I Have this one in black, arrived before the MBA so can't say if it fits or not but according to the reviews it should be perfect. My use case is: I always move around/travel with a small backpack. I wanted some sleeve to keep the mac things organized and protected when moving. Not having to care much about how I drop the backpack etc.
TLDR: Perfect case for this.
First impressions:
- The inside is super soft. Looks really good to protect your MBA. The inner fabric is super smooth to the touch.
- The 'bubbles' inside seem just like an odd/fancy design, but from a practical design perspective I think it's a smart decision. If a small stone gets into the sleeve, it will fall into the part of lower resistance, while the MBA will be in contact with the bumps instead. This way, the bumps can prevent scratches.
- The MBA fits into a cushioned frame (never touches the zip). Lower corners are reinforced too.
- The front pocket is big enough to fit the charger, USB hub, an A5 notebook and a pen. Probably something else.
- The case is kind of water resistant. That makes the external fabric touch less premium than leather. Maybe this is the only thing I don't like. The outside touch is less premium to get practical features for day to day usage (maybe more resistant to water powder etc). Let's say it looks premium until you touch it hah.
- Feels robust. Come from a Beez sleeve. Was softer and without all the features apart from good foam. The external fabric was softer to the touch but less resistant. I feel my MBA will be way more protected in the Tomtoc than the Beez for sure.
- Zips are ok.
- Started searching for a Beez but their sleeves seem to be outdated and not fitting properly the new 13". Tomtoc came with this solution and are based in LA, this was a plus.
To sum up, if you prioritize protection, practicality and money against the premium touch of leather, that's perfect.
If you prioritize leather (which I do for example for my wallet) I'd look at Bellroy.
