No, it’s not tight; it slides in and out easily. If I held it by the sleeve the laptop would slide out freely. That’s fine for me, and it’s clearly tailor made, and hasn’t stretched since I bought it, but if you want tight you should look elsewhere.

This is perfect as I don’t want tight. Just ordered one for my M2. Thank you.

I’m picking up my 14 inch macbook pro tomorrow and i’m torn between three cases. They’re the incase icon sleeve, tomtoc 360 protective, and bellroy’s laptop sleeve. Can anyone give me their experiences with these cases and what they’d recommend? The incase and bellroy one seems nice since they’re magnetic.
I have a similar decision to make but unfortunately for me the Incase is not available (MBP 16" 2021), which would be a clear decision since I used that model with another computer and was the best! Right now I'm undecided between tomtoc 360 protective, and bellroy’s laptop sleeve
I’ve heard that the tomtoc can leave marks on the laptop apparently, bellroy’s magnets being too weak to properly close, and Incase being super tight that it’s a hassle to take the mac in and out of the sleeve. I’m still not sure on what to buy, but I might just try the tomtoc for now as I need a sleeve to travel with atm
It happened to me with another brand because of the marks left by the side rubbers... I will change computers in January and that is why I am looking for candidates... I have seen these so far:

I actually just received my native union sleeve for my MBP 16 2023 and it seems to be a VERY tight fit, almost to the point I feel it's going to etch the space black coating on mine with the zipper taking it out. Also, I notice it attracts a lot of lint with the material they use. It was $47 on amazon, I find it hard to find a quality leather option for the 16" M3 Pro.
Thanks, I actually just went with the Tomtoc case since it's a lot cheaper. I thought I'd just use the money to save up for a 1440p high refresh rate monitor or maybe a 4k60hz one in the near future since the 14 inch is a bit small for home use.
Does anyone know where I can find a sleeve like this for the M2 MacBook Pro 14" ?
I loved this sleeve for the simplicity, I'd rather not have zips etc. this didn't have zips but still it felt like the laptop was protected.

Still looking!!!! 👀
Can anyone help me find a case like this for the 14” MacBook Pro
Can’t understand why every case has a metal zip. It’s not needed (hate zips)
Anyone tried this Bellroy Laptop Caddy, seems a decent solution if you want a portfolio carry?

I am very happy with this slip case. No zipper. Computer slides in and out easily. Magnetic closure. Small side pocket for small documents. Love it with my Macbook Pro 13. I don't see it on Amazon anymore, just the 11 inch

Just got the Ryan sleeve for my M2 MBA. It is an extremely tight fit which makes me think they sent me the wrong one. Unfortunately, I will have to reach out to them.
What causes the marks, and where do the mark happen on the computer? Are the marks scratches?
I spent many hours looking for a hard case to protect my MBP Max 96GB 4TB as it cost a lot! However, I have not succeeded in my quest. But that said when at home I have found this case which I use whenever I move from upstairs to downstairs or room to room.
Here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006254354123.html? The 14-15.4 inch variant takes my MBP 16 inch beautifully (note the 16 inch is screensize not the physical MBP dimensions which are smaller: Height: 0.66 inch (1.68 cm) · Width: 14.01 inches (35.57 cm) · Depth: 9.77 inches (24.81 cm).
Another alternative case where you can also remove the clasp. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005963004024.html?
In my case, I modified the case by removing the zip clasp and glueing the end of the zip so it remains closed. Why do this? Because the last thing I want is a metal clasp which protrudes to dent the MBP when I put the laptop down. And anyway, there is a non-zipped pocket on the other side where one can slip a sheet of paper in if one needs to.
And here is a photo of the case. You can see the zip clasp here for that pocket. I removed that.
Note that the zip to close the case has a protective bead so that the zip will not scratch the MBP.

The marks are caused by the side rubbers, they are worn and not aesthetically pleasing, consider shadows of circles on the front and back of the machine
Do you mean the inside protection has worn away and exposed rubber cushioning?
