Will never go wrong with WaterField. I have sleeves for my iPad Air and rMBP, if WaterField has a product that will fit my needs Ill always give them first consideration
Does your case have a "SMELL" to it and can you pack everything in it with out damage to say the MBA itself? Some of the reviews on this over at Amazon are not that great
No, no "smell" other than nylon, which kinda smells like plastic. It's not a hard case, and it's not padded. If you dropped it, there could be damage. Add padding and hard sides, and you've left sleeve territory behind...
