WaterField Designs Sleevecase

prodsleevecasedetail7og0 1 20080513 193432 WaterField Designs SleevecaseThe SleeveCase is an excellent computer case, made by WaterField Designs, and available in many configurations including over 40 different sizes, either vertical or horizontal, with a flap or without, 3 different strap options, and an additional pouch to hold accessories.

I tested the Sleevecase in the vertical orientation with the flap, Suspension Strap and the PiggyBack (the pouch). When it arrived, I slipped my MacBook Pro into it, and that’s when I realized how amazing of a product it is. For under USD$100 you get an amazing case which protects the MacBook Pro very well and is very comfortable to carry around.

The quality of the case is fantastic. I carefully looked it over, and I did not even see one loose thread on it. The Sleevecase appears as if it was made to perfection, and in my testing, it was perfect. The PiggyBack is an ideal size to hold the MagSafe power adapter, a wireless mouse, and my DVI to VGA adapter when traveling, and it is made to the same standard as the Sleevecase.

The Sleevecase is made from neoprene on the inside for great protection of your valuable laptop, and nylon on the outside. It uses Velcro to keep the flap shut, while still protecting the laptop.

From a design point of view, it is also wonderful, both in looks and functionality. I had a compliment from an Apple Employee when I visited the Apple Store with my MacBook Pro in this case. It goes along with the Apple laptops perfectly. The Suspension Strap makes carrying around my 6.8 pound laptop easy and comfortable.

This is truly the best case I have ever tested, from a functionality, design, comfort and price perspective. For under USD$100, it is a great buy. I highly recommend it to everyone who has an Apple laptop.

Name: WaterField Designs Sleevecase
Price: USD$95
