If I were to pick a favorite, the Urban Armor Gear UAG case would be my go-to purchase for the 13-inch MacBook Pro. The impact-resistant armor shell and reinforced corners will ensure that the machine remains in pristine shape, and the tactile grip is of great convenience as well.

However, if military-grade strength was not my top priority, I’d go with the Speck SmartShell case would be at the top of my shopping list. This see-through case comes in a bevy of cool colors to choose from, while the rear corner clips are claimed to be capable of withstanding up to 34lbs of force to prevent breakage. This is one case that offers a good blend of durability, minimalism, and aesthetic choices.
