Too many times I've wrapped my laptop in a towel inside a suitcase, or dropped it into a rucksack and risked it not being protected. Sure, I could buy a bag designed for laptops, but they are often huge, bulky and heavy. So I end up slotting it in my usual bag and jumping on a train. What's the worst that can happen, after all?
Given the amount of money we spend on our Macs, this approach is crazy. So when I had the opportunity to try out the Leather Sleeve from Manuel Dreesmann (fave.co/4ffT3Fc) just before going on vacation, it seemed like a good idea.
The Leather Sleeve from Manuel Dreesmann isn't cheap at $197/£153/€175, but you get luxury MacBook protection. It's a slim leather sleeve that the MacBook slots into. I tried the 13-inch MacBook Air version, but there's a sleeve for every current MacBook size, and the company says it can make a sleeve for any laptop.
Manuel Dreesmann is an independent atelier of handcrafted leather products, based in Barcelona, Spain. It ships all over the world.
