Can I use BookArc if I have a case on my MacBook?Updated 11 days ago

Probably not.

However, you might be able to use the insert for one of the thicker MacBooks, depending on how thick your shell is.

All inserts can be purchased here and are designed for devices with the following thicknesses:

  • Insert B - 0.71- inch / 17.3 mm
  • Insert C - 0.52-inch / 13.2 mm 
  • Insert E - 0.61-inch / 15.6 mm
  • Insert F - 0.64-inch / 16.2 mm
  • Insert G - 0.66-inch / 16.8 mm
  • Insert H - 0.61-inch / 15.6 mm
  • Insert I - 0.44-inch / 11.2 mm


PLEASE NOTEIf your MacBook has a shell or case, it will affect how it fits into the BookArc. Depending on the case's thickness or the shape of its edges:

  • The MacBook may lean slightly when placed in the BookArc.
  • It could be more challenging to remove the MacBook from BookArc.
  • The insert may shift or dislodge when inserting or removing the MacBook.

As such, we do not recommend using BookArc with a case or shell on your MacBook.
