Pricey, but...
OK...there's no two ways about it. This is EXPENSIVE. If you've sunk a small country's GDP into a MacBook Pro, why cheap out on the case? I've looked at a few of the much more economical alternatives, and I don't like the way they're built. If I'm going to trade my new MacBook Pro in for another one at some point, I want to make sure that it's in the best shape it can be in. Period. If I have to pay a little extra for that peace of mind, then so be it.PROS:Rubberized feet are stable and keep the laptop stationary.Rubberized corners feel more stable and secure than any of the alternatives. Should absorb the shock better in case I were to ever drop the laptop (which hopefully I won't) and, if nothing, won't crack/break off with repeated use.Low profile. In any dimension, it doesn't add much extra "bulk" onto the laptop. It's still every bit as portable as without the case.Textured surface is easier to grip, as advertised.All ports are easily accessible.Ventilation on the bottom is good.It just looks sharp. Props on the design of it. UAG makes a quality product.CONS:Price tag.That's it.Assuming you have the current model of the MacBook Pro 14, the fit is easy and the case snaps right on. If you have a pre-2023/24 model, it might be a different story. The fit is secure and won't just fall off on its own. Like I said above, if you paid all that money for a MacBook Pro, why skimp on the case if you have the option and the money? If you don't have the money, that's okay too. There are other cases out there that will probably keep the laptop looking nice. If you can swing it, though, you can't go wrong with this case (at least so far).

Good product but not perfect fit
This case for my mac was the best option for my rugged use. case fits almost perfect but the edges seem to be a bit off, i sanded the inside corners a but for a slightly better fit but the back rubber tabs if the bottom panel never sit flush like they are intended to. This does not interfere with case use though. the case is very well made and protects my mac from all angles. Semi-sold rubber feels slightly plasticky but feels great for impacts. Im satisfied with my purchase although product could be polished into a better fit.

It's nice but unfortunately not what I was thinking
I received the UAG case for my MacBook Pro 14" 2021 model. It is a really nice design and it does look as though it's very durable. It was easy to install and it does seem like it beats The other cases out right now. I like that it has the black borders and it's made with rubber so the bumpers are protected. One thing that I don't like is that the case doesn't snap onto the screen at all really. It's not flush so it leaves someone like me with my over analytical mind to think that the case isn't correctly fit for the MacBook Pro. I could be wrong and trust me I do think it's on correctly but I'm a bit fearful of it falling off the longer that I have it. It shouldn't be the case when you spend $80 on a case. This is just my opinion but based off of the previous reviews it seems to be a loose fit to the MacBook. I'll make a follow up post in a month or so.****UPDATE****So I emailed UAG’s customer service and inquired about the fit (or lack there of) and wouldn’t you know that they immediately replied asking for me reply with proof of purchase. I sent that immediately over per their request and a few hours later I received an email confirming the free case and shipping. There was another email from them saying please discard or defective unit. Now this is customer service.

Does The Job
I’ve had it for about ten weeks now. Snug fit. I have a 2024 M4 Pro. The cover packaging said 2023 and it was a tight fit. The top keyboard fit is difficult to get right - the flange securing the cover to the MacBook body is maybe 1/32” deep. That’s less than one millimeter.That matters to me because I have an older USB-C hub which uses both USB-C ports on the left side, which I used with an A1989 with a Mosiso light case. That case was light enough that I could cut out a wider slot to accomodate the hub - which was about 6” (150mm if you prefer) long. I don’t think this case is amenable to that, so I have to remove the left side, then re-attach it. So I will eventually have to spring for a new USB-C hub to attach all the USB-A stuff I still have.Probably not a problem for very many people, though.I haven’t dropped it yet, and don’t plan on doing so. I think the Urban Armor will work OK - the corner guards seem reasonably sized. There is a gap on the back that’s not covered when the laptop is closed - dropping it at just the right angle could expose the outside of the MacBook to some damage.I would probably buy this cover again.

Highly recommended - Great case that has kept my laptop in perfect condition throughout travels.
I love this case! It feels, looks, and most importantly IS rugged. I have had this for my Macbook I got in 2023 and the first thing I looked for when I got a a new Mac M4 was to see if this company had a compatible cover.This case has been a solid companion to my Macbook. It is strong but non-intrusive. My computer has traveled with me extensively and this is the only brand I trust for the new heavier Macbooks.With my last Macbook, I went through 3 of the flimsy plastic cases offered by other brands. This is a solid investment and I am still on the first one that I purchased, and it looks as good as the day I got it. Thank you! This is highly recommended!
