MacBook Air Skins — Lid Size for M2, M3 and M4

Match your Air’s model number and lid size, not just “13-inch”. The 13.6″ and 15″ Airs from 2022 onwards have flat lids, which are different from the older wedge-shaped 13.3″ Air. Below are pre-cut skins made for the 13.6″ and 15″ Airs, then a quick way to check your model, a finish guide and a short checklist.

Find your exact Air model

The model number (A followed by four digits) is printed in small text on the underside, near the hinge. About This Mac shows the name and year, for example “MacBook Air (13-inch, M3, 2024)”.

Where to find the MacBook Air model number The underside of a MacBook Air. Small print near the hinge edge includes the model number, for example Model A2681. 1 · Turn it over: model number hinge edge Designed by Apple in California Model A2681 Model A2681 Tiny print near the hinge: “Model A….” How to measure the MacBook Air lid The closed lid with arrows for width and height.

Pre-cut or universal sheet?

Pre-cut skins are labelled for one Air model, so the corners and logo line up without trimming. Universal sheets cost less but need careful trimming. If a listing is vague, treat it as universal and measure twice.

Keep vinyl on the flat plane of the lid. Decide whether you want the Apple logo covered before you buy, because the logo can show through light or translucent designs.

Finishes on an aluminium lid

Air lids are smooth aluminium, so most vinyl sits flat and neat. Choose the finish by how the lid will be handled.

Matte softens fingerprints and glare. It’s the calm default for a work laptop.

Gloss makes colours pop but shows dust and smudges.

Printed effects such as the wood and marble skins above are smooth vinyl with a printed pattern, not a real texture.
