Model-specific fit

This hard-shell case fits only the MacBook Pro 15.4-inch Retina model A1398 released from late 2012 through 2015. It covers the top and bottom with a matte black polycarbonate shell that slips on and off without tools.

Check the A-number

Before ordering, turn the MacBook over and confirm the model number printed on the base reads A1398. The case will not align with any other MacBook Pro, MacBook Air or 15-inch Retina variant.

Replaces generic sleeves

It upgrades from loose sleeves or skins that shift during transport and block ventilation. The vented design maintains airflow while the rigid shell absorbs impacts that would otherwise dent the aluminium chassis.

Questions about this item

Does the EN-Labs A1398 case include any extra accessories or do I need to buy anything else?

The package contains only the hard-shell top and bottom covers for the MacBook Pro 15.4-inch A1398. No screen protector, keyboard cover or carrying sleeve is included, so those would be separate purchases if you want them.

How do I know which A1398 sub-model this case fits?

Check the model number printed on the bottom of your MacBook. This case fits A1398 units released from late 2012 through 2015, including part numbers MC975LL/A, MC976LL/A, ME293LL/A, ME294LL/A, ME664LL/A, ME665LL/A, MGXA2LL/A, MGXC2LL/A, MJLU2LL/A, MJLQ2LL/A and MJLT2LL/A.

Will the matte black finish affect how the laptop runs or cools?

The case is fully vented to allow normal heat disbursement, and the design leaves all ports accessible. The matte black PC shell adds a semi-translucent layer without blocking airflow or interfering with daily operation.
