I ordered this sleeve/bag for my work laptop, a new 17" MacBookPro. It was difficult to find something to fit such a large laptop that wasn't extraordinarily expensive and ugly. I chose this product because it seemed to be what I wanted and I liked the colors and design on the side.

The fit is supposed to be snug but I could have gotten away with the smaller size. I bought the recommended size and have 3" of slack in the width and the same in height and depth.

What annoys me most about this bag is that the accessories pocket is on the opposite side as the flower design which makes no sense. If you buy this bag it's because you like the design and are likely going to carry it with the design facing away from your body. That leaves the accessories pocket facing your body, which if you store your powercord or other somewhat bulky materials in it, it will constantly be bumping into your hip or side.

The other major design flaw is the placement of the handles. The handles cannot be used when the bag is zipped closed because the handles are attached on the inside. All handling has to be done with the shoulder strap which is not at all convenient when moving the bag in/out of a car or doing anything else that involves putting it down and picking it back up.

I do not recommend this product as a safe or convenient sleeve/bag for your laptop. I wish I had returned it.

Great bag for the price. Nice padding and dark gunmetal gray background that won't show dirt easily, the flower design is actually prettier in person than it looks on-line. Was hard to find a slim, neoprene, creative looking, 17" case with both carry handles and a shoulder strap...so this was a good find!

Just wish the shoulder strap was padded though. I might purchase one separately because my 17" HP Pavilion is heavy.

I found that the laptop sleeve I received last year as a gift was useless without a handle or strap to carry it with--it was VERY pretty--but useless. I need a cane to walk so I couldn't exactly balance it on my head, either. The Laurex Laptop Sleeve comes with both, a shoulder strap and small handles. Don't panic when you get it, the handles are tucked inside, and, it has a handy, roomy zippered pocket to carry a mouse or other objects.
The only feature that's keeping me from giving the sleeve 5 stars is its vulnerability to rain or damage from a bump.Otherwise, I recommend you buy it; it's lightweight, pretty, soft, and comfortable.
But, best of all, it has straps and a handle! I don't know how people can manage without those!
