What Are Laptop Sleeves?
Laptops are an expensive investment, and as they become more and more vital to everyday life, people need to carry them everywhere. Laptop sleeves are slim, form-fitting, protective cases that offer some protection to computers while minimizing extra bulk.

Function
-
Laptop sleeves are made to zip around your laptop and prevent cosmetic damage such as scratches and dents.
Types
-
Laptop sleeves come in a huge variety of sizes and styles, from attractive leather sleeves to customizable nylon sleeves. Leather may look great, but it is heavy; neoprene, on the other hand, is snug and light.

Considerations
-
When buying a laptop sleeve, consider weight, case material and zipper quality. If you can find a sleeve custom built to fit your particular laptop model, it will offer better protection.
Fashion Statement Sleeves
-
Because many laptop users rely on their laptop cases to protect their computers, they opt to choose laptop sleeves based on their look. Dozens of designers have made laptop sleeves that are high-style, funny and elegant--but they may not offer your investment optimal protection.
Warning
-
Laptop sleeves won't protect against drops or major spills. If you are carrying your laptop everywhere, pair a sleeve with a larger laptop case that offers shock-protecting padding.
