F

or many of us, our laptops are one of the most expensive items we own – and rightly so.

We spend hours in front of these devices, whether it’s for work or leisure (namely to google funny cat videos that put off our 9-5).

If you are anything like us and the thought of losing years of important documents, half-written notes and too many photos for iCloud to store evokes a sense of dread, then it’s time to give your laptop an extra bit of TLC give with a protective casing.

The range of laptop holders on the market is endless, ranging from basic and budget-friendly, to modern smart equipment. Shopping for the best one is not as simple as it seems, so we have put together some top tips.

  • Make sure your laptop holder is the right size for your laptop. If the container is too large, you run the risk of your laptop running around too much, and if it is too small, you will spend unnecessary time forcing it into a cabinet that can easily break.
  • Choose a protective cover that is made of durable material and well padded – a thin layer of material will probably not do much if your laptop is dropped.
  • Decide how you prefer to carry your laptop, as some cases come with handles or shoulder straps as well as compartments for other technological devices such as headphones and chargers.

Read on to find out our top rated laptop cases that are safe and stylish and will ensure peace of mind when transporting your laptop from office to home to distant destinations.
