I’m kind of obsessed with laptop cases. Like a purse or shoes, it is tough to find the perfect bag. One that is top of my list right now is from Designer Sleeves.

The slender Neoprene sleeve offers protection without bulk or added weight. On a recent trip, I was able to slip my laptop into the front pouch of my suitcase until I checked in to get around the two carryon items rule. There is a zippered pouch on the front for cables and chargers. The pocket is very small – my MacBook charging cable barely made it in, and I gave up on getting the mouse in there. I would like a small handle on top for easy handling. Price points are around $40.

As their name would suggest, Designer Sleeves offers hundreds of different prints on their laptop sleeves. I loved the industrial, apocalyptic “Skelestar” style. Another favorite is the inter-office envelope, for the MacBook Air. Others include tie-dyes, animal prints, camouflage, tropical beaches, flowers, waterscapes, and much more. They will even work with you to make custom-designed laptop cases. There are no prices listed for this service, but it is meant for corporate orders.

Sleeves come in six different sizes, but be forewarned: just because the photos on the website portray MacBook Pros sticking out of all the cases doesn’t mean they are sized for MacBooks. MacBook sleeves are in a separate section. Sadly, only six designs are currently available (only three for the MacBook Air – but one of those looks like a manila envelope, like in the commercials).
