25 Best Value MacBook Air 11 & 13 Sleeves

Samuel J Tan Laptops, Personal Technology, Technology 1

Purely for personal reasons, I have been thinking about replacing the sleeve for my MacBook Air and wondered what is available. Sleeves are best suited for MacBook Air as they provides protection from scuffs and bumps minus the bulk.

You can either use it on its own or pop it into a bag and not worry about it taking too much space. Using a sleeve lets me use my existing work case that looks nothing like a Laptop Case or Bag reducing the risk of theft.

To my surprise, MacBook Air sleeves have come down in price. When before, I had only a few options to choose from, now, there are over two dozen different options available. Truly, spoilt for choice.
