The protective casing on the rest of the MacBook means that it’s well-protected from scratches when in transit, too. It combines a hard shell with protective, shock-absorbing ridges on the front and back of every corner, ensuring that drops and bangs are warded off in equal measure.

Incase Hardshell for 16-inch MacBook Pro.We tried to avoid sleeves with loud colors, really gaudy branding, and odd detailing, and looked for sleeves that came in several color options. But once we had found a list of sleeves that worked well, we used their appearance to distinguish which would become our picks. Aesthetics: Considering that there are basically an infinite number of sleeves in an infinite number of styles, we prioritized function in our evaluation of laptop sleeves.

If a pocket isn’t big enough to hold a laptop charger, it basically only functions to add bulk.


Protection: At the bare minimum a laptop sleeve must offer protection from dust, scratches, and bumps.The Gauntlet 3.0 should also protect a computer from small falls or drops much better than a neoprene sleeve could, though we wouldn’t trust it to keep a laptop pristine after a tumble of more than a few feet-after all, it’s not certified to any shock-resistance standards. We wouldn’t toss a Gauntlet-clad laptop into a lake, but some light rain and snow should be no danger to a computer encased in one of these. The inside was only a bit damp, and only near the hinge, and the Gauntlet 3.0 let in less water than any other water-resistant case we tested, aside from the original Gauntlet. We filled the Gauntlet 3.0 with paper towels and then sprayed it with a kitchen-sink sprayer for 30 seconds to test its water resistance, and we found that only a little water soaked through the hinge. The Gauntlet 3.0’s stiff sides offer about as much protection as you can get in a sleeve, and its water-resistant zipper helps keep liquids out. Why it’s great: The Thule Gauntlet 3.0 has a rigid clamshell design that zips along three of its four edges and can withstand more abuse than a padding-only design.
