This high-end sleeve is designed to stay in place while you use your MacBook. If you regularly carry your MacBook under your arm, it could prove invaluable. By disguising your notebook as a shabby post bag, it's far less likely to get pinched. But its padded lining, waterproof exterior and velcro fastenings keep your notebook safe and sound, from thieves as well as bumps and splashes. The Stealth Laptop Sleeve is designed to look like a tatty, used padded postal envelope. It might not be the best-looking sleeve around, but there's method to its undeniable madness. They've also made one of the zip fasteners orange, which gives a nice little splash of contemporary colour when the case is closed. The one reviewed here is a fetching shade of teal, with an orange lining. This model has useful front pockets for notes and documents too. Their low-resistance polyurethane memory foam means they give excellent protection against knocks and scrapes, and they're extremely well built, with sturdy metal zips, and solid, heavyweight stitching. You can't go far wrong with a be.ez notebook sleeve. It's opentopped too, so it won't keep out dust and dirt, which is surprising for such an outdoors-themed sleeve. Pressing down hard onto your notebook to close the fastener is far from ideal. It's extremely robust, but we wish the holding flap was secured with a magnet instead of a press stud. This one's available in horizontal or vertical orientation, and with a choice of trim styles. With its waxed canvas build and leather trim, WaterField's Outback range of cases and sleeves have a real rugged outdoor feel to them. It's also available for the 15-inch MacBook Pro too. The case is made from neoprene and is available in black, blue, red or grey, and because it's tight-fitting and relatively thin, it should fit comfortably in your notebook rucksack or shoulder bag. The velvet-like black lining is appreciated too. We liked the elasticated flap inside the case, which stretches over your notebook and stops it getting scratched by the zips. Although not as stylish or robust as the be.ez case, this Tucano case does indeed fit your MacBook like a second skin.
