Best MacBook Sleeve Options for Your Needs

Your expensive Apple MacBook Air or MacBook Pro is a thing of beauty. It deserves better than being dropped loose into the bottom of your backpack or satchel. Whether you’re a regular jet setter or just want protection on your daily commute, an Apple laptop sleeve is key.

Here, we’re collecting the very best MacBook sleeve options for tech enthusiasts just like you. These are the best laptop sleeves for MacBook Air, Pro, and more. Read on to discover your new daily carry.

The Best MacBook Air Sleeve

The MacBook Air is so thin and lightweight that you’d be forgiven for simply tossing it into a bag. But help protect that lustrous aluminum finish with a laptop sleeve that can hug every inch.

The best MacBook Air sleeve is going to be one that works seamlessly, not one that is cumbersome to open and close.

When protecting your MacBook Air, our best sleeve is the Magnetic Laptop Sleeve for MacBook. It offers a slim profile and bespoke waxed canvas styling. It will hug every inch of your MacBook Air with care, thanks to its neoprene padding. And access is a breeze thanks to our smart magnetic closure.

As a bonus, the Magnetic Laptop Sleeve also comes in sizes that are custom-fit for the MacBook Pro.

This Magnetic Laptop Sleeve is a top choice due to its custom magnetic opening. Simply flip the silent flap open, slip your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro inside, and secure with one fluid motion. The Sleeve can be used on its own, or it can be easily slid into a backpack, messenger bag, or luggage for even more protection.

The Best MacBook Pro Sleeve

The flagship Apple laptop deserves to be stored in WaterField Design's most tried and true laptop sleeve: the original SleeveCase. It is the first laptop sleeve WaterField Designs ever produced when PowerBook G4 was released in 2001, and it has been going strong since then.

Made from sturdy waxed canvas or resilient ballistic nylon, the Sleeve Case is a no-nonsense sleeve that was designed to be simple, light, and protective. Full-grain leather accents give the sleeve a touch of class and a full, thick neoprene liner provides the stored laptop with much-needed impact resistance.

The SleeveCase is one of our most versatile sleeves since it can be placed inside many different bags, or it can be used as a standalone item thanks to an optional shoulder strap attachment.

If you're looking for a sleeve that is built to outlive the laptop that it's holding, the SleeveCase is the perfect choice.

The Best MacBook Sleeve for Professionals

Some laptop cases are more about function than form. Don’t get caught in the boardroom with an unprofessional-looking case.

Consider materials, stitch type, and finish when choosing the best MacBook sleeve for professionals.

Our portable Folio Laptop Sleeve is a great example of form following function. It’s solidly built to protect your MacBook with a neoprene interior and waxed canvas exterior.

To distinguish itself from the crowd, while still retaining a professional aesthetic, the Folio Laptop Sleeve employs a durable, full-grain leather front panel that acts as a pocket and adds extra protection. Available in horizontal and vertical orientations, you can slip it inside a bigger bag like a backpack or use it on its own with the optional sling strap attachment.

If you’re looking for minimal protection for your MacBook, our Neo laptop sleeve for MacBook features traditional styling, reinforced neoprene stitching, and executive looks. Made of thick neoprene, insert your MacBook into the smooth interior and have it continuously protected. The sturdy neoprene construction will help prevent the occasional dings and bumps.

The Best Leather MacBook Sleeve

Discover a style appropriate for the boardroom and living room alike. Our Vero Leather Sleeve for MacBook Pro is made from a single piece of premium full-grain leather. It carries a professional aesthetic you can see and feel.

Its plush lining will keep your MacBook Pro secure, while cutouts allow you to charge your laptop without taking it out of its case. The full-grain leather exterior will develop a beautiful patina over time and will look even more luxurious as it ages.

Meanwhile, its quick access design means you’ve got the best leather laptop sleeve for on-the-go computing. Take this portable accessory on your commute, in the sky, or anywhere else. We’re confident it will be the only leather case you’ll ever want to hold.

The Best Carry-All

Our best sleeves for MacBook Air and Pro models are great for laptops. But they aren’t designed as a replacement for your bag or backpack.

If you want to haul more than just your laptop, consider our line of computer bags. Our Mason Laptop Crossbody lets you carry your laptop plus accessories and features full-grain leather and urban styling.

If traditional carry-alls aren’t your thing, options abound. We also offer laptop backpacks, messengers, and more. For every traveler and for every computer, there’s a stylish and protective bag to match.
