Laptop Sleeves and Cases

Laptop sleeves and cases take the daily damage a notebook would otherwise absorb: the knock against a desk edge, the pressure of books packed beside it, the rain on the walk to class. Most buyers here already own the machine and want a protective layer wrapped around it before it goes into a bag or under an arm.

The range is built around WiWU. Alpha double layer sleeves come in a 14 inch size in black and gray, with a second internal layer that adds padding without adding much bulk. Alongside them sit waterproof polyester cases with a firmer outer shell, and slim sleeves shaped for people who slide the machine into a larger bag. Pricing spreads wide, from entry level sleeves through to premium constructions.

Two decisions carry most of the weight.

• Fit comes first: a sleeve cut for a 14 inch screen assumes a chassis of a certain footprint, and a thicker machine with the same screen size can refuse to slide in, so measure the body of the laptop rather than trusting the screen number.
• Construction comes second. A double layer sleeve soaks up impact and stays soft enough to fold into a bag. A waterproof polyester case holds its shape and shrugs off spills, and gives up some flexibility for that. Choose based on whether the sleeve rides inside another bag or gets carried on its own.

Who It Suits

A student moving between classes with a 14 inch notebook in a backpack gains the most from a double layer sleeve, since the padding sits between the machine and the books next to it. Anyone who walks or rides to work in the rain should weigh the waterproof polyester case instead. Office users who hand carry a laptop from desk to meeting room tend to want the slimmest sleeve that still covers the corners.
