NATIVE UNION Stow Slim for MacBook Pro 13” (2016-2020), MacBook Air 13” (Retina) – Premium MacBook Sleeve with Easy-Access Magnetic Closure and Exterior Pocket (Slate)

Great quality sleeve for my macbook. I have the 13" macbook air and got the 14" case and it is perfect. Also looks smart and sleek with great protection having a snap magnet at the top. Well worth the price!

I really like this sleeve. The material is great. It's slim and looks really slick. Love the magnetic closure too. It fit my MacBook Pro 13 perfectly, also fits my new MacBook air, and at a push my 14" dell Chromebook. The pocket is a bit of a waste of time, but it looks nice. It's okay for some papers maybe, but not a bulky charger.

I also have the same Native Union sleeve for my iPad Pro. In both cases the material quality and construction are high, though this is to be expected given their price. The MacBook sleeve is very snug for my 16” machine - perhaps a little too snug. Unfortunately, though, as snug a fit as it is, the way the sleeve is made and fits around the edges of the MacBook makes it very big. Holding the sleeve, full or empty, seems huge and it might not fit everyone’s bag. But, it does offer good, stylish protection.

This is a really well-made sleeve perfect for a 13” MacBook Air. It slides in really well, with the opening snapping shut magnetically. It has a soft inside and appears stiff, providing reasonable protection with a slim profile. It’s really smart too. Thoroughly recommended.

Native Union sleeves are really good quality. I bought one for my 13" MacBook Pro and its going strong after 3 years, I now use it for my iPadPro with Magic Keyboard. I am leaving this review because the description states that the 16" is suitable for the MacBook Air 15," which I thought would be too big. The 13" sleeve was ever so slightly too small for the 15" Air so I bought the 15" case instead. The 15" case fits perfectly for the 15" MacBook Pro and the magnetic closure can easily close. This is a snug fitting case and is ideal if you want to use it to protect and store the Air. I bought a few different cases off Amazon which claimed to suitable for the 15" Air; this is a brand new model which only came out in May so I was dubious. All these other cases were wayyyy to big. For a snug fit I recommend this case. Highly recommended!

Great

I was a bit hesitant purchasing this case due to the price, and purchased a few others of various ranges, but think in the end this strikes a perfect compromise between luxury and value... I of course would have loved the official leather sleeve from Apple, but I just couldn't justify that cost despite the cost of a new MacBook Pro. Some of the other cases I tried were completely functional, but there's something odd about buying such a "luxury" machine and housing it in a cheap case... this sleeve fits perfectly in the middle, and actually feels like a nice match to the new MacBook. (Nothing wrong with a cheap and cheerful case, I just really wanted something to make me feel even better about my shiny new purchase!) The build quality is superb, from the quilted inner lining to the stitching and the two tone feel of the outer material. I was a bit worried about the fit, as it's been brought up in a few reviews, but at least in this instance it fits perfectly... it seems a bit tight at first, but after a week of use I'm very pleased with the fit and there are certainly no issues with the case closing at the top. (Make sure you reach into the sleeve and remove the silica gel packet, if you don't you'll certainly be confused as to why you're left with the MacBook protruding from the top.) I went for the indigo and also love the colour... it's a bit different while also coming across sophisticated. The main downside I have is not with the sleeve itself, but with the matching accessories organiser that you can buy... sadly it's US centric, and not really geared towards UK plugs. Back to the sleeve, it is of course just that... if you're looking to carry anything other than your laptop you're going to be out of luck, but that's the nature of a low-profile sleeve.

Quality: I can’t fault the quality, it’s built very well, but creases do start to show after a couple of weeks. Padding: The padding is honestly awful, I feel like I’d get better protection from wrapping my laptop in a thin scarf. I would not rely on this case in a drop at all. It’s thin and slim and all about looks. Looks: It does look great, it’s one of two reasons, other being how expensive it is, why I still own it.
