    Hello guys!

    I'm looking for a sleeve for my Dell XPS 13 2015 edition, which i find surprisingly difficult. The rather odd size is making it tough.

    Has anyone successfully bought a Macbook Air 11" sleeve for it? I've looked at this leather sleeve, which i figure might could work out - Has anyone tried it?

    I've also looked at this one, but it's a rather unknown brand to me, so has anyone tried that brand out?

    Naturally i'm open to any suggestions, if you have found a well fitting sleeve yourself. Price is not an issue, and i don't have any preference regarding materials. I just need something to protect it when it's stored inside a bag.

    Looking forward to hear from you, fellow XPS owners :)

    Best regards,

    Sebastian

    I tried a couple designed for the MacBook Air 11 inch but didn't like the snugness. I ended up with the Dell Premier Sleeve (S), mistakenly thinking it was sized specifically for the XPS. Turns out it is slightly larger and so more of a relaxed fit than I anticipated. However, it turns out I like the ease with which I can get it in and out, love the magnetic closure (no sound of ripping Velcro) and it looks good too. Only downside is it is not cheap. However, being slightly larger I figure I maybe able to use it for other 13" notebooks in the future.

    Thanks for sharing your experience :) I've contacted Dell support and they recommended the lattitude 12" leather sleeve, which should fit decently. However, i will
    definitely look into the Premier Sleeve too, since you seem to be quite fond of it and support also said it was a safe choice.

    The Alienware sleeve I have for my AW 13 may be a little big, but the quality of their product is 2nd to none. If your going for a nice classy look I'm sure the Dell 12" sleeve will be great.

    $15 from Amazon:

    Made for the Surface Pro3. Fits the XPS 13 perfectly, and has a magnetic closure which works just fine. Has the pen slot, a slot for a couple business cards and a slot on the back for some papers of sorts. Has the strong pleather smell initially, but it fades after a few days.

    Edit: Case is still great. Not a fan of the brown. Has a little too much red in it. Going to get the black. Tough to screw up black.

    I do wish there was a case for this as nice as the case for the Yoga 13 Pro. That had cutouts so you could charge it while it was in the case.
