Hi Everyone,

I have a zipperless sleeve for my 2018 13” MBA by incase and love it.

( Incase Incase Neoprene Sleeve For Macbook Air 13-Inch - Black (CL57802) https://a.co/d/4lFHPAL )

Despite the reviews, it’s amazing for my use case and doesn’t have any zippers I’d worry about scratching the laptop.

Does a similar zipperless product exist for the 15” MBA?

If not, can anyone recommend something they really love? Even if you have a different size zipperless sleeve or case (13”, 14”, or 16”), please comment here so we can watch those models for a 15” MBA release when they’re available.

Thank you!

Waterfield Designs has the Neo Sleeve with no zipper. It's 4mm thick. I just bought one but haven't received yet. Ships late June.

It's not zipper-less but the zipper is separated from the laptop inside by padded piping on the Amazon Basics 14-Inch Laptop Sleeve, Protective Case with Zipper

The fit is perfect for the 15" MBA. One small nitpick is that the zip doesn't go far enough down the sides to plug in a USB-C cable however the MagSafe works well with it.

I also ordered the Waterfield Magnetic Laptop Sleeve linked above in the vertical configuration which should make accessing the ports easy. Got the blue canvas to match my dirty midnight. :) It arrives on Thursday!

I use this MacBook Air sleeve with an iPad Air. It doesn't come in a 15" size currently, but who knows?

I have lots of Topo gear, both apparel and bags, because their products are well designed, well made, and have a lifetime warranty.

The 14 inch sleeve fits the 15 inch air?

Received mine yesterday and I love the design and the no zipper. Has a nice "gripper" on the bottom as well for carrying out of my backpack.

I got mine yesterday too but don't have my MBA yet. I had the previous generation of this sleeve which was thin thin thin suede. The Neo is thicker, but still pretty minimal. I mainly want this for the airport and putting in my bag.
