Colcasac (applesac) sleeve?

[M-5]

I have the original AppleSac, and quite honestly I find myself disappointed. Yes it sheds. It doesn't shed too much, but I've carried the notebook with the sleeve as if you're carrying books, and after I put the notebook down, I'll find many little fibers on my shirt. It's a lot more noticeable when I wear a black shirt. I've passed a lint roller over it several times, but it hasn't worked really well.

I don't like the fit that much. It could be tighter, and the velcro seems off. If you're going to stuff it into a backpack, make sure that your backpack is at least a little bit padded up inside because this case is really thin. I'm a little worried about carrying it inside a backpack with other books. A case such as the Incase neoprene sleeve would probably offer better protection.

So I hate carrying it around because if I carry it in a bag I'm afraid that my MacBook will get dented from just placing the bag down since it's very thin. And I can't carry it in my arms either because I'll be covered in the fibers.

This is just my honest opinion.

I was comparing it to the Incase Neoprene Sleeve which is of course a sleeve as well. I was stating how I believe that case would fair much better in the situations that the AppleSac would not.

So you're not comparing like with like. Nice. 🙄

The tuck pack is HUGE relative to the sleeves being discussed. Totally unsuitable for putting it in another bag unless of course you have an absolutely massive bag.

I am as they are both sleeves. One just performs better than the other.
