Just incase any of you have ANY quality concerns, I thought I'd post these pics...
I've had my applesac for almost a year now. I would say I'm an "extreme" user, in that my laptop goes with me everywhere, every day, and it goes in and out of the sleeve at least 5 times a day, so it gets more abuse than most people would probably give it. The sleeve gets carried around in a messenger bag with a lot of other stuff, and this applesac does a great job protecting my MB from every-day life...
After all this time, surprisingly, the sleeve hasn't really stretched. You can see my thumb in there on the side, and I had to squeeze it in there... so it's still snug. The padding inside is a little flat, and I thought washing might make it soft and fluffy again, but I don't know about that sort of risk.
This is laying flat, and me grabbing the velcro and pulling it up... still very velcro-y... almost like the day I got it...
The pocket has a mouse and the power cord in there. The pocket has stretched a little, and the adapter will slide around if given the chance to be held sideways or (duh) upside down...
The only thing that's getting old about it is that it's getting "fuzzy". Like I said, this may be due to my excessive use. The fuzzyness doesn't come off like a lint, it's just... there...
Hope this helps a little. I'm very happy I went with this one when I found them online a year ago. You guys will be, too.
