Has anyone here gotten this sleeve for their MacBook Air? I ordered it on amazon but is it just too big for the air, it just wiggles around in the sleeve :/ . Some reviews on amazon say it fits like a glove, others say that it doesn't fit so well, how has your experience been?

 
Given it’s a universal sleeve, I wouldnt expect it to fit perfectly. May be worth returning if you can and get an incase sleeve specifically for the 13” air/pro, rather than one ‘compatible’ with.

That is the thing, I think they don't offer a sleeve specifically made for the MacBook Air, I don't hink I have ever seen a sleeve made specifically for the MacBook Air to be honest :/

You need one that’s for the pro or air, as theyre the same footprint.

i have one for sale on my ebay account if interested. I have a macbook air 2020 so i can put it in and take some pics if interested? You can see on the bottom right of the pic it says it's for the macbook pro 13"


I bought quite a few of these to sell when i found them originally as I'd never seen this design before- ebay global shipping price seems crazy (more than I'm selling the case for!) so if you're interested in buying, I can put one on the marketplace here and look into international shipping.

Not sure if it helps as I have a different sleeve, but I have the Incase 13" compact sleeve in flight nylon and it fits both my 2018 13" MBP and M1 MBA fairly well. There is a tiny bit of leeway at the sides and my MBA can move inside it, but it's not a huge amount of leeway and I don't really notice my MBA moving inside it unless I'm specifically looking out for it!

(This Incase 13" compact sleeve in flight nylon is listed on the Apple store app as compatible with the M1 MBA.)

Thanks for your offer, but I like monochromatic everything. I just want a black or gray sleeve :oops:

You are right, apparently the classic one is for many laptops, the one you have (the compact) is for the MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air.

Also the MacBook icon sleeve is listed as compatible, but I like the design of the compact better, I will give it a go, thank you!
