It also needs to have great build quality, a tight and secure fit, and the color should match the space grey color of the laptop itself. I would also need the best quality pass-through charging.

I need an HDMI port, micro/SD card slots, 2 USB-A, and 2 USB-C ports (for charging and for data). I was researching about what USB-C hub to get. Hey guys! I just recently ordered my M1 MacBook Pro in space grey and I'm super excited to receive it in a couple of weeks (blah international shipping).
