Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit to keeping my MacBook Pro in BookBook?

 

Chances are, a big part of your life - photos, music, work, school work and other important documents - is stored on your MacBook Pro. It’s critical to protect it as best you can. BookBook is a hardback case with a leather spine that offers superior protection as you shuttle your 13-inch or 15-inch MacBook Pro from place to place.

 

How is BookBook different from other cases?

 

Along with a totally unique look, BookBook protects your MacBook Pro in three ways. First, its hardback sides with reinforced corners protect from impacts encountered on your daily commute. Second, the vintage designed spine provide crush protection. Third, BookBook disguises your MacBook Pro from being seen. Safely stowed inside, your MacBook Pro looks like a vintage book left on a desk or table, reducing the odds of someone stealing it.

 

What size BookBook do I need for my MacBook Pro?

 

BookBook Sizes
To determine what size BookBook you need for your MacBook Pro, open your Mac and measure the lit portion of your screen (not including the black bezel). Screens measuring 13.3" fit the 13-inch BookBook, 15.4" screens are compatible with our 15-inch BookBook, while our 17-inch BookBook is for those with 17" screens.

 

Is BookBook compatible with the new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display (Pro with RD)?

 

The new Pro with RD does fit in our BookBook for MacBook, although the corner clips that secure the case to the screen are not usable due to the difference in size of the new Pro with RD. Sign up here and we’ll let you know about any future updates to BookArc and other accessories for the new Pro with RD.

 

Can I use BookBook with other MacBooks or notebooks?

 

We recommend and support the use of BookBook with the Apple MacBook Pros (complete list below). Unfortunately, we cannot currently recommend the use of BookBook with White MacBooks. 
More info on White MacBooks and the BookBook can be found here.

 

Is there a BookBook for iPad?

 

Yes. Check it out here.

 

Will BookBook fit in my computer bag?

 

A 13" MacBook with BookBook will fit inside a bag made for a 15" MacBook and a 15" MacBook with BookBook will fit inside a 17" bag. The bag should be the next size up from your MacBook.
