Has anyone used this before? I have a B&W watch roll and it's very high quality, but I'm wondering how their sleeves are. I don't mind the high price, but I'm getting the 11" iPad Pro and it looks like this sleeve might be too big and the iPad would wiggle around inside. wondering if I might need a sleeve in addition to this case, and then I can put my notepad and fountain pens in there without worrying about scratching the iPad. thoughts? thanks

The thoughts are this is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. Ive had ipads since the day they came out, nobody needs something like this. Get on ebay and amazon, and just find something cheap. Youre fine. Even if you can afford it and have no problem with the price, thats the biggest waste I can think of.

I can see that there might not be a need for a $600 dollar (actually $580) case but what about the one below that one?

Flight Folio, Brown Leather​

Regular price $820.00

The case looks nice but massively too thick on the inside for an 11" iPad Pro. They show a laptop inside and there's still loads of space. If you used a magic keyboard with it it would help fill it, but it seems too spacious from my eyes.
 
I got a MacBook leather sleeve for my 12" MacBook from Harber London and it's great. Many of the sleeves and cases are designed specifically for Apple devices. The one for my MacBook is an exact fit, and won't fit just about anything else.

The prices reflect the fact it's leather, but they're not ridiculously priced, unlike the Bennet Winch.

Back when I tended to keep my phones for several years I had purchased Vaja cases from Brazil. They are custom made with colors you can choose. These were the best such cases I’ve ever seen. Definitely not cheap but for a device that’s seldom replaced such a cost can be justified.

Yea you are right. It’s perfect for 14” mbp and my 11” m4 iPad.
