Looking at the comments here, I guess I'm the only one who finds sadness that Apple even has to publish this document.
Some of those novelty and promotional camera covers are really quite thick. And it just seems like common sense to me that you wouldn't close a laptop with one of those things on. Just like I wouldn't close my laptop with a pen or a ham sandwich tucked into it.
But I guess Apple has had enough complaints that they had to issue something. I can only hope that the department that writes these things was shaking its head the whole time.
It's quite similar to the one I've been using on my 2018 15" MBP for the past two years. Can you give more information on the cause of the problem?
Did you close the macbook very firmly and it broke?
I also used one on a 15" MBP (albeit 2015 model) for a long time with no trouble. I don't recall closing the lid particularly hard when it broke, though I may have.
The small leather adhesive dot I use on mine is extremely compressed and dented by the case, and that’s a 2017 MBP, so I’m kind of shocked people are using hard plastic ones at all.
