This review is from: Acme Made Smart Laptop Sleeve, MB Pro 15 (Wet White Antik) (Personal Computers)

I purchased this product after returning a neoprene sleeve that didn't fit my MacBookPro13. I had put a Speck see-through case on my MacBook (which I also love) but it made it a tad too tight for the neoprene case. When I saw this product online, I figured I'd give it a try. I absolutely love this sleeve. It's got a soft inner liner, the MacBook is protected from the zippers with a liner on the underside of the zipper, and the detachable carry strap is very comfortable. And because it's a top opening zipper, I can put the whole thing inside my bigger wheeled case and just slide my Mac in and out without having to remove the sleeve first. The sleeve description calls it white, but it's more of an off-white, not a bright white, however, it makes is more sophisticated looking. The design is on one side and the other side is black. The whole case is lighter than the neoprene sleeve that I returned, plus the carry strap is excellent, strong, comfortable and removable. I just love this product. It does everything I was looking for and I get a lot of compliments on it too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stylish Laptop Sleeve, June 14, 2010

(What's this?)

This is a stylish laptop sleeve designed for quick jaunts where all you need is a laptop, without charger or peripheral devices, or it can be slipped into a proper laptop bag or case. Although the description says that it's white, it's not entirely accurate. The color is closer to eggshell with small opalescent flakes and it truly stands out behind the black swirl patterns. Plus the sheen helps to set it off.

The back, sides, and bottom of the sleeve are constructed from a vinyl mesh material and there is a good amount of padding on the front and back (the sides and bottom have thinner padding). As far as it being water-resistant, I splashed some water on the (empty) bag and was glad to see the interior remained dry, however, this is not a sleeve you want to be caught with in a downpour minus an umbrella.

It comes with a detachable shoulder strap and the clasps are made of quality metal. The strap itself is made of a similar material as the back, side, and bottom of the bag, but it doesn't come with a shoulder pad. For short trips this isn't a problem, but with extended wear with a heavy laptop it can start cutting into the shoulder.

The zipper placement makes the computer easily accessible when slid into a messenger/briefcase style laptop bag, but a pain when slid into a backpack style laptop bag. With the latter you need to take the entire sleeve out of the bag in order to get to the zipper, but it's not a deal-breaker.

As far as the bag's capacity, although the description states that it will fit most 15" notebook computers, I found that my 15" Sony Vaio and my sister's 15" Toshiba Satellite were too big, but my other sister's 14" HP fit nicely. Since I already have a sleeve that works well with my Sony this wasn't a problem for me. I simply use this sleeve to carry my Wacom Intuos3 Tablet (medium); it fits perfectly, wires and accessories.

Overall, this is a great and great-looking sleeve, but if you aren't using a Macbook Pro notebook computer, I'd suggest testing it out first to make sure your laptop will actually fit.

UPDATE 8/20/10: After a couple months using this sleeve--I've been using it with my graphic tablet and my netbook (which also allows me to carry the charging cord and a portable external hard drive)--I wanted to update this review with some new experiences.

First, I've received numerous compliments on the design, so the style is in vogue.

Second, the interior flaps which are designed to protect your computer from the zipper continually get snagged, which is problematic esp. if you're in a hurry and need to zip up quickly. Also, the small bits of fabric attached to the zipper which you use to zip/unzip are not secured in any way which means it can slip off easily. These deficits aren't deal-breakers, IMO, but are annoying enough to warrant an update.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, could have used a pocket, June 17, 2010

(What's this?)

This is a very nice bag. It's light and looks great. My only complaint is that it could have really used some sort of small pocket. I know it's marketed as a sleeve, but since it does have a shoulder strap, it implies to me that it can be carried by itself. Somewhere to put my wallet or even just credit card would have been nice for when I go out with my computer and don't want to take another bag along. Other than that, great product!
