WaterField’s new sleeve features full-grain leather on the grip in addition to rugged waxed canvas covering the whole exterior.
Underneath, a layer of ballistic nylon sits between the canvas and the shock-absorbing 4mm of neoprene padding. Ballistic nylon defends against water damage and scratches.
You can get the sleeve in blue, black, green and brown colors.
The “D-rings only” version of the sleeve lets you use your own strap, or you can purchase a choice of straps from WaterField.
Magnetic Laptop Sleeve for the MacBook Pro models is available to order now and starts shipping on February 10, the company said.
