Hi all, I just ordered my MBA and have been searching all over for a portfolio type sleeve that will fit the MBA similiar to the link below. Anyone have specific recommendations? Will it fit in the case linked below?

hmm. It's not quite like that, but it's a slide-in sleeve. Orion, made by incipio. I think it's the only sleeve like that...

A much better quality sleeve is available through the apple store. It is custom made for the the MBA and still has just enough room for a couple folders and accessories.

yeah i saw that one, but according to the reviews, if i was to get something that big, i would like a place to put the power supply

How is the cushion? I was looking for something like the one i saw on amazon, so i can add a notepad and keep everything looking clean and simple made of leather (or faux leather)

how is the one from Orion? is there enough cushion for days when i decide to throw it into my backpack with a few books?

The Orion is strictly a slipcase. The material is semi-stiff and I think there's adequate cushion to be mixed in with books in a backpack. The fit is excellent for the MBA. When I travel, I intend to put my MBA in the slipcase then into a notebook backpack.

Still in School,


I've been wrestling with the same problem. How to transport the MBA. My solution has been to go with an Incase Sleeve and a Ristretto for normal use. For meetings and the office I'm going to pick up a sleeve with a pocket to throw a notepad/moleskin into.

Two options

1. Waterfield Designs Sleevecase, horizontal w/flap and back pocket

2. Fabrix cases. Keep the MBA in the sleeve, throw it into a briefcase for work or travel, take the sleeve into meetings with a notepad in the back pocket.

Can't think of any other solutions.

How big is that case? Fairly slim and sleek? IS the outside leather?


Can I also use it as a sleeve in a laptop bag for transport.
