The humble laptop sleeve – owned by so many people, yet often not given much thought, which is a shame as there are so many unique and exciting products out there to choose from. Here at GearZap we like to think that we take our accessories pretty seriously, and have as such searched long and hard for the very best range of sleeves for your laptop or netbook.

The most popular size of laptop is 15.6”, which you measure as the diagonal across the screen, and we have some great sleeves that will fit. Our favourite brand must be Zeroshock, for their awesome protection they provide, with an understated design. These laptop sleeves have been dropped from buildings and the laptop’s survived. They are seriously tough and available in both black and white colours, depending on whether you choose the zeroshock III or IV. Why not checkout our full range of laptop sleeve 15.6!

For those who use smaller laptops, you might be looking for a netbook sleeve, and of those, the netbook sleeve 10” is the most popular. A 10” netbook is the perfect size to carry round, as they are ultra portable and lightweight. Speck normally make macbook cases, and some awesome iPad accessories, but they have taken their very popular pixelsleeve design, and turned it into a Netbook sleeve. The 10” Speck PixelSleeve is well designed, with a handy carrying handle, and a ultra-soft fleecy interior, to keep your Netbook scratch-free.

The final popular size, of which we have a great range to is the laptop sleeve 13.3”. This particular size of laptop is great, as it’s still a bit screen, but is just that little bit more portable than a 15” equivalent. Pakuma offer some great options, with their individual designs, stylish colours, and awesome protection. Our personal favourite are the ecobags, which are made from 100% recycled material, and because the have a cushioning system which Pakuma have called “Cocoon” to provide impact protection if you should drop your laptop.

Many people look around for a great laptop sleeve 13″, trying to find the one that is perfect for them. Sleeves differ quite a lot from a standard laptop case, in the way that they are often depicted as not offering as much protection or style. However, there are now a few new brands here at GearZap that certainly break the mould.
Firstly, we are going to consider the ColcaSac.
The ColcaSac has recently become very popular, with more and more people discovering its hidden beauty. Stylish design often comes with the setback of lack of protection – but not the ColcaSac. The ColcaSac’s thick padded inner lining grips onto your laptop or MacBook tightly keeping it free from movement, and the velcro closure ensures security. Added to the style and protection is a bit of functionality – a front pocket that is just about big enough to store your power cable or adapter. Although the ColcaSac is typically a MacBook Pro 13 Case or sleeve, if you own a 13″ or 13.3″ laptop – it will be more than welcomed by it.
Secondly, we are going to look at Foof.

Foof are quite similar to ColcaSac in their designs, so there isn’t really much else to say about their excellent style and protection – but they do lack that front pocket, although this could be desirable to a number of people. Their stylish designs are hand made and the finish on them is second to none, showing that effort and hardwork can do an even better job than machinery. They are also made for MacBook and MacBook Pro – but once again, if you have a 13″ laptop it will do a really great job in protecting it.
Finally, we are going to look at Fabrix.
Fabrix are one of our favourite brands here at GearZap. Their range of unique designs are unrivalled – and they tailor for all needs. They have business orientated designs and stretch right up to the quirkiest and most ‘out-there’ styles you can possibly think of. Another great point about them is that they are laptop cases, not just MacBook (which differentiates them from Foof and ColcaSac). Similarly to ColcaSac, they do have a pocket – but it’s much larger allowing you to easily accomodate a charger or power adapter.
They are really well made, thick enough to offer enough protection even in the case of a drop or knock and look different enough for you to be sure that you aren’t like the rest of the crowd – allowing you to stand out.
That concludes our short round-up of our favourite 13″ laptop sleeves, be sure to check them and our other ranges out at GearZap.com. Remember – if you order before 6pm, we will dispatch it today!

There are many people out there looking for a funky laptop case, and you don’t get much funkier than some of the designs from Fabrix.
Fabrix are a top brand that create designer laptop cases that give the perfect fit to laptops and MacBooks, unlike many generic cases. At GearZap, we are proud to be the first and the biggest UK seller of the Fabrix case, a brand that really offer something different in a world of plain black and grey laptop cases, MacBook Pro cases, iPad 2 cases and Kindle covers.

If you are looking for a unique laptop case then Fabrix are definitely the brand for you, with a range of different designs including a funky, checkered design, a retro ‘Space Invaders’ themed case and also many vintage styled cases that feature flowers and birds.

However, there outspoken and ‘in your face’ designs aren’t for everyone; which is exactly why we also stock some of their more classy cases, perfect for if you are looking for a business laptop case.
The Black Suit, Plaid in Checks and Silver Shade designs are perfect for business use, or for those people that are looking for a case that will be subtle and stylish. The Black Suit or the unique Polka Dot style designs are also available as a laptop bag, or more specifically, a 13″ Laptop bag. A few of the designs are also available as a 15″ laptop case, which are expected to be extremely popular.

At GearZap we hear a wide range and variety of questions, but one of the most common questions that we receive is “what case would you recommend for my 13’’ laptop case?” or “what is the best 13’’ laptop case?” so we have decided to run through a list of our favourite and most recommended 13 inch laptop cases.

The first one that we are going to look at is the Zeroshock III for 13.3” laptops – a common size of laptop and is also the size of the MacBook and MacBook Pro 13”. This case will fit laptops from a size of 12.6 inches and up, and offers excellent protective capabilities whilst still looking incredibly stylish. The look of the case is considered very important to a lot of laptop owners, after all, who wants to spend a lot of money on a fancy looking laptop and then box it up in a bulky, lifeless case? No-one does, hopefully anyway.
The Zeroshock III case is available in black or white, and does a great job of protecting your laptop from scratches and damage whilst adding very little bulk and weight, making it easy to transport around either by hand or inside a bag.

The Capdase mKeeper is the next case that we are going to look at, and is available as a leather sleeve (with vertical and horizontal openings) and also as a standard laptop case in many different sizes.
The mKeeper is popular mainly due to its extremely low price point, something that is often linked with quality – however the quality hasn’t been spared on the design or the manufacturing of the mKeeper cases. Slimline design, high quality material and top finishing have turned the mKeeper into a force to reckoned with in the world of laptop cases. Again, this is available as a laptop case 13” and a MacBook pro 13” case.
We are now going to look at a brand new product of ours, perfect for if you are looking for a really unique laptop case.

This checkered case from Fabrix is one of the most unique cases that we stock, and its pattern is proving particularly popular with the younger generation – although some of our older customers are loving it too (and quite rightly so!). If you are wanting to stand out whilst protecting your 13″ laptop or MacBook then this case is really for you, providing great protection and giving you easy access to your laptop when you need it. The manufacturers at Fabrix cases hand make their cases meaning they are finished to the highest level every time. People are often looking for something different, and this is it.

The Cool Bananas ShockProof sleeve is something also a little bit different, its neoprene material is fully waterproof and also offers excellent shock absorbing properties. It can easily accommodate any laptop or MacBook up to 13.3″ in size and will keep it secure from the rigours of daily wear and tear. Its twin-zipper makes access to your laptop easy and the case has internal zipper protection to ensure that your laptop will never become scratched from the zip.

Finally we are going to consider the Zeroshock IV, the older and bigger brother of the previously looked at Zeroshock III. The design of the IV is quite different to that of the III, with the slow-depression material being one of the best shock absorbing materials around for laptop cases. As the protection levels become greater, ultimately the bulk increases slightly – but the weight does not, meaning it is still really lightweight and easy to carry around on its own or in a bag.
The Elecom and Zeroshock logos are intertwined in the bottom corner of the case; a popular brand that you can be proud to display and compliments the design of your laptop to the fullest effect.

If you are looking for the best laptop case then look no further than GearZap’s high quality laptop case range that include some of the best laptop cases around.
If you want a 13″ laptop case or a 13.3″ laptop case then the ZeroShock III is an excellent option. The case is made from lightweight low-rebound ployurethane and offers unrivalled protection against bumps and scratches. The ZeroShock III laptop case is designed to be as slim as possible meaning that it does not add to the bulk of your laptop, and has a zippered pocket on the front which provides great storage space for cables, memory cards or other small accessories. The internal memory foam also adapts to the shape of your laptop providing 100% protection over a long period of time.
The ZeroShock III is also available in black and white as an incredibly good 14″ laptop case.
If you are looking for the best 15″ laptop case then you will have to consider the Port Designs Berlin laptop case. This great case also easily works as a 15.6″ laptop case or even as a 16″ laptop case. The case’s quilted exterior provides a lovely textured feel, and is replicated excellently with the case’s memory foam interior. The softly lined interior prevents any scratches whilst the excellent damage resisting qualities of the case will prevent any damage from knocks and bumps. This professional looking laptop case really is one of the best around for your 15-16″ laptop.

If you are looking for the best 17″ laptop case then you can’t go wrong with the ZeroShock IV. Having already mentioned the ZeroShock III for some of the smaller laptops (although it is available as a 17″ case) we believe the IV offers that little bit extra when larger laptops are concerned. Again, this case has a memory foam interior that moulds to the shape of your laptop, but the outer layer of the case is made from EVA foam – that is specially designed to absorb any shock from drops and bumps. The edges are also reinforced, you can never have enough protection – right?! The ZeroShock IV has also received many compliments on its good looking design and finish.

If you have one of the largest laptops around, this ZeroShock IV case is also available as an 18″ laptop case and accomodates laptops up to 18.4″.
