Know before you buy
The primary difference is the interior depth. The 4-inch model offers a slimmer profile for essential documents and a laptop, while the 5-inch model provides extra clearance if you need to carry bulkier items like power bricks, notebooks, or additional files.
Yes, the Monroe is specifically engineered to accommodate most 17-inch laptops. Because the case features a rigid, dove-tailed frame, your device will remain protected from external pressure during transit.
The case utilizes a traditional dual-combination lock mechanism located on the front latches. You can set your own unique code to ensure your confidential files and electronics remain secure.
Full-grain leather is durable and develops a unique patina over time. To maintain it, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying.
The interior file organizer is integrated into the case design to provide structural stability and efficient partitioning. It is not designed to be removed, ensuring your documents stay upright and organized at all times.
The piano hinge runs the full length of the case, which allows for a smooth, consistent opening motion and superior structural integrity compared to standard hinges. It ensures the lid stays aligned perfectly even after years of daily use.
