Available for the 13-inch MacBook Pro/Air and the 16-inch MacBook Pro from Amazon.co.uk

Users can easily work on their MacBook without removing it from the SuitCase thanks to Twelve South’s innovative suspension system which holds the case securely against the MacBook without interfering with its display.
