Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of be.ez 100572 LA robe Sleeve for 13.3-Inch Macbooks (Black/Wasabi)
Customer Review: Great complement for a Macbook Pro with a Speck Satin case.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok. Here's the deal. I already have a macbook pro with a speck satin case on it. I'm sure a lot of folks are wondering "if you already have a hard shell case why buy a sleeve?" Well let me break it on down for y'all. The speck satin case is wonderful..the perfect macbook case, however it does not cover up the drive and ports on the sides of the Macbook Pro. This is not ideal for travel when using a laptop backpack (which is what I'll be using) because backpacks tend to be a heaven for debris, at least in my opinion. You don't want spiral notebook residue (you know those little tabs that hang around in the spiral when you rip off a page), dust, or that bag of chips that just exploded when your physics book shifted in your backpack to get into your machine. This is where the sleeve comes in.
At first touch the LA Robe is rather stiff. I actually like that in comparison to a normal neoprene sleeve mostly due to the fact that it doesn't give as easy as neoprene does. The neoprene sleeves tend to be real squishy and really don't offer that much protection especially from hard bumps. The LA Robe changes that by offering a memory foam interior (or whatever they call it) which gives added support and also protection. As far as the fit goes I noticed a lot of reviewers saying that there was extra wiggle room when the Macbook Pro was placed in the sleeve by itself. This actually became the selling point for me because the speck case adds a little more to the Macbook exterior size wise. Inside the sleeve the fit is perfect. Not really to bulky and not a whole bunch of wiggle room left either.
Another factor for my purchase was the price. $24.99 with free shipping, as apposed to 39.99+tax, and the reviews on amazon.com were high (I noticed incase wasn't getting too much love). I live in CA where taxes are almost 10% and sometimes over that depending on where you are in the state. Bummer. You can't go wrong with a cheaper price for a real durable sleeve.
In the end I believe I made the right choice. Just gives me a little more piece of mind when I'm on the go. Make up your own mind folks....but don't let the sales folks snow you into buying the fancy smancy stuff when there are other alternatives out there. PEACE!
