Incase Dots Hardshell Case for M1 MacBook Air

- Too many cases offered for the new M1 MacBook Air are just residual designs from the 2020 MacBook Air with Intel chips. This means that most cases offered have unnecessary vents on the bottom, when they could easily be sleek and ventless to accommodate the fanless design of the M1 Air.
Incase took the time and resources to design a sleek case without the unneeded ventilation, and in this video I take a look at that exact case.
If you are interested in buying this case or a variation of it, they can be found at the links below:

Finally a video about this.
It would be even be better if there was a case with no dots, just smooth.
Is it true hard shell cases can damage the screen or trap dust or cause other damage? I'm getting a lot of mixed information
I been wondering about this too

I haven't hear of that being a problem besides having to clean some dirt every now and again
@@buzzrenren olá, poderia comentar como ocorreu como a capa causou o dano?
I clicked in all the sides, but the left side is clearly bent upwards so I’m worried if I need to apply more force to get it down or if the top piece just isn’t aligned correctly from left to right. Would pushing on the lid hurt the screen?
This case does not fit the m1 2020 MacBook Air fully. I bought that case and it is not wide enough for both sides to click in properly on the body of the laptop. If you are detail oriented, avoid that case.
@@limaso306 Yes, I have found one. They have made exact same case but with proper proportions. The specific part number is: INMB200615-BLK
I got one for the m2 and it doesn’t push down fully on one side. That or I need to push harder
What about the opening? Does this case touches the bottom of the screen while opening more than 90°?
I had a generic case and at some angle the screen touches at the bottom part of the case near the hinge
Your information is not accurate. Previous MacBook air cases DOES NOT FIT new M1 mac. A simple google search reveals that no, they aren't the same size: the A1932 is 1.56 cm thick at its thickest and the A2179 and A2337 are 1.61 cm thick.
If the case says it fits A2337 (which is my m1 model), it should fit it right?
Did you notice any diference on hinge behaviour for the added weight on the display when it ‘s almost closed ? Thanks!
i've seen the exact same in the flagship education section store of apple, so I guess they won't recommend it if it damages the hinges. But I also still have doubts if I should buy a hard shell lmao😅

Hey buddy, any updates on the case? Is it still in good condition? Any issues with the macbook like discoloring or scratches?
both sides of the bottom part of the case click in perfeclty? I forget if it was you or another youtuber that pointed out that with some cheap cases for the m1 mac air one side or the other just wouldn't snap into place.
They fit into place very nicely for me
I have this incase dot case and m1 macbook air, and it won't click on both sides.
Thanks for being clear and succinct.
Doesn’t leave any marks when you take the case on and off?
No marks, if there is anything it would just be dust/residue
I recently bought a macbook air m1 and I've been trying to look for cases since I don't trust myself without one, but I've been seeing mixed reviews about cases ranging from them being able to potentially damage your macbook over time like straining the hinge or bending it in some way especially with the macbook air since it's way thinner. I just don't want that risk happening with my macbook have any of you experienced these issues? If not what cases should I get for my macbook? specifically the macbook air m1 2020.
i had the incase for over a year my hinge doesnt fell any diffrent compared to other cases
Does it pick up fingerprints ? Or smudges ?
Not that easily in either case actually, good questions
Regardless not having a fan you still to disipate heat, and hence grills have a function.
What is the opening span now? Some cases prevent the full open angle.
Opens just as wide as before, 135 degrees
@@TechItEasy0 Thanks! Good to know.
I would argue that the grill is pointless. Macbook air m1 uses passive cooling which means it uses heat transfer between the cpu and the aluminum it is made from. This formula manages to work very very well for most light to medium applications and the laptop won’t get too hot. Once it is put to work, the cpu starts throttling down as soon as the aluminum gets hot. Installing a shell with a grill will lower the endurance performance, installing a shell with no grill will lower the performance even further, acting like an insulator. Look for shells with the most bottom exposure so that your laptop will last longer ( battery will stay healthier if it will not heat up).
Link me some on amazon
@@CoffeeMadeMeSay I recommend you don’t use any. Try a good sleeve instead 🙂
Wow! Wow! wow! Thank you for mentioning that … so don’t buy a (plastic) hard case at all? I just got a 16” MacBook Pro, and it’s like a new born baby to me.
Thank you so much for making this video! I feel like no one is talking about this! Does this case crack on the corners?? I found a case that is flat on the bottom but it is cracked in multiple places. Thanks again! New sub!
hi thanks for amazing ryzen 5 3600x unboxing video just the one I was looking for
So glad!
Nicely though out review - thx :)
I bought a case for the MacBook Air M1 from incase and didn't fit🥲
Bought this case based on this video, thank you
Olá, poderia comentar que após algum tempo de uso percebeu que algum dano, como rachadura na case ou arranhões no MacBook ?
Hi... should I get this case for my new m1 air ? Is it really good ?
I love it!
Thank you....have just ordered !!!
Hello friend, nice video, what about the case 1 month later? Work really good?
Case has been great so far
Ordered mine based on this video
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it, I certainly have
Hey Shaydon, I recently bought hardshell for m1 mac with the grid one you mentioned , my MacBook M1 air opening lid opens up on slight push or when it is kept vertical aligned it opens up from in between , please check this for more info, I have added a video there : discussions.apple.com/thread/252783739?answerId=255238797022#255238797022 , i suppose it was happening due to old, incompatible hard -shell, so my second question is should i go with the hard shell you are mentioning in the video?
They are also leaving grills for those not buying m1
That does not preclude their making two separate lines of MBA Retina cases: one for M1 and one for Intel.
The dot incase will crack after couple months.
I love you man.
The only problem being that you pay literally 10 times the price for a case without grilles on the bottom when they are all the same quality and just cheap plastic.
the older cases with grills don't even fit properly on the M1 MacBook Airs
