Soonjet for MacBook Pro 16 inch Case M5-M1 2026-2021 Pro/Max, Matte Black

[[EDIT: As of June 14, 2024 I still recommend this case. By now, all of my other cases from other brands would have started chipping, made out of cheap plastic. This has held together good as new!]] I don't count Vine Customer reviews as reviews because one's opinion of a product is going to be far more positive if they didn't have to pay for the item but still get to use it, so with no other written reviews about this case I was pretty hesitant. The primary reason I chose to get it is because it fulfilled some of the details below that other cases didn't, and I looked at the brand's other products that have decent reviews from a variety of different customers that are real. PURPOSE I was looking for a case that does NOT have ventilation cutouts at the bottom, specifically because the way my laptop stands on my desk (using an external monitor) I didn't want the extra visual detail. I was also looking for a case to make my laptop darker to, again, reduce visual interest and let it blend in with the background more. This helps me focus and keeps my desk simple. As I'm very careful with my device I don't even care much for super durable cases. PRODUCT Surprisingly good! The plastic has a nice feel to it, there's almost a "softness" that makes it pleasant to hold. It also feels sturdy. It actually feels better than the laptop itself which I find funny. There's also 100% coverage of the laptop itself (except for ports of course) as promised, so corners are fully protected. Appearance is accurate as can be with online images. I got the darkest option available and my gray laptop now looks a very dark gray or slightly off-black. Great fit, super easy to snap on. I've been having so much trouble finding cases that actually fit snug to the laptop and stay that way--the Macbook is so slim it seems a lot of product designers for laptop cases are having trouble figuring out how to keep the case on without touching the screen and getting in the way, but this one does it really well! Laptop can also close perfectly all the way. The foot grips are a great touch. They have a texture at the bottom to increase friction so your laptop doesn't slide around. They aren't cheapie 5 cent grips. Usually no one even thinks about these. They give the impression that they'll be there for a long time and not fall out like most do. I'm not going to drop my laptop to put the product to an actual durability test, but should it happen by accident I'll come back and let you know the state of my device, or if the corners just start cracking all on their own through gentle use like some cases do. So far, I definitely recommend the case.

Exactly the case I needed for my MacBook Pro 16 inch laptop. It fits perfectly without losing my laptop's original space gray color. In fact, it makes my laptop look even better with that matt and glossy look while providing a nice protective cover to my laptop.

I have used this case for just over four months for my space black 16 inch M3 MBP. I had already tried another brand that wasn't very good quality, and this one cost twice as much as the others on Amazon (but still cheaper than name brands, and in my opinion, better quality!), but I'm so glad I took a chance and got this one! And I can promise you, I do not treat it delicately with kid gloves. I'm not overly hard on it, but I do take it out put it down, take it out, put it down all day long nearly every day of the week. so far there are absolutely no cracks, no scratches, and I cannot see any fingerprint smudges. I've even dropped it two or 3 feet a couple times. the only complaint I have is that the frosted black is a little too dark and I can only see through to the Apple logo if I have it under good lighting or at just the right angle, which is important to me so that I can quickly tell which side is the opening that needs to face me (with the cheaper case I had tried before, I was not able to see through at all under any light, unlike the listing page showed.) I also had a different brand of case for my 2019 Mac, which I am also using to compare, and it does have some cracks at the corners, and likes to come off if you don't grab it exactly right. The fit is exact and seamless, with no weak points where the ports are, so I'm not worried it will break off like my other one did. The weight on the MacBook lid is not so much that it pulls the lid down with gravity, which the case, yet another brand, on my 2012 MacBook Pro does. The bulk and weight it adds to the MacBook itself is negligible. in fact, when I was at a meeting last week, one of my colleagues told me they didn't even realize there was a case on my Mac because it is so formfitting and exact. I was very tempted to write a review earlier, but made myself wait so that I could give an accurate assessment after a handful of months. I hate when people people leave a review two days later on products where durability is a factor. Did I mention I love this case? Worth every penny! ps—I also love the keyboard cover. When I read about it, I thought "that's neat—if it works, great, if not, no biggie." It wasn't going to influence my decision about the case, but after using it—it's so form fitting (the only part of the keyboard that isn't covered is the touch button.) At least two times I thought I had lost it when I was distracted by the phone, and didn't realize I had actually set it down on the keyboard—it blends in that well. That's when I noticed I could tell if it's on or not by looking at the touch key. It's transparent enough to easily let the backlights show thru. It made this whole buying experience that much better and worth the price!

Good quality. Looks good, fits good.

I bought this for my 16-inch MacBook Pro M5 Max, and overall it seems okay if your main goal is to protect the laptop from everyday scratches. The matte clear look is simple, and it keeps the MacBook’s original appearance pretty visible. That said, I don’t think this case would do much to prevent or absorb damage from a real drop. It feels more like surface/scratch protection than actual impact protection. The material also makes the 16-inch MacBook Pro feel noticeably bulkier and heavier, which matters because the laptop is already large and heavy on its own. For my use case, I decided to return it and go with a protective sleeve instead. I think a sleeve makes more sense if you want protection while carrying the laptop, without permanently adding bulk to the MacBook itself. Overall, it’s fine for scratch protection, but I wouldn’t choose it if you’re looking for strong impact protection or want to keep the laptop feeling slim.

Outstanding fit for MacBook Pro 2026 16", extremely precise. Space black clear is actually a dark slightly opaque matte finish, won't see much of the MacBook through it. This Soonjet armor is purely for protection of the finish of your MacBook, it is a thin hard case and offers no cushioning drop protection. For finish protection it has performed extremely well so far, no scratches at all from pets continually climbing on it and running across the surface, no visible damage from dropping eating utensils and small tools on it either.

Great case. Very light and fits well. Has durability. Love it!

I paid nearly $3500 for my MacBook - of course I'm going to baby it, and use a protective case, as I do with *all* of my electronics. This is the only product, unfortunately, that has actually under-performed it's core function, however. I have never dropped my MacBook, nor abused it. It doesn't leave my house, and only moves from upstairs to downstairs, depending on where I need it. I noticed 2 failures that began slowly, but unfortunately have now created a situation where the bottom case is no longer functional: 1. The "clip" that holds it onto the bottom chassis broke on the left and right side, at some point, but was still held in place by the rest of the clips. Ok, no big deal - it kinda made a weird sound if you picked it up, but that's not the end of the world. 2. Somehow, maybe in the last week (?), I just noticed that BOTH sides of the case, near where the air/ventilation holes are, have developed stress cracks. This now means the case is no longer able to hold onto the bottom, rendering it useless. So, $30 spent for a top & bottom case, but the bottom case has failed after <4 months of ownership. That's a bit disappointing. I like the case itself, and have tons of stickers on the top portion that I don't want to peel off and transfer, so I'll hope that the seller reaches out to make this right. I'll still end up with another case, so I guess I'll just have a spare top piece for if/when that eventually fails. 3/5 star accurately reflects this sentiment.

love it

Light , cheap and very good

Excelente calidad!

This was the 4th case I ordered off amazon and it blows away the competition. It came professionally packaged, it feels sturdy and durable and it looks amazing. They really nailed the color for the new space black macbook. I wanted a case that didn't take away from the great space black, and this case did not at all. Now it's space black, protected and with a nice little sheen. Looks expensive! I'm sure the other color choice is just as good! Such a great find
