    I have the opportunity to write a short review about www.becase.com products.
    Basically they have 2 product lines. Notebook sleeves and AC cable wallets.
    Both of these products are made of brushed leather, with a polyamide lining. You can choose out of two color combinations, which both are very elegant. Anthrazit leather / Red lining or Beige leather / Light blue lining.

    The sleeves come in different sizes, for a variety of display diagonals. There is also an option of a custom size. You just have to use the contact form to send them your desired size. For the custom size you will probably have to pay a little bit extra – like for an inch bigger sleeve, than you have. What is I think a reasonable price.
    The quality is really high; all the zippers are covered from the inside (up to a case height of 3,5cm), that your notebook doesn’t get scratched. The leather is very soft to touch, but I think it can resist a lot of tear and wear. The polyamide lining makes the inside very slippery, so the notebook slides nicely in and out of the sleeve.
    It gives you enough protection from scratches, dust, or accidental water spills, but its not cushioned, so don’t rely on it, if you like throwing your notebook! I’m very satisfied with all aspects of the sleeve, using it on everyday basis.
    The company is prepared for making very individual sleeves in mass, like the one I’m reviewing. It has my name on the sleeve, instead of the BECASE logo. The price of this nice little personal addition will raise the price about 10 euros, depending on the complexity of your logo/name. You can try to contact them, and ask, whether your request is possible to make. It is definitely a perfect personal present!
    Prices go from 24 to 28 euros, depending on the size. Shipping in Europe is free for orders over 30 euros.

    The AC cable wallet is no only for taking the AC adapter on the road, but also for having a tidy desk. It features holes on both sides, where the cords come out.
    It is build in a universal size, which costs 12 euros.

    It is useful to have a second opinion. I did a more comprehensive review about a month back.
