During our review, we found the best MacBook Air Case to be the Inateck 13-13.3-inch Sleeve. We like this case over the others because it can be used with a variety of 13-inch MacBook Air laptops and other laptops under 13.5 inches. The briefcase handle design is convenient, and the side zipper helps you keep the contents safe.
The Best MacBook Air Case
The Inateck 13-13.3-inch Sleeve comes in 3 color options and is water and shock-resistant. The sleeve material is a woven polyester to prevent water penetration, has a shockproof layer, and a flannelette interior that is nonabrasive on your electronics. The sleeve has a front pocket to hold accessories and small devices safely with a zipper.
The protection and features offered by the Inateck 13-13.3-inch Sleeve make it our choice for the best MacBook Air case or laptop case. The only area where the Inateck sleeve is lacking is that it has no shoulder strap.
