If you're looking for a simple and discreet MacBook sleeve, why not try the STM Glove? It's got everything the modern Mac user would expect from a MacBook sleeve, and then some, at a very affordable price.
Because of the tightness of this MacBook sleeve, you can be sure your beloved MacBook won't be squirming inside its sleeve, even when tossed around in a backpack. Feel free to throw other books and knick knacks into your backpack as well, the STM Glove will easily protect your MacBook from scratches and harm. Very useful for students and travelers who need to carry other stuff as well.
The zipper is made to a very high standard, and it shows as you zip it up. Unfortunately, there are no handles or grip pads on the exterior, but then again this is only a sleeve. Anything extra would simply ruin the sleek lines and aesthetics of this product. Although it's only available in black, the color actually makes this MacBook sleeve look professional and business-like.
If you're looking for a more trendy color or design, check out the Poppy sleeve or Built NY's Laptop Sleeve. The durability of the STM Glove is simply amazing. The folks over at MacNN got bored after reviewing it, so they decided to pour water on it and to fold this MacBook sleeve between two solid books. The STM Glove fought through its trials, leaving not a single crease behind. Stunning.
The STM Glove is available in sizes all the way from the 12-inch iBook and PowerBook to the 17-inch MacBook Pro and PowerBook. No matter which Apple laptop you own, you will always find an STM Glove for it. Covering the entire Apple laptop lineup shows the amount of dedication and attention that STM put into this product.
Cleaning isn't a major issue; dabbing the bag with a damp cloth or towel will usually suffice. STM advices that you do not machine wash the bag or use soap on the interior because the padding can absorb water or break down upon contact with a strong detergent. Although the STM Glove is built to an exceptionally high quality, it still comes with a lifetime warranty. The lifetime warranty only covers defects from materials and workmanship.
Based in Australia, STM specializes in transporting your digital cargo (also known as your laptops, ipods and what not). Originating in the famous beachside suburb of Bondi, STM bags were designed to accommodate a casual lifestyle while still looking stylish in a workplace environment. When the company first started in 1998, they design their own chic range to compete with black briefcase-style bags that were obviously carrying laptops.
No matter where you go, you'll definitely regret leaving your STM Glove behind.
