Beautiful! Highly recommend.My husbands review:I bought this for my Microsoft Surface Pro 4. Upon receiving it, I liked the leatherette feel and premise. It added a bit more size and thickness to my surface but lacked the carry pocket for the charger.I use the surface keyboard constantly and presumed the entire setup would fit inside.Unfortunately, I inserted Surface and ProType keyboard into it, and it got stuck. Took me a few minutes to pull it out.When it was in, it was already a tight fit. Presumably, this sleeve is great only for the Surface without a keyboard.For my usage, I may have to get the MacBook version so that I have room for the keyboard at least. I returned this one.This is the perfect sleeve / carrying case for a MacBook Air or similar computer. This elegant, versatile sleeve protects my investment (MBA) when other computers are left unprotected. Already, this has protected my computer from bumps, scratches, etc. This is a must-have accessory for MacBook Airs (or similar laptops)!I wanted a professional looking laptop case and this is perfect. Feels nice and looks nice. It’s big enough for my 13” Mac and I could probably feet either a notepad or a few loose papers in there too. I wouldn’t put much more in there though since the closure is just a magnetMy 13-inch 2010 Macbook White could fit after a bit of effort — it's not the intended device for the product so I didn't have high expectations for it to begin with. I mostly wanted to use it as a portfolio/folder anyway, where I could keep papers and my daily task journal when I don't need a whole bag.It just so happens that on my first day using it (the same day I wrote this review), I had to bring it through the rain. The material appears to be water resistant, as it kept both its contents and my head dry. BUT: the entire case itself is NOT waterproof. Given its design, this should be obvious.It's not the highest-quality material but given its price, it's satisfactory enough for me. It's aesthetically nice too, at least. I just feel like the magnets aren't very strong; they do stick and keep the cover closed but sometimes it still feels like it could accidentally open anytime, spilling out its contents. Or maybe I just need to get used to it.MacBook Pro 2016 Retina 15" with Touchbar experience -I'll start by saying the reviews were mostly accurate - this sleeve is VERY good looking. It has aesthetic flaws, which really bother me and why it only gets a low-star rating.What makes it awesome?The material is super comfortable to hold.It's not that typical leather feel (it's not leather), but more like a cloth-leather material.I didn't quite expect it, but I like it a lot.The color is also very nice - like an orange-brick-brown.The stitching is beautifully done. Impeccable.The Valkit logo on the front is cool and sleek looking.The flap closes and connects. I think paper thin magnets because they are undetectable. Maybe it's the material... Either way, super nice.Material seems to regain it's form, but it's also related to why it's not so great after all.Why not 5 stars?One (main) reason: The material folds and looks horrible - I mean ugly. Pictures I took did not do it justice.It's possible it's me, but I did read that this would fit the 2016 MacBook Pro 16" Retina" Touchbar... Nope. There is is so much extra space on the left and right side that when I place it in a laptop backpack or briefcase, it folds the sleeve and makes it look bad.In a client meeting pulling the sleeve out and have it look like raggedy case was unexpected. I think if the MacBook fit better it wouldn't be as bad, but still, the edges fold also and just kills the looks.Eventually it regains its shape, but not entirely, so over time I don't expect it to hold up looking good.It's not protective - really all it's going to do is look pretty until the edges fold and prevent scratches. It's not meant to be a protective case, it's a sleeve, so keep that in mind.I thought it would have more of a leather look. The pictures here seem to have that leather color variation, but the one I got is a flat color.Final verdict:Looks good until it looks really-not-so-good-at-all, but for $20 it's still a good buy if you're ok with the edges being flimsy.For some reason the magnets interfere and force the MacBook on. Besides that it’s fineBuen material excelente color
