This is a really nice case for carrying a Macbook and a variety of accessories. As I am not a backpack kind of guy, I needed a case that could transport my Macbook, as well as all my needful accessories ( power cord, mouse, remote, etc ). Surprisingly, there are not a lot of compact cases to choose from that accommodate all these things. The Marware case seemed the best choice.
I like the feel of the case. Orca skin is a nice touch. The roomy zippered compartment is plenty adequate for my storage needs. A semi-rigid frame provides good protection for the notebook. The notebook compartment features a lined nylon zipper to protect from scratches when taking out or putting the Macbook away. The compartment itself is plush lined to baby my Mac. All in all, a very nice case.
I do have two concerns though. First of all, the case simply will not stand upright as it is pictured in the ad display. The orca skin wraparound results in a rounded bottom causing the case to be completely unstable when resting on its bottom. Plan on laying it down when you put it down, if you don't, it will ungracefully lay itself down for you!
Secondly, the notebook compartment needs to open more widely. The zipper barely extends beyond the top corners of the case making one hand loading or unloading of the notebook somewhat difficult.
I give this case 4 stars for being very good in most important respects. I just wish it would stand up and open up !

Love it. Absolutely perfect if your looking for a case and not a sleeve. One pocket holds my Macbook nice and snug while the other pocket has plenty of room for my mouse, iPod, chargers et cetera. Outer pockets (one zipped, one open) are plenty fine for some paperwork or a couple of magazines. The Shoulder strap has a non-slip pad so it works wonderfully well even when the case is pretty full. Marware did a very good job with the design and construction of this product. The zippers (on the computer pocket) are lined so no need to worry about zipper scratches. Great product.

I was looking for the right case to transport my MacBook and this is it. It's compact, versatile, and very well constructed. My MacBook fits perfectly inside (it was after all designed specifically for the MacBook) and it has pockets designed specifically for the power adapter, your iPod, etc. It even goes so far as to have a small insulated hole in the accessory pouch to keep headphones connected to your iPod while it's in the bag.

While it doesn't have a lot of extra storage room, it can comfortably hold a small amount of papers and accessories. If you lug around a ton of paperwork look elsewhere. If you're looking for a small compact bag that fits your Macbook perfectly, look no further!

This is a great bag. Fits snuggly to your Mac, but still has plenty of room for all the extras like cords, remote, and headphones. Not enough room for carrying papers or files, but that isn't what I wanted. It is very thick, so protection to your Mac is excellent. I got the black bag instead of the blue for professional look and am glad I did so. The blue one would have looked too much like a regulator bag for diving - not a look for the office.

Finding 13" notebook cases at the retail level is nearly impossible. 15" appears to be the threshold for OfficeMax, Staples, Best Buy, etc., and I didn't want my 13" MacBook swimming in an oversized bag. However, I wanted more than a sleeve configuration. I flew last week, and brought the computer along. This bag is an ideal blend of compactness/portability and storage space. It was able to accommodate the MacBook power adapter, a short (retractable) ethernet cable, earbuds, magazines and other paperwork, and my boarding pass, with room to spare. The bag is light, and the computer compartment is perfectly sized with ample padding. I have a minor concern about long-term durability, but I'll reserve judgment for now (it's only a few weeks old). Thumbs way up for this bag.

This Case is perfect. It isn't too big or too small. I have my Mac Book Pro, cordless mouse, power cords, and portable hard drive in there with still plenty of room to spare. Not that it is a big deal, but the only negative I can think of is it won't stand up on end... it must be laid down or leaning against something. Everything else is great!

great bag for protecting and carrying my macbook, but after seeing some other bags in person @ the apple store, i kinda wish i got a backpack instead with more room and faux fur feel .incase,oakley and wenger make good bags ! i'ts got good pockets and sufficient room, but gets a little tight when i put my macbook in with its mcally shell on.i give it 3 stars.

This is one of the best cases I have ever owned for a laptop computer. The space for the macbook pro is perfectly sized and cushioned to ensure that the laptop is extremely safe. There is also a nice cover separating the computer from the zippers which prevents any scratches from the zippers.
The bag is extremely spacious, I can easily fit my macbook, ipod, ac power adapter, mouse and usb cables without adding any bulk what so ever.
The bag is also very attractive and the perfect size to carry around school with.
Overall I am very happy with this purhcase and though this bag is a little more expensive than some of the other options, it is definitely worth it considering the quality of this laptop bag.

I bought the Marware Sportfolio Deluxe for my son's MacBook as a Christmas gift. He says it is just the right size for his MacBook and is so convenient for transporting it---light weight and easy to tote.

It has all the space you need in order to fit all macbook items (power supply, mouse, remote, etc). It is very confortable to carry and seems to protect your Macbook pretty well.
