If we are traveling often, we have multiple ways of protecting the chassis of our favorite Macbook Pro; one of them is the LUXA2 Macbook Pro 15’’ Unibody sleeve. The laptop can be inserted into the sleeve with ease, which is made from high quality leather and besides protection, we give it an overall professional look.
At first I would like to thank Thermaltake for sending a sample of the LUXA2 Macbook Pro 15'' Leather Sleeve for reviewing.
“LUXA2, a Division of Thermaltake, was created in 2009, with characteristics of simplicity, luxury, and unique lifestyle. The core design theory of LUXA2 starts from simple shapes blending with luxury elements, which create the unique lifestyle for different segments within the society such as Creative Pro, Mobile Blogger, Leisure Seeker, Hip Newbie, Entertainment Junkie, and Apple's Mac Lovers.
LUXA2 represent an emerging trend of "individuality" in the world. Not only do people need function, but they also need aesthetic appeal. This is what LUXA2 has achieved. Exquisite craftsmanship with aesthetic and elegant design style is a promise and commitment from LUXA2. Thus, the Simplicity, Luxury and Lifestyle of LUXA2 creates a Uniquely You.”
When travelling, many of us also choose to take their laptop and/or with them to be updated with the latest news, chat or do some work; for the Unibody 15'' Macbook Pros, Thermaltake has designed the LUXA2 Metropolitan Genuine Leather Sleeve, which is meant to protect our laptop even further from dirt or scratches. The sleeve is packed inside a transparent plastic enclosure, with some of the details on both front and back:
The product can be unpacked in a matter of seconds, carries a simple look and is made from genuine leather, as the title says:
Besides the sleeve, inside we will also find a small leaflet with instructions:
On the sleeves' front we can find the LUXA2 logo:
Here is also a look on the sides of the sleeve, for analyzing the finishing:
On the back side of the product, we can see a different texture of the leather:
The interior of the Metropolitan Leather Sleeve is padded with a superfine fiber for protecting the chassis of the Macbook from scratches or minor impacts:
The Macbook can slide right in with little to no force:
This way, we can put the sleeve in our backpack, without worrying about objects falling into it to scratch the surface.
The LUXA2 Leather Sleeve is, without a doubt, an useful accessory that enhances the protection of our Macbook Pro Unibody during travel and is made from genuine leather, with a simple and professional design; the interior is using a superfine fiber material, which protects the chassis from scratches and minor impacts.
The Luxa2 Macbook Leather Sleeve is available in 11 inch, 13 inch and 15 inch variants, for both the Macbook Pro and Air.
The product is available online to be bought for about 25 Euros and it is an interesting product to have if we do not already own a full-cover case for our Macbook.
I would like to thank again to Thermaltake for offering this sample for review!
