In almost every conceivable way, the MacBook Air with Retina display is smaller than the previous MacBook Air while still having a 13.3-inch display. It has 17% less volume than the previous MacBook Air, being shorter, shallower, and lighter than its predecessor. This means that soft cases, bags, and sleeves for the older MacBook Air will work just fine with the new model; however, hard cases will not. If you're looking to carry around you're new MacBook Air in something to protect it when you're on the move, here are our favorite options.
Keyboard cover included
ProCase MacBook Air Case
Staff Favorite
Minimalist in design, this clear polycarbonate case covers the top and bottom of your MacBook Air preventing scratches and minor scuffs from damaging your laptop. The case even raises up onto the sides of the device, so it should help protect the corners as well. The ProCase also comes with an included silicone keyboard covers, so it will keep crumbs and other debris from getting into the keys.

This frosted matte-finished plastic case is guaranteed to make your MacBook Air more hearty, as it protects the top of the laptop. With rubber feet on the bottom, so your MacBook Air won't slide around on tables or desks and cutout for heat ventilation that won't cause your computer to run too hot, the i-Blason Hard Shell Case is super effective.
Heavy-duty option
