Incase Compact 13" MacBook Air/Pro Sleeve - Black

I ordered and a MacBook Air for my son for college. The order was placed online so I could not actually feel the case before ordering. First, the quality of the item is great, but $50 is just to much for the product. I would buy this if priced at $19.99USD. To compare, when I purchased my HP, I ordered a similar case. It is CLEARLY has much higher quality outer, better cushioning inside and the side zipper pouch is RFID. Twice the product in my opinion and it was only $40. So, all said, nice product, too pricey. I may return and order the HP product. In reality, this is a product I would expect to receive as a "give-away" at a professional conference to sell a brand, not a quality item to safegurad a MAC.

Nice cover for a tablet/ laptop. Wipeable exterior and plush interior. This serves well to keep your device clean and unscratched but not much else. I doubt it will do much to protect from a drop or other rough handling. It zips up and is very snug and not breathable. I do worry about having the device on while inside the case as it could easily overheat. Might be nice to have a pocket of some kind for miscellaneous stuff. Pricy for what it is.

Fits my MacBook Pro great (I’ve tried many from various brands and most fit way to large so the MacBook moves around). I also love the idea of having an accessory pocket but unless you are using it to fit something small and thin like an iPhone charging cord you loose the nice form factor of the case. Anything like a small charger or even just an AirPods case will jut out from the front. However, some may not care about this.

Fits the 13” MacBook Air securely and with seemingly good protection. The slim profile prohibits also carrying the AC adapter, but that’s the trade off. There is a pouch that can hold a cable and some small peripherals. The price is a bit high for some padded neoprene and a zipper but it’s well designed and serves its purpose.

For years, I’ve protected my larger devices with Incase sleeves. Sure, there is a lot of competition but the quality of Incase has the others beat. The materials are top notch and the craftsmanship is best of class. I highly recommend and will continue to buy Incase products n the future.
