(5 out of 5)Great slip cover for Macbook
First - this is not meant for active protection of your Macbook/notebook. It is made of neoprene which at best will protect your computer from scratches. If you drop it on the ground with this on...well, it'll keep all the parts together rather than them flying off in all directions. Point being: buy another cover if you want more protection.
That being said...I like this cover. It's nice, unobtrusive, and cheap. After buying the Macbook and then agonizing over what was the best slip cover to buy, I decided to go with this inexpensive Tacano product in lieu of the Incase one that Apple sells on its website.
As far as I can tell, the two are very much alike. I am very happy with this purchase. After the reviews of the Incase brand on the Apple website, i will throw this in the washer just in case there is leftover dye on this product...don't want my white macbook potentially stained by its black cover (don't know if this would happen, but I'd rather be overly cautious than regret not acting -- read some reviews about this on the apple store website).
Anyway, onto the review. Not much to say. It looks like it was designed specifially for macbooks - as it fits like a glove. My MB fits very snuggly inside the case with very little play on any side. There is a protective sliver of material that parallels the zipper so as to protect your MB from scratches. One thing about the zipper protector, once you put the computer in and start to zip up the case, you have to actually make sure its in its place before you zip up the cover. Since the material is rather malleable, the protector can be pushed back out of the way as you slid the MB in place...no big deal, just something to be mindful of.
Other than that ... stitching looks nice and solid. Oh and it weighs next to nothing - so if weight is concern, with the Tucano product, you need not worry. Also it doesn't add any unnecessary bulk to your MB.
Overall this seems to be a very well thought out product and serves my purposes well...as I plan to throw this into a larger bag. So if you're like me and couldn't decide between the Incase and the Tucano - go with the Tucano, it does the same thing, provides the same amount of protection, and is $20 cheaper.
(5 out of 5)A Perfect Fit
So after I got my Macbook and fell in love with it, the next thing to do was to protect the investment. This sleeve is by far one of the best investments one can make. The Macbook is made in a handy size and this sleeve provides the perfect protection for carrying the computer without fear of scratches or nicks.
To be clear, this is not a hard case and will not provide armor like protection. This is great for someone like me who will grab the Macbook and toss it into a larger bag with other 'stuff' that may rattle around.
If that sounds like you, you won't be disappointed.
(3 out of 5)Slick look, wish there was a pocket for the charger
This looks sharp- a water resistant neoprene black zipper sleeve holds my laptop snug and matches my black Macbook. My current laptop bag had a 17" sleeve, which was too roomy, and my Macbook slid around inside the sleeve. Nylon Zipper has an inner lining that protects the laptop from brushing against the teeth of the laptop. This sleeve is handy for carrying around the laptop on its own. Too bad there's no pocket for the charger. Great deal on Amazon, price was a factor in my selection.
I would have liked the sleeve to have a black zipper instead of gray for a uniform look. Also, the sleeve is labelled with "polycarbonate" and "Tucano second skin folder" on the other side, which doesn't show in the image on Amazon.
(4 out of 5)good sleeve, worth the price
This is a pretty good sleeve for the Macbook 13.3". The computer fits perfectly and the sleeve does not add any size; this is exactly what I wanted so that I can easy tuck my MacBook into a tote and carry it with me to class. The sleeve is slightly more flimsy than I had expected, but it still offers very good protection -- it's not like I plan on throwing my laptop around on hard gravel.
(5 out of 5)Perfect sleeve for 13.3" Macbook
I had been using an old PC laptop case that was much too large for my 13.3" Macbook before acquiring this neoprene sleeve. Initially, I looked into the equivalent Incase product but was worried that it would stain my white Macbook (as mentioned in several reviews). I purchased this neoprene sleeve instead and am very pleased! No staining at all and it fits the 13.3" Macbook beautifully. The product does exactly what it says it does. It is a snug sleeve meant to protect the outer surface of the laptop that you can then fit inside another bag. Those customers expecting to fit other items in the sleeve with their laptops would be defeating the purpose of this sleeve.
