But the more scratches and dents you accidentally put on it the more you lose in resale value. Putting on a case prevents all of that.
These MacBook Pro cases have been designed to provide better grip, more protection, and in some cases even to show off cool designs and patterns. Do note that the transparency on the cases can vary depending on the colors.
