    Best sleeve for 16″ M1, M2, M3 macbook pro (with one caveat)
    Tried a couple different sleeves and cases, but ultimately just wanted a hard shell sleeve that could fit my laptop backpcak. For an M3 max, I was not taking any chances with the safety of my macbook. There were the more popular recommendations, tomtoc has an assortment of similar sleeves but they’re all soft body with protection only along the top length and only partly down the sides, hardly 360 protection and I could recommend it if you’re just looking for a water resistant sleeve with bare minimum protection but I returned all the ones I tried. Finpac hard sleeve was also recommended frequently, spigen, also soft sleeves like mous, matador, bellroy, etc. Now all of these are still great options, but for peace of mind, I really wanted a hard shell case and this one fit my needs perfectly.16″ macbook pro, be it m1 to m3 pro or max (same dimensions obviously fit perfectly. Snug but not too tight. Doesn’t slide around or fall out. My main concern was my macbook being directly in contact with the zipper, photos and videos didn’t give any detail on this as some sleeves I’ve tried had very little if any internal protection and reviewers would likewise mention scratches or damage thus induced. But I can say with confidence, the inner lining along the zippers gratify a sense of confidence.As for the caveat I mentioned in the title, or two rather: I can’t believe it needs to be said in spite of the advertisement but I’ve seen it enough professionally, DO NOT use your macbook while it is in the case. Airflow and heat dissipation is almost entirely restricted. I bought this to prioritize safety while travelling but if you do absolutely need to use your macbook on the go, just take it out and set it on top the case like a sensible person. This to such an extent, the first thing I did was cut off the stupid cloth straps that support the case open. Can’t tell you how many horror stories i’ve seen of macbooks being used in similar hard shell cases only for the display to be shattered from the strap seams getting caught between the laptop while closing. Such an unbelievably stupid thing to incluude on so premium and well made a product like it was tacked on as an afterthought after designing the whole rest of the case as an after thought.TLDR; Perfect fit, snug but not tight, greater protection than tomtoc and other popular choices, macbook does not contact zipper at all. Just do yourself a favour and cut off the stupid internal straps that ruin an otherwise perfect case.OH and the other reviewer was right about the smell. The plastic hard shell does smell like a discount sneaker store but that’s on par for the material especially since it was kept sealed in storage. I just let it off-gas in the garage for a day or two and it went away.

    Supe resistant
    I’ve been using the Thule Gauntlet MacBook Pro Sleeve for y Razer laptop 16 2023 – and it fits!First off, the exterior material is impressive. It’s a rugged high-density polyurethane that feels tough and durable. Those ridges and grooves you see aren’t just for aesthetics—they provide substantial reinforcement, ensuring excellent impact resistance. The sleeve feels like a fortress for my laptop, confidently shielding it from accidental knocks and bumps.Now, the zipper. It’s a robust YKK zipper that glides smoothly without any snagging. It’s reassuringly sturdy and has this thoughtful detail of having a rubberized coating, which adds to the water resistance, preventing moisture from seeping in during light rain or spills.Opening it up, the interior lining is where the magic happens. It’s a soft, scratch-resistant material that cradles my MacBook Pro snugly. The fit is precise, and it feels like a custom-made glove for my laptop. There’s this peace of mind that comes with seeing your device nestled securely within this protective cocoon.Regarding water resistance, the outer shell does an excellent job repelling moisture. It’s not waterproof, mind you, but it offers a reliable defense against the everyday elements. It’s that extra layer of protection that keeps my laptop safe from the unexpected.The clamshell design is practical too. It opens wide, allowing easy access to my laptop while ensuring it stays securely in place. And the attention to detail extends to the small things—the sturdy handles make it easy to carry around, and the sleek design adds a touch of sophistication.When it comes to compatibility, while it’s specifically made for the MacBook Pro 16-inch, the dimensions suggest it could accommodate other laptops of similar size – surprisingly my Razer 16 2023 fits into it. The snug fit and well-designed interior might just provide the same level of protection for other devices with similar dimensions.In summary, the Thule Gauntlet Sleeve delivers on its promises. From its rugged exterior and smooth zipper to the snug interior and reliable water resistance, it’s a well-thought-out protective case. It’s not just functional; it’s a peace-of-mind accessory for anyone who values their laptop’s safety during daily commutes or travels.

    Great sleeve; problems have been fixed
    My new Macbook Pro M4 fits perfectly in here. Seems sturdy enough to protect it from everything but an adult elephant stepping on it. Pretty light, does not significantly increase the weight of the computer. Previous problem of smelling bad seems to have been solved – couldn’t smell anything when I opened it. Also comes with a clear warning not to close the side tabs inside of the computer (to prevent screen damage).

    Will crack your screen on Apple 16in MacBook Pro!!!!!!!
    You buy this product to protect your computer and instead it cracks your screen and costs you $850. The fabric hinge folds inside between the computer and screen. You have to make sure to pull them out before shutting the screen. All it takes is missing this once to crack your screen, which in my case cost $850 at the apple store to replace. I have trusted this brand’s roof racks with my bikes and expected the same level of thought and quality to go into any product they sell. Not the case here. Beyond furious with this product.

    Great case.
    This case is durable and thick. The only caveat is the new MacBook 16” has to fit in one direction only or the zipper will not close.

  7. Ryan Hayward

    Corners too rounded to fit my device.
    If I were putting a mac in it, it would be great, but does not fit my 15″ espresso display because the corners are too rounded! If the corners weren’t rounded it would be perfect. So if you have a computer that is near the max dimensions and the corners aren’t rounded I would avoid.

    Very protective!
    Highly recommended. This offers a lot of protection. My soft bag was assaulted by a careless , aggressive traveler and almost broke my electronics. This will protect my gear from bad people like that.

    ASUSのゲーミングノートPC、ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024)用に購入しましたが、ぴったりフィットしています。ノートPCケースとしては比較的高価でしたが、相応に高級感のある外見はもちろん、スリムなシルエットながら内部もしっかりした作りとなっており、耐衝撃性にも期待できます。外装はいわゆるセミハード程度の硬さのある素材なので、バッグに入れても収まりが良い点も気に入っています。持ち手は付いていないので、持ち運び時にはバッグに入れるか、小脇に抱える形になると思います。なお、伸縮性は皆無なので、Macbook Pro 16インチや、レビューで適合が報告されているもの以外の機種に関しては、事前に商品ページで内寸を慎重に確認することをおすすめします。

    Be careful, the dimensions inside for thickness of laptop are smaller in reality and you might not be able to zip up.

    The MacBook Pro 16” fits in perfectly, even with a case. Robust and protective. Perfect.

    Bilgisayarlarınız ve tabletleriniz için en gerekli en kaliteli ve en profesyonel sleeve. daha doğrusu başka bir tercih tanımıyorum diyebilirim.Ayrıca ben satın aldıktan yaklaşık 3 gün sonra %53 indirim yapıp neredeyse 4/1 fiyatına indirimli satan Amazon’a da selamlar sevgiler 🙂

    Den Style kann man mögen oder nicht, aber die Funktion ist topp! Leicht, gut verarbeitet, gutes Material, super Reißverschluss und die Schalen sind ein sehr guter Schutz (sind etwas flexibel). Auch beim Sturz auf die Ecken oder die Reissverschlusskante, ist der Rechner geschützt. Einzig die Gummibänder innen sind Quatsch – die braucht kein Mensch! Kann man aber ganz fix rausschneiden, ohne Überreste.
