contents.
6. Leatherology
Outfit your laptop in leather — why not? Leatherology has a few great options for laptop sleeves, with the ability to emboss a monogram, as seen on this 16-inch sleeve and this stylish envelop sleeve.
7. Incase
Just in case you have a MacBook that needs a cover, Incase is here. The brand sells hard, snap-on shells for most sizes of MacBooks, including the Pro and the Air.
8. MOSISO
Head back to Amazon for this highly-rated brand, with their very own storefront and many options to shop. MOSISO has a great dropdown menu for all models of MacBooks, as well as choices for sleeves that can fit a variety of brands and bags that can do the same.
