I've had the tomtoc for my 2018 16 inch macbook pro for years and its held up beautifully (and it was super affordable) going to go with them again for my 2023 M3 Max MBP 14"
For me, the only important reason to have a laptop sleeve is for drop protection. Only the less expensive (and padded) ones you featured serve that purpose. The thin (and more expensive) sleeves in the video are only good for scratch protection - almost useless in my opinion.
The point of using a laptop sleeve is to protect your laptop from the outside world. The sleeve creates a barrier between the laptop and the outside world, which can prevent scratches and scuffs. Impact protection is also important, but it's only one aspect of a laptop sleeve's protection.
Hi Thanks for video .Please can you tell me what you have on your keyboard? My niggle with m1max is black keys on black background( eyesight nit so sharp).Looks like you got some kind of overlay there.Thanks
Good question! I actually tested it out with my 11 inch ipad and it fit but it stuck out of the sleeve. I have a feeling the iPad mini would be a better iPad to put into the front pocket. 👍
Wow, so many horrible designs on the more premium end. Also, it seems impossible to find thin and actually compact laptop sleeves for simple scratch protection. I'm not planning to expose my laptop to 3 meters drops and expect it to be protected; I just need basic everyday cosmetic protection in the most compact way possible.
Sorry, but you should absolutely NEVER charge a laptop while it’s inside a sleeve or case! The heat buildup would probably just shut down charging, but it could very easily become a fire hazard. I hope the gaps in these cases are not actually advertised for this purpose.
Great reviews, really clear, thank you! Going with the Tomtoc for my new 15" Mac Air.
Great review! Helped me avoid a mistake, was going to buy orbit but leaning towards padded now

Don’t go down in size. Get the 16, you are not going to get used to the smaller 14
@@John_R_Jackson_III I did go with the 14 and I've been loving it. I took it with me on several trips and the portability has been a great asset.

very good sleeve！
does an iPad fit in the native union stow front pocket?

Will it scratches the Macbook (MOft 3 in 1 Sleeve)?
I’ve been using the moft sleeve for a while now and I haven’t received any sort of scratches from it. 👍
why do
you think it would scratch it ? is the inside not from the appropriate materials ?

You mean don't charge "Windows" laptop in a sleeve. MacBook pro M series barely gets warm.
