Are these the 7 BEST Laptop Sleeves of 2023? (Pros and Cons // Where to Buy)

[@Nomads.Nation]

Do you want to see the backpack that I'm making? 👉🏼 nomadsnation.com/building-a-backpack

[@kaochao2356]

I’ve purchased 2 of those soft cover laptop sleeves in my life & have never used them because I feel as though they wouldn’t protect my fairly heavy laptop from a drop. The protection seems minimal. The laptop sleeve that I DO use may be unconventional (if not absurd): The Alpaka Tech Brief. Similar to your suggestion of the Nomatic Tech Brief, I use it because it gives me a laptop sleeve and plenty of organization to carry my mouse, cables, power brick, gaming pad, and tablet. All I need to do is pull that brief out of my backpack, open it up, & I have everything on hand. That said, I’ve stopped using it since I purchased the Evergoods CTB26, which has enough pockets and organization to pretty much fit everything I listed above. I might go back to it someday, though... I really enjoyed using that laptop sleeve/tech brief.

[@Nomads.Nation]

I wanna check out the Alpaka Tech Brief for sure

[@DaemonViews]

I have and also gifted the tomtoc one. It is super padded. As said before. I like either nothing or a really thin sleeve for in a backpack or messenger when they have a laptop area. But the padded tomtoc one is nice for in a trolley or suitcase.

Thanks for the rec!

[@TheProductCritiques]

Hey there! Thanks for sharing this detailed overview of different laptop sleeves. It's super helpful to have these options laid out with their pros and cons. I'm particularly interested in the Bellroy laptop sleeve for its sleek design and the Rush Faster laptop sleeve for its minimalist approach. However, before making a decision, could you please provide more information on the dimensions of the Bellroy sleeve? I want to ensure it will fit my laptop perfectly. Also, do you have any personal experience with these sleeves that you can share? Your insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thank you! For dimensions, def check the website or reach out to Bellroy customer support - they’ll get you sorted. I have personal experience with all of them, if you have any specific questions let me know and I’ll do my best to help 💪🏻

[@alexandermoursiotis1465]

I absolutely adore that belroy sleeve(I'm not a belroy fan boy in general) my only concern is the magnet, will it be strong enough to keep the laptop from falling when upside down?

[@Nomads.Nation]

great question, I think it should hold, but I would also not recommend holding your laptop case upside down for very long just in case

[@teslaock6043]

I have a WANDRD case and I use it in a very different way as a stand. Rather than the "top" part folding outward, I turn it inward underneath the laptop to make a bit of a wedge. It's stable, comfortable and useful. You may want to re-visit your assessment as a stand. Enjoy your posts!

[@Nomads.Nation]

I'll give it a shot - thanks for the rec!

[@JoeyLegs]

At 5:20 ish, just FYI keyboards at the upward angle like this are less ergonomic, bad for the wrists. Ideally, the keyboard should be Angled Downward. Solid video though.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Appreciated!

[@val007]

Excellent review and style for the video 😊

[@Nomads.Nation]

Glad you found it useful!

[@haku533]

Moft laptop sleeve can be use with a Lenovo (15,6 )?

[@Nomads.Nation]

Don’t have that laptop so can’t say for sure

[@haku533]

@Nomads.Nation Thank you

[@jeffzhu-gl5ru]

yeah,I'm so with you. we one of the laptop sleeve manufacturer in Shenzhen,China. May be i could bring you some to do a show next time！

[@KLeung5]

I’ve been using the Moft sleeve for a year and loving it so far. Professional looking, very functional and ergonomic. Brought it whenever and everywhere I travel. Perfect combination for me!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Great to hear! I was impressed by it

[@Sora-o]

Bro no way you're not the owner if Moft lmao I see these super vanilla comments everywhere.

[@KLeung5]

@@Sora-o Sorry to let you down then. I only own one product from them and it happens to suit my needs perfectly well. Can I not leave a positive comment that I find satisfactory?

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@Sora-o yea could be a bot, never know

[@jonathanbeck63]

Hey everyone.Sorry to take this conversation in a slightly different direction but I need recommendations for a decent portable monitor. Looking for 14"-16", lightweight, and preferably under $200. There are plenty of options that meet those criteria so this is more about narrowing it down to those brands that you all have had a good experience with. I figure if anyone can offer some suggestions, it's the people who watch Aaron's awesome reviews! Thanks for your help!

[@Nomads.Nation]

The only monitor I have experience with is the Espresso, which is much higher priced, so unfortunately I can't help. Hopefully you get a response here!

[@attilazimler1614]

The water resistant part of the nomatic is actually shown on the wandrd - I wondered why? Have you missed up the shots? It's easy to see , because the wandrd integration rubberbandy things are on the front - and the nomatic does not have that front.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Possibly, we are a small team running a KZbin channel, so mistakes do happen from time to time

[@MitchKirkham]

Nice video! I have the Aer Tech Folio and really love it, perfect for when I carry my 16” laptop and 13” iPad. However I am jealous of that magnetic closure on the Bellroy and love the shoulder strap of the Nomatic. The only thing that bugs me about the Aer Tech Folio is carrying by the top handle tips the folio because of where the handle is in relation to the seams so when walking it rubs against my leg more than I would like. Plenty of space for chargers, etc though!

[@Nomads.Nation]

be care with that tech folio - gotta keep those legs looking sexy! ;) and agreed - the tech folio would be so sick as a decked-out mini messenger with magnets and a shoulder strap... dare to dream...

[@machtmer]

I also have the Tech Folio. I am in the minority of users who actually appreciate the off-center top handle, mostly because it makes for very easy carry in the instances where I am carrying something else (like a cafeteria tray or a second small bag or umbrella) in addition to the Folio.

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@machtmer I really like the Tech Folio, I should have given it a VERY honorable mention on this roundup

[@machtmer]

@@Nomads.Nation wish they had it in their XPac colorway and concur it would be nice if (particularly the 16” version) they provided a shoulder carry, but otherwise love it.

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@machtmer shoulder strap would be next level for sure

[@junjulyaugust9]

Would you ever do a review of the Timbuk2 + Astro BP35? I know it's advertised as a "Gamer" bag, I'm curious about using it as a EDC for school/work

[@Nomads.Nation]

I'd love to! I'll add it to our wish list

[@nHanXciiE]

Why does laptop sleeves dont include pockets for the chargers?

[@Nomads.Nation]

Laptop sleeves are usually meant to be thin so they can protect the laptop and still fit in a bag. If you want to store your charger and other gear then usually it’s best to get a small briefcase or messenger

[@unfi6798]

Great slashes of sleeve mate.!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks dude!

[@polygonboutique]

Note, the Bellroy Lite 16 inch doesn’t fit the MacBook Pro 16 inch 2023. I watched this review and a few others. Even on the Bellroy website it says it fits. However, when I received it, it’s tight up to the zip and on the pull tab corner, it catches the base/rear of the zip on the Mac. Not something you want for a £3k device. I watched this video back and missed that the MacBook is a 13 inch in this demo, so it fits. It’s a shame, it would have been great for my use. Bellroy customer service were great though and it’s on its way back to them, with a refund. Back on the lookout for something suitable.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for letting us know and glad to hear they are taking care of you

[@cat-mb3dm]

you should review the thule gauntlet sleeve. it provides shock protection and is very solid, while zipping totally shut for 360 protection. it seems to provide better protection than other sleeves, while not being too bulky. i would not recommend using it in the open mode though. beyond that it seems like one of the best in terms of protection

[@Nomads.Nation]

thanks for the rec, I'll be sure to check it out!

[@FiLtheThriL]

Rushfaster acquired. Thanks Aaron!

[@Nomads.Nation]

Glad to help! Be sure to let us know what you think of it after testing for a few weeks

[@FiLtheThriL]

I wish Nomatic did more colors (and premium mats). Love the engineering and design of those boys.

[@Nomads.Nation]

yea they definitely know how to pack their products with features

[@faizorbit9622]

Love this channel so many ideas for bags etc

[@Nomads.Nation]

so glad to hear! ❤️

Try the Mous laptop Sleeve. Additionally you could review the Mous backpack

[@Nomads.Nation]

Mous backpack review will be published in a few weeks

[@LunaticTheCat]

Suprised you didn't review that Portland Leather laptop sleeve.

[@Nomads.Nation]

never heard of it but I'll be sure to check it out

[@brendadejesus5019]

I want a laptop sleeve even though I have a backpack because in school your not allowed to wear backpacks but I can bring a sleeve so it’s just very convenient

[@Nomads.Nation]

Hope our review can help!

[@sglatitude]

I like the vintage looks BookBook laptop case from Twelve South. Yes bit bulky but the rugged material and zip laptop case give me better peace of mind in style 😂 The velvety soft interior material is gentle to my MacBook Pro 16” Last but not least, the built in little strap on the left and right top of the case give a feeling as if I am opening and reading a book 😅

[@Nomads.Nation]

haha never seen those before, looks awesome

[@mohammedfaiisal]

I think mous sleeve would be more protective than the bellroy lite

[@Nomads.Nation]

I haven't tested it, I'll add to my TD list

[@mohammedfaiisal]

@@Nomads.Nation I was told the labor inside, could scratch the laptop, but I'm not sure. That's the sleeve I was looking at, because it's the most protective. The handle was the only thing I didn't like

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@mohammedfaiisal im looking forward to checking out myself

[@mohammedfaiisal]

@@Nomads.Nation looking forward to that video. Have you ordered one?

[@Nomads.Nation]

@@mohammedfaiisal negative but hopefully soon

Wish there was a waterproof one recommend in the review.

[@gummybear41283]

None of these will protect a laptop from a drop, you should review actual laptop protection with D3O , there's a company in Germany that makes them

[@Nomads.Nation]

will do!

No Nedrelow? Big miss... IMO

-MacBooks only have 8% global laptop market share -99.9% of corporations, small businesses, educational institutions, government agenices, and nonprofit across the planet use Windows laptop. -For these reasons, it would be very useful to include Windows laptops in your demonstrations.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Buy me one and send it to me and I’ll do it 😜

[@shindigmagazine2643]

Macs rule. Creative pro? You use a Mac.

[@nathanreddent2427]

too much. these don't even have a place for your charger

[@Nomads.Nation]

Feel free to leave suggestions for more affordable options that do

[@davidthompson6939]

Laptop sleeves in a decent backpack are a colossal waste of time and money and weight.

[@Nomads.Nation]

I agree that it’s probably unnecessary if you have a really great backpack. But not everyone does. And it’s also nice to have a secondary carrying option for your laptop when you don’t feel like dragging a backpack around. Personally, I do that often.

[@SliPsHoTiFc]

This topic of comment is pretty silly. Some people don't use a backpack. Some people use a backpack but not all the time. Having a sleeve is really nice to throw it in while still not wanting to have it in something more protective. Like on the counter, desk etc.

[@AndyJMacLeod]

I decided to get the nedrelow magicsleeve for the M3 MBP that I just ordered. It’s a magnetic wool sleeve that will double as a mouse mat…

[@attackonhumby]

i like my laptop and tablet to feel snug and save so i like having carrying stuff in its sleeve inside my backpack. ease of mind imo

[@Waaar]

I'm in need of one for my s9 ultra tablet. It's not the thickest tablet and need extra protection esp bc of my work & usually have my bag packed pretty heavily

[@simpatorsimpator1241]

inatech has more quality cases. why you are advertising these craps with low quality and high price.

[@Nomads.Nation]

Thanks for your feedback! Out of the dozens of laptop sleeves that we tested, these were our favorites. Haven’t heard of Inatech, but we’ll be sure to check them out
