Your Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is a good-looking device and one you should be proud of owning. One great way to better protect your XPS 13 2-in-1 is to use a case when carrying the laptop around with you. Here are some excellent examples worth considering.

Dell 7MTR0
Budget Pick
Dell's 7MTR0 has a lightweight and comfortable design, allowing you to carry around your Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 within a water-resistant sleeve with ample protection against damage. There's also a handy front organizer panel to keep all your daily essentials stored away within reach. Best of all is the price.

Targus City Smart

This lightweight, easy-to-use, and versatile backpack looks different from other options in our collection, and that's because it is.

The Java Slim is lightweight while offering protection for your essential electronics, and lets you use it as a messenger bag or carry case.
Choosing the right case for your Dell XPS 13
When looking at protection for your new XPS 13, it all comes down to personal taste. Not everyone will like the look of the same backpack or case, but if we were to recommend a single option, it would be Thule Accent backpack (opens in new tab) that not only lets you take your laptop with you on trips, but also all your accessories and other devices.
But should you be heading out into the field, or know that you may encounter some turbulence that will knock the XPS 13 around a little, the Nacuwa Protective Case (opens in new tab) is a rugged case that'll protect your laptop from even substantial drops.
