Get straight to the top tech—no junk, just the best.

Chromebooks specialize in being light, speedy laptop solutions that you can take anywhere with you. But all that moving around also means that Chromebooks really benefit from covers and cases — especially to protect against accidental bumps.

The tricky part is that Chromebooks come in a variety of sizes and designs from different brands, so you’ll need to find covers that will fit yours no matter what. Our picks are made for a wide variety of Chromebook-sized laptops, and include the portability that’s often important for on-the-go Chromebook users. Take a look!

Timbuk2 Stealth Folio Organizer

Pros
  • Tons of straps and pockets
Cons
  • More expensive than many cases

First, the Stealth Folio will keep your Chromebook secure thanks to its extra padding and 100% recycled nylon exterior. Second, it comes with a handy wrist strap to easily carry the case around without worrying about it slipping if you don’t have a pack to carry it in. But it’s the third feature that might really catch your eye — a plethora of pockets and straps inside to carry all kinds of notepads, cables, chargers, adapters, earbuds, and whatever else you may like to use with your Chromebook. That makes this one of the best all-purpose Chromebook cases around.

The base is available in a 13-inch laptop size and a 16-inch laptop size to accommodate different sizes of Chromebooks, so make sure you choose the right version!

Domiso Laptop Sleeve

Pros
  • Excellent carrying cases
  • Holes for charging and earbuds
Cons
  • Canvas material may not be for everyone

This Domiso case is made with durable canvas that will protect your Chromebook from the rain, but also includes a charging port and a headphone hole so you can listen to tunes and charge it up without needing to take it out of the bag, ideal for commuters, students, and a number of other users. We also really like the handy shoulder strap for slinging it back when you need to spare your hands, along with a handle for carrying your laptop more directly. The case includes front pockets for storage space, and comes in a variety of sizes to match your Chromebook.

ProCase Laptop Case

Pros
  • Lightweight and versatile
Cons
  • Not the best choice for outdoor portability

ProCase’s no-nonsense laptop bag is perfect for carrying your Chromebook around the building or to-and-from meetings. It’s lightweight, can fit in any case or backpack you may be using, but still provides protection of its own against bumps, dust, and more. There’s an extra pocket in front to hold some important accessories, but otherwise not much extra room on this slim case. ProCase offers it in several different sizes to match your needs.

iBenzer Stay-In 2.0

Pros
  • Durable shockproof design
  • Anti-slip surface
Cons
  • No inside storage options

This shockproof case is designed for a bit more protective than the average Chromebook cover, an ideal choice if you aren’t using any other briefcase but want thorough protection. That includes water resistance, a shockproof barrier, straps to keep your laptop from jostling around, and an anti-slip surface plus a handle for effective carrying options. It also comes with a removable carrying strap you can use if you want. There is a side pocket for organization options, but there’s not any extra storage space on the inside.

Nillkn Laptop Sleeve

Pros
  • Stylish design
  • Folds out into a stand and mousepad
Cons
  • No carrying handle

If you don’t really need any straps or handles for carrying your Chromebook around but still want some extra protection, this stylish polyurethane leather case could be just what you need. In addition to the basic bump protection it offers, the case can quickly transform into a stand for you to angle your Chromebook screen on, as well as a soft side panel to use your wireless mouse on without worrying about it getting dirty. That makes the case an excellent companion for the study room, café, conference room, and everything in between Just note that it’s restricted to 13- to 14-inch laptops.

iPearl mCover Hard Shell

Pros
  • Simple shell design
Cons
  • Need to find the model for your specific Chromebook

This hardshell cover preserves your Chromebook design with a shatterproof, translucent material that comes in a wide variety of tints to add some color to your laptop — while making it harder to damage the frame or crack the screen. The catch is that this model is specifically made for certain lines of Samsung Chromebook Plus laptops, and won’t fit other models. The good news is that mCover has shells for all kinds of Chromebooks, so you can probably find one that fits your model with a little looking.

The IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook is a great option if you often work unplugged for long periods of time.

We’re seeing a lot of student laptop deals in the lead-up to the fall semester. While some of these markdowns are on PCs that are dirt cheap, to begin with, we’ve been seeing a fair amount of “diamond in the rough” action over at Best Buy. One of these offers that rose to the surface was for an awesome touchscreen Chromebook setup. As it stands, the Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 Chromebook is marked down to $170, when it usually costs $320. That’s a $150 discount!

 
Why you should shop this Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 deal

A red Samsung Galaxy Chromebook opened on a table.

One of the best Chromebook deals around is on the ageing but still classy Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2. Over at Best Buy you can snag it for $399 when it ordinarily costs $699. A considerable saving of $300, you get a stylish looking Chromebook that is easy to take around with you between classes or on your commute. If that sounds tempting and you don’t need anything too powerful, take a look at everything else we have to say about it below.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2
Released in 2021, we were impressed by the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 overall, but considered it a downgrade from the original Galaxy Chromebook. Things like a rock solid design and responsive and quiet keyboard are good, ageless features. It may not be one of the best Chromebooks any more, but it’s still a winner at this price.
