Will this case protect my macbook air from being crushed inside a backpack full of thick books?

yep. This thing is crazy badass. I show my computer zero love and regularly rest books and drinks on top of it while it's in the cover. I also regularly place it in my bookbag with no less than 3 or 4 heavy law books and fling it around with reckless abandon. 5 months after purchase, no wear and tear on the comp or the cover. True story. And it looks cool as hell in person. Buy this puppy.

F*** yeah! Its been protecting my macbook since 2014. My macbook fell with this case hard and my macbook was the same! It also feels badasss using it!

I have a macbook pro and it is not snug, so it would be even worse with the air. If you are okay with it not being a tight fit I would recommend the case.

Hi Tasha, Thank you for your interest in our products. The inner space of the case is designed to be only slightly larger than the size of a 13'' MacBook for effective protection, so your computer may not easily fit in the case if it carries a thick cover. However, it is not a problem for a thin folder or a few sheets of paper to fit in the side compartments where the handles can hide.

This case is made for a MacBook Pro, which is thicker on the bottom and top so I don't think it would fit the MacBook Air. The keyboard cover would still work though.

My macbook pro retina 13 in. has a little bit of room when i put it in this case, and thats without a hard case. I would think that a macbook air with a hard case would fit fine and still have a bit of room.

probably not! The body of the MacBook Air fits rather snugly into 2 grooves without leaving much room at all to spare.

If you are using a macbook anything then chances are you will never need the durability of functionality that this case brings. If you are going to buy it anyways then I strongly suggest you invest in a piece of firm foam that will completely fill the computer case section and trim it to fit your "device" perfectly.

Yes it will. But it adds some bulk and weight to the macbook air(but that's expected.) Another thing to note is that it's very difficult to remove.

I don't know for sure since I did not do this, but based on the roominess of the bookcase and the minimalistic footprint of a candy shell case, I would think that it would work well - and that is actually a great idea to compensate for the fact that the bookcase does not really attach to the mac book very well. So you would basically get a great looking outer zippered case that discusses your laptop when not in use with a very practical and functional candy shell when it is in use. Great idea and I think well worth trying. I would be very interested in whether this option works as I may decide to do this as well!!!!!

I think it could handle the iPad Air, MacBook Pro 13, and a couple of notebooks. The addition of the books may be a little tight.

Not likely due to overall thickness. Most ultralights are still thicker than a MacBook Air

I purchased my Mac book Air this April. It is a 13 inch. Yes, it fits fine. I thought about purchasing a sleeve as well but the hard shell is sufficient.

I think you'll be pleased at how well the padding works! I believe the MacBook Air is very well protected!

probably not all of those. i fit my air 13 inch and my ipad in but its tight. i would get the full macbook case.

Your iPad with the "Smart" cover will easily fit in this case with room to spare. It will not be a snug fit as it is for the AirBook.

Yes it is great , I personally carry my MacBook air 13 inch and there is plenty of space for a couple of books.

My experience is, Yes. I always have a carryon suitcase and this case for my Mac, etc. No problem so far.
