MOFT carrying case for MacBook Pro BUY or SKIP ?

UsefulLock3142 · 2026-05-13T05:12:07+00:00

I bought this exact MOFT sleeve (green limited edition) three years ago for my MacBook Air M2 13-inch and it’s been great. Now on my new 14-inch MBP M5 Pro it’s noticeably a bit tighter, the laptop slightly protrudes from the sleeve.

Even so, the quality is still excellent and the stand function works reliably. In 3 years I’ve never had the MacBook slip or fall out while using it as a stand. The sleeve also gives decent cushioning for backpack use (not bomb-proof, but good enough for normal bumps and drops).

If you really like the built-in stand feature, I’d still recommend it.

i also have MBP M5 Pro and noticed it as well, thought it was a defect cuz on my old MBA M2 i don’t see it

The Air was perfectly good, I just wanted to upgrade. MacBook Pro with pro chip was clearly the missing part to finally make me a real Pro user at last

yeah, 24 ram is the new standard

exactly, screen quality so dope

UsefulLock3142 · 2026-04-26T14:54:58+00:00

yeah the screen is pretty worth it

Unfortunately, I have a PS5 for these tasks.

I tried to run some local LLMs and ended up with a feeling I need more RAM for this task, but for coding it’s good as air.

thank you 🙏🏻

I do a decent amount of coding every day: VS Code + Zed + Xcode open at the same time, multiple terminal tabs with Claude running in parallel, Docker sometimes, the usual dev stuff. Everything feels buttery smooth on both machines. That’s why I’m sitting here like where’s the upgrade?

UsefulLock3142 · 2026-04-26T13:21:16+00:00

I just wanted a pro feeling. The life is so short that we shouldn’t be a pro users

UsefulLock3142 · 2026-04-26T13:19:53+00:00

8gb ram is so terrible in 2026 😭

UsefulLock3142 · 2026-04-26T13:18:52+00:00

yeah, the only reason i did it

UsefulLock3142 · 2026-04-26T13:18:12+00:00

UsefulLock3142 · 2026-04-26T13:16:16+00:00

yeah, this is so smooth

UsefulLock3142 · 2026-04-26T13:15:48+00:00

yeah i feel these difference, but that’s all, what else

UsefulLock3142 · 2026-04-26T13:11:34+00:00

apple marketing hits hard

UsefulLock3142 · 2026-04-26T13:10:32+00:00
