Perfect sleeve for MBA 13.3

I just bought a generic neoprene sleeve for a 13" laptop. Works perfectly and has protected my laptop without a hitch yet. And thats including when I dropped at 2000 page, hardback university book on it...

Lots of companies will just overprice their covers by advertising "SUPER INNOVATIVE iCASE FOR MACBOOK AIR! DESIGNED TO PERFECTLY FIT YOUR BEAUTIFUL MAC!, NOW >>ONLY<< 100 DOLLARS!"; dont buy into it.

I have the speck sleeve. It fits my 13' MBA very snugly. I'd recommend it.

I have the ManilaMac Envelope, and it fits my 13" MBA perfect and snug. Just doesnt offer that protection from being dropped. But honestly Im only trying to prevent scratches and dings.

I had found one really beautiful but I bookmarked it to iPad, now it has been factory reseted and sold. If you can tell me how can I see my iPad safari bookmarks I'll tell you.

I use the ACME sleeve, and it is just perfect in every aspect.

I love the design, very clean, excellent protection and quality material. Maybe a little pricey for some, but a few extra bucks for a quality product is justifiable.

I have RadTech sleeves for all of my iDevices and I have not found anything better quality yet. Definitely recommend them.

I have this as well and give a strong endorsement to this sleeve. It fits snugly with the MBA since it's designed for ultrabooks, and also the inside is covered in this extremely soft cloth (microfiber?) whereas I've seen some of the cheaper sleeves use rougher material. Visually, it's not stunning but not something you want to hide either. It's more cool/unique.

Really solid case!

The Bookbook is worth the money! it's a great case for protecting the MBA inside a messenger bag or backpack. and sit's nicely when opened also.

Another vote for a JoliOriginals. Expensive but lovely.

+1, i got one for my sister, nicest sleeve ive bought in my 10ish years using macs.. I'd have one for my 11" but i use a speck shell so it wouldnt fit.

I just purchased this sleeve from SFbags.com. They have a great website with video's on their products. They are made in SF and have great customer service.

I purchased the smart case for mine, but they have other styles.

I just bought this Incase Heathered sleeve For my 13" 2011 Air

I wanted a extra pocket to put the adapter if I wanted to go out without an extra bag

This thing is gorgeous. Especially for the money
Macbook Air 13" Sleeve

Ultralight (<1lb) sleeve and pack combo

I have a Crumpler 'The Fug' for MacBook Air 13 ($35 incl free ship from Adorama; http://www.adorama.com/CLF13ARD.html), which I use as a minimal sleeve inside my REI 'Stuff' travel pack ($30 from REI; http://www.rei.com/product/809163/rei-stuff-travel-pack )

The best part of this setup is that sleeve (128g) and pack (280g) weigh less than 1lb together!

The sleeve is 1 layer of neoprene, staple stitched around the edges so it's form fitting. Opening is on the short side, and is slightly narrowed so that you sort of 'pop' the MBA in and then the sleeve doesn't slide off on its own. I pull the laptop out, leaving the sleeve in the pack. The MBA slides back in easily even when there's other stuff in there.

Not going to provide a ton of drop protection, so I don't drop it.

I have to chime in as well. I absolutely adore my Joli case for my 11" --- had it since December, and despite daily commute to work and such, it looks brand new.

I've got a 13" 2011 Macbook Air and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for...

I would like something that's meets these criteria:

• slim, yet protective
• fully enclosed
• extra pocket if I need to bring a charger
• low-profile handle for easier carrying

The closest I've found is this:

But it says ships in 1-2 months

Has anyone seen anything similar? I'm currently using the Incase Heathered sleeve that was mentioned a few posts above, but I'm considering returning it to Best Buy in favor of something with handles... if I can ever find one (that's hopefully not bulky)...

Same here, I have a Brown-Yellow Joli originals for both my MBA and my iPad, I got rid of the ugly speck case to use this case with my MBA
