This case is a great idea that began for the MacBook Air. A tan case like this with an Air in it really looks like an interoffice envelope. I figured I would try one out with it's bigger brother the MacBook Pro. I'm so glad I did. The red string closure really adds contrast to the overall look. People see it and have no idea what's inside. It offers good protection and a touch of class. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

The Manila-13 is well padded, fits a uni-body MacBook Pro 13" very nicely and the red tie string always gets noticed! The leather is not "buttah" smooth Italian leather, but neither is the price. While the product description on Amazon is accurate, the "V-Neck cut-away design for easy computer retrieval" statement puzzled me. I had to look again at the sleeve and see that, yes, there is a "V". It's very shallow though, less than a 1/2 inch deep. A deeper "V" wouldn't hurt.

I wavered on my star rating for the Manila-13. Four stars because it was in black instead of tan, leather that is more Houston cowhide than Milanese leather. But I gave the Manila-13 five stars because it is exactly what it says it is; well made, well priced. I'm happy I bought it.
