Our Verdict
The sleeve comes with both carry handle and adjustable, removable shoulder strap, although the strap isn’t padded for extra comfort. While designed for women, the Slim, especially in the non-quilted, more muted colours, could be used by any metrosexual man who wants to travel in style.
Available in a range of sizes (10in to 17in) and a kaleidoscope of fashionable colours, the new Slim range of laptop sleeves are more modestly priced than many of the luxury accessories available from Knomo.
Weighing in at around 600g, the load is lightened significantly due to a lightweight, quilted, padded body finished in cow hide, rather than leather alone. A roomy side pocket, held in place by a concealed magnet, includes a smaller pocket for valuables such as credit and travel cards. A soft, fabric lining, with scotchgard coating, helps keeps your Mac protected once zipped up.
