The Best 13″ Laptop Case – 5 of Our Favourites
Thursday, August 11th, 2011At 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.






The heavy duty hemp material that the cases/sleeves are made from is the toughest natural fibre in the world, and is grown rapidly and plentifully in rural China; making it a reliable, reusable source.
