Quality skins for macbook pro

There are some topics about skins here and there.
I guess there are macbook users here, that take special care about their macbooks.
So I would like for everyone involved with this topic, to list brands that perpetually offer good quality skins for our macbook pros.
What you got in the past, what is your experience, what do you suggest to others, which skins you vote for.

Had an incase hard shell. Didn’t protect my MacBook at all during a small drop 🤬.
Had a cheap hard shell from Amazon before that.
It had fan openings on the bottom plate and that caused discoloration after a year 🤬🤬. MBA is close on the bottom plate, so pretty useless.
I would just go for a good sleeve, incase icon that i use, I really really love.
For a skin if you really want that, just go for a cool d brand skin.
I use mine naked when it’s out of the icon sleeve, hard shells are pointless waste of money. I even read they can deform your MacBook after some time.

I'm with Novius89, hard shells add bulk, weight and heat... I've got a good laptop backpack and Dbrand skin... I won't go back to hardshell again...

I've had really good luck with Dbrand both on my iPads and my Nintendo Switch.

I know about dbrand, they are worthy for sure.
But other than that?
But other than that?
I have Dbrand black titanium skin on my MBP 14 for a year now and it still looks exactly like the day I put it on

I ordered Lention skin from AliExpress last year, color matched my silver 2019/2020 16-inch MBP perfectly (see application tutorial if you'll go after that). Too bad not many color options from them and no options without Apple logo cutout (they provide cutout piece so I just snapped it back in it's place). I paid ~$12 for it including shipping (it's total for 4 pieces that is top, bottom, palm rest, touch pad, however I used only top and bottom). I also got screen protector from this company for ~$6-7 (IIRC) including shipping and it's decent as well. Overall I'm happy however I never seen dbrand products in person and probably their quality is even better (though I'm not sure if 4 times better price wise, it also would take too long to get here and I wasn't sure I could apply it well the first time, so preferred to try with more affordable option first).But other than that?

But with a couple of months of use, the palmrest sticker, has already slight discolorization, at the area my right had touches it all the time.
This is not a sign of high quality.

Slickwraps seems to generally have bad reviews. I think they offer quite a lot of options to choose from, but overall the reviews scare me awareAnyone ever purchased from these ones?
Dbrand skins seems to be the highest rated, and offer excellent customer support. I've purchased from them years ago, many years and so my personal experience is probably out of date. I'm wanting to wrap my MBP, but the selection that dbrands has to offer is a bit more limited, compared to others.

Let me just say regarding slickwraps. I'm sure there are many happy customers, and its up to you to discern if the product offered is worth the price.

Sorry, cannot help with OP:s question but I'll abuse this thread for my own question. But, thanks op, I did order a skin for my MBP 2014 from Dbrand because of you.
Any tips on where to get good quality skins for older MBP's like 2011-2013? Dbrand does not go that far back and Slickwrap reviews are so bad I wont be ordering anything from them, even if they had some.

I'd recommend Gadgetshieldz MacBook skins which are less expensive than Dbrand and the quality is great, I've been using it on my Macbook for more than a year and it didn't peel off or tear off!

Their laptop selection appears to be inferior to others. For ARM based MBPs they only have skins for the 13" laptop - no 14" or 16" M1 MBPsI'd recommend Gadgetshieldz MacBook skins

Yeah, they don't have it I was just suggesting it cause the quality is good compared to printed skins!Their laptop selection appears to be inferior to others. For ARM based MBPs they only have skins for the 13" laptop - no 14" or 16" M1 MBPs
