    Hey all,

    I am searching for a good sleeve for a 13.3 inch laptop. Most of the time it will be in a backpack, but since I bike a lot I need something that can provide a good protection.

    The SleeveCase of SFBags looks interesting:
    SFBags - WaterField Designs - Laptop Sleeve - TSA Checkpoint Friendly - TSA Good - MacBook Pro - MacBook Air Sleeve - Macbook Air Case - Notebook Sleeve - Computer Sleeve - Laptop Case
    Anyone has one of these? I am hesitating between having a flap or not: it is truly useful?

    Any other good options?

    Thanks in advance.

    I have several of those, some with the flap and some without.

    First of all I highly recommend the cases - they are very high quality. The exterior is ballistic nylon which will not wear (two of my sleeves are 5 years old and look the same as the ones I bought a few months ago) and the interior is neoprene, which provides good shock protection and such.

    I recommend getting the flap - it adds more protection and will hold the laptop more securely.

    We have a few reviews of SFBags products on NotebookReview - just search the homepage.
