 Protection in style! May 31, 2009

First of all, please keep in mind that this product is designed for the 13.3" Macbook, as stated on the website. Therefore, if you plan to purchase it for non-Macbook laptop, then you must research the size specifications.
(+) Both MBA and the black Macbook fit very well.
(+) The sleeve came in a ziplock bag. The design of the packaging, "finger-fitting" zipper, and inner lips that protects the laptop from being scratched by the zipper, suggests good industrial design.
(+) There is a wide range of color selection, allowing a more "unique design" for each individual customer.
(+) The memory foam feels cardboard-like on first touch; yet it deforms on pressure allowing good traction. It is rather thick (5mm) and probably would provide good protection if you place your laptop in a bag/briefcase. Personally, I don't think it would provide better protection from impact or sharp objects, than any other "thick" sleeves.
My purchase decision: the current price range (<$25) is affordable. I have tried the Incase neoprene, the Caselogic, and the Marware Sportfolio sleeves for my MBA, 13" MB and 15" MBP. I would more likely purchase this one over the others because of affordability, emphasis on style, and the memory foam.

TSA allows you to leave your laptop inside this sleeve. It's quite protective and should make your TSA airport screening experience a little less of a hassle.
Amazing attention to detail, sparse features. May 27, 2009

I have had several laptop bags and two different sleeves. LaRobe has really put in some good details on this. I really like it. No, I ENJOY it. Its the kind of product that makes you feel really good.
Overall, its a well constructed sleeve, that has great attention to detail. My laptop, in a clear acrylic protective case already, fit like a glove. Without the clear acrylic case, the laptop did have some wiggle room. Some people might find that room nice because its easier to put it in. Like another sleeve I own, the features are a bit sparse, and i'll explain why thats good and bad in a moment.
1) The low density polyurethane acts like "memory foam". If you hold your hand down on it, it molds to the shape of your hand. And slowwwwwly it re-expands. (see the pic I uploaded). This is excellent protection for my MacBook. It also acts as a moldable grip. Its really pleasant to hold. I really loved ths feature.
2) The zippers are ergonomic, making this seem like a "high end" product. (see pic)
3) The overall construction is excellent.
4) It has a little room left over, perhaps for a power cord, USB cord, or whatnot. Or maybe just to make it easy for customers to fit it in. But I would not want to put the little wall brick in it. I would carry that in my backpack.
Given the long life of the battery in the MacBook, and the lack of space for the wall adapter, this sleeve is perfect for light use away from home.
Now, there are two features that are "missing". They actually aren't on any sleeve I've used, but, they are things that I miss.
1) A strap to put your hand through for added grip. It would be nice when tucking the sleeve under your arm. But, I think the sleeve will last longer without it.
2) No interior pocket of any kind (see my pic of the interior). I would have liked something that could hold a sheet or two of paper. However, my other sleeve doesn't have that either, and all pockets get saggy or can snag things on the way in. So maybe is for the best.
I won't remove a star for either detail. I think its not in the nature of the product type.
I am generally a harsh critic, but I found all the right things in this cover, and the things its missing...well... I can really understand why they were left off... Overall I rate it a solid buy. You will like this product.
Well designed laptop case July 3, 2009

This product is designed for a 13.3" Macbook, but I selected it because I have both a 13.3" MacBook and a Sony Vaio laptop (SR series) and thought it might work for both of them. Turns out it did. The Sony fits perfectly (12.4" width)!
I carry my laptop around quite a bit and I find that this case provides a good protection - good thickness but doesn't take too much space in the bag. I have actually been shopping for a case for quite a while but found the price point often too high and the material too flimsy - not with this case. The price point of $24.99 seems reasonable. Also, the color selection offered is great as well - I received the Moka one, and really like the design, look and feel.
The item arrived in a ziploc-like bag, sealed, and with a little color swap on the outside so if you were buying this in a brick and mortar store, it would help you see the true color and texture.
Overall, I'd recommend this case to anyone looking for some protection for their 12 or 13 inch laptop.
Snazzy Red for your Mac Book April 6, 2009

I purchased the Be.Ez laptop case in red kiss/white from Amazon. The case is really red, which is great because I like red.
It's not too soft, sort of a really stiff memory foam, and it has sturdy red METAL zippers!
This case fits my 13.3" Mac Book snugly and would offer some cushion in case of a drop, better than no case at all. The zippers don't get close enough to my Mac to scratch it, so that's another plus.
I pressed my fingertips in to see how long it would take for them to "pop" out of the case, and in the time it took for me to write this review, most of the finger indents have faded away. This case picks ups indents quickly, so unless you don't care, try not to put anything on it.
I'm giving this case 5 stars. I've shopped around a lot trying to find a case that protects AND has a color other than black or brown. The Be.Ez fit the bill.
