Know before you buy
The sleeve is designed to fit standard 16-inch laptops snugly. If your device has a bulky hard-shell case attached, it may be too tight to zip comfortably.
Despite its flexible feel, the sleeve uses two types of lightweight foam padding to absorb impacts from all sides. It is excellent for daily commutes and preventing scratches, though it is not intended for heavy-duty drops or extreme environments.
The water-resistant zipper provides a strong barrier against accidental splashes and light rain. However, it is not fully waterproof, so you should avoid submerging the sleeve or exposing it to prolonged, heavy downpours.
Yes, the materials are specifically engineered to be foldable and squishable. You can easily tuck it into a larger bag or drawer when you aren't using it without damaging the structure.
Bellroy uses durable, high-performance recycled fabrics for the Lite collection. These materials are chosen to balance long-term sustainability with the lightweight, protective requirements of the sleeve.
