That Perfect Laptop Sleeve
I just purchased the newest Macbook Pro 15' and I am looking for *that* perfect sleeve. I have the *perfect* bag but now I need the sleeve.Unfortunaly RL does do sleeves.
Any suggestions ?
Forgive if this question has been talked about. I try to do a search but everything seems so dated.
Thanks

Someone recently created a thread that shows a nice sleeve, but I can't locate it right now.

Nm: Found it:

In any case, I was about to start a thread like this one a while back, since I am also looking for a sleeve (with some extra space).

What are you looking for in a sleeve? Perfect for one may not be perfect for another.

Price? Materials? Features? Size? Color?

I am using this (13" version) every day. Light, protective and charging works while laptop is in the sleeve.

Never had to put it out for X-Ray security check, too.

I like sleek and simple. Eye catching but sutle. It would be nice to have a small shoulder strap/handle. Price is irrelevant when it comes to perfect for me 😁
I like all materials and features should have a least 1 pocket but that it the main concern.
Thanks for any suggestions...

You might want to look at the sleeves by Waterfield Designs (sfbags.com). They have a number of styles, sized for Macbooks, a strap can be added. Build quality is excellent and the sleeves are very protective.

Another vote for the Waterfield / sfbags.com sleeves. I've had one for YEARS, it looks brand new. Same thing for their bags, it's amazing how they hold up.

I bought a neoprene pouch from Amazon. I believe it actually was an Amazon brand. It was very well-made and very inexpensive

I use this -
Amazon Amazon

It's an off brand, and the logo styling is a tad juvenile, but the sleeve is nearly perfect for my needs. The slight increase in thickness is well worth it for the extra protection IMO.

I have the Brenthaven EcoSleeve but only because it was on sale. The Collins is much nicer looking sleeve! http://www.brenthaven.com/products/c...-laptop-sleeve

If you have a fragile laptop (practically all except ThinkPad and ToughBook and most especially the fruit brand) then the Zeroshock sleeves are invaluable.
