This was one of nearly a half dozen bags and cases I picked up for my new Lenovo U330 (13.3"). It arrived with a cardboard insert that sticks out through the zipper, causing the zipper to deform. Even after 2 months of use, the zipper still isn't straight, and you can't really zip it with one hand. It also occassionally makes contact with the laptop, particularly when you're sliding it in or out, so I worry about scratches.

The pouches on the side look cool, but are only marginally useful for anyone using a regular power brick (though maybe not the mac's thin square power adapter). Any normal brick will stick out of the largest pocket and the cords also stick out and really detract from the overall coolness of the case. Basically, I just tuck a PDA in the large pocket and my small USB tether cords in the middle one, and a thumb drive in the small. If I want to bring my laptop cord, I use a different bag.

Overall, it's a cool-looking, decently-built bag (some stitching is coming loose already, but it's triple-stitched). At half this price I would have given it 4 stars, but for a premium case, it has its flaws. Mac users and those who don't typically carry the cord might be happier with it. Most other users should consider the Case Logic with the large zippered side pocket, which costs much less.

i recently bought a built ny cargo sleeve for my macbook. i was skeptical with purchasing this item as the first 2 built ny products i bought didn't exactly fit my macbook to a T. but this one is perfect! the 3 extra pockets have more than enough room for other accessories that i carry with my laptop everyday....charger, mouse and flash drives.

I was a little nervous about the mixed reviews- but the sleeve fits my 13 inch Macbook just fine. The pockets on the front aren't super useful- but I can fit my cord in the biggest one. This is not the bag you want if you plan on hauling along all your extra gear- but works great for just the laptop and cord. I'm not sure how well it would actually protect my computer if it got dropped, but it is a nice cushion that prevents scratches and whatnot.

Fits my new silver Aluminum 13" macbook wonderfully. Its snug in the length, but there is a bit of room on the corners width wise. But snug. Laptop does not move around in it. Absolutely love the pockets. Very glad I got this case.

Good product! The pockets come very handy and the case is well built!
I bought this cast for a month long trip I made to Brazil. It preformed to my expectation. The reason I took off 1 star was because the stitches came off a little. But the case went through an extensive use in that month, and it is holding good, no tears, or parts coming off.

i recently purchased a macbook and wanted a slim protective sleeve that i could use when traveling that held more than just the laptop. the built ny cargo laptop sleeve looked to cover that need by allowing us to also hold the power cord and cleaning cloth. i'm pleased with the sleeve, but noticed the largest pocket is getting stretched out from the power adapter. if you're looking for something simple to carry your limited gear, this should do the trick.

I just bought a macbook and needed protection and i bought this and it fits perfect. I can carry it around in my handbag and it dont get scratch up.
Its the best.

This arrive promptly and was exactly as advertised. Works well with my laptop and is a great fit for a Macbook. The pockets are useful, but they tend to get stretched out if filled with bulky stuff after some time. Decent sleeve for the price, and great color.
