How to Find Your Model Number (Axxxx)
-
Check the Bottom: Flip your laptop over. The model number is printed in tiny text near the hinge.
-
"About This Mac": Click the Apple Logo () > About This Mac.
-
Check the Box: If you have the original packaging, the "A" number is near the barcode.

💡 Pro-Tips for a Perfect Fit
-
The M4/M5 Assurance: The 2024/2025 M4 and M5 MacBook Pros use the exact same chassis as the M1/M2/M3 versions. Your existing Candy Shield Pro 14" or 16" cases for Apple Silicon will fit these new models perfectly!
-
Wedge vs. Flat: If your MacBook Air gets thinner toward the front, you have a Wedge model (A2337). If it is the same thickness all around, you have the Flat model (A2681/A3113/A3240). These cases are not interchangeable.
