Booq Mamba Sleeve 15 Natural Sleeve for MacBook 15 (MSL15-BLK) Reviews

Customer Ratings:

It's hard to find a snug fit for the 15in Retina, and this sleeve almost made it. However, no matter how careful or how slowly I closed it up, the zippers would scuff up the aluminium in the front corners of the notebook.

The scuffs would be easily wiped off, but the longer I used it the harder it was to wipe them off. I'm certain with time, they would permanently damage my machine.

Perhaps this was a bit too tight a fit by a couple of millimeters, which I feel could be shaved off if they removed the permanent cloth tag on the inside of the sleeve. Shame, it was a nice sleeve. My search continues...

If anyone was looking for a very tight fit on their Retina MBP, this is my sleeve to get. The thing is super tight around the entire computer, it doesn't slide around inside the sleeve at all. The lining on the inside is great, I think it's neoprene.

Also, for those concerned with getting scratches on their computer, there is lining for the zipper that will protect the laptop, but if you are in a rush to zip it up it could possibly scratch it because the sleeve is so form fitting that the zipper is very close to the laptop.

It's a great sleeve overall and I'm happy with my purchase

If you are looking for a sleeve for your MacBook Pro with Retina display, this is it. The fit is perfect. It's thin and lite, just like the MBPr. It will protect your MBPr from nicks and bumps. You won't go wrong with the Mamba sleeve 15.

The color is not solid black, there are gray lines running through it and the sleeve has a fabric feel to it. A plus in my book.

Now, about the zipper. I read some reviews about the zipper leaving scuff marks on the corner of their MBPr. I have not had this problem. The sleeve does fit snug, but that keeps your MBPr from sliding around inside of it. There are two small bumpers inside the sleeve. One on each flap. When you start to zip it close. You pull out slightly away from the MBPr as you zip. The bumpers come together to prevent the zipper from contacting your MBPr. Not once have I had the zipper come in contact with my MBPr.

I apologize for the video quality. Since uploads are capped at 100MB, I had to reduce the quality, which is why you cannot see the scuff marks when I point them out.

This is a great sleeve. The jute material feels a little rough on the outside, but it gives a distinguished look to it. The color is light brown. The MBPr and this sleeve together remind me of a Le Corbusier chair if you know what I mean. The fit is tight, which looks great, so you can take advantage of the ultra thin design of the MBPr. The inside is really plush. I have not had any issues scuffing the corners of the MBPr with the zippers. Because I read that scuffs could happen in a different review, I make sure to pull outward on the zipper straps a little while I close the sleeve that keeps the metal portion of the zipper away from the corners. Once the sleeve is closed, there is a protective ridge of felt that keeps the computer from touching the zipper. I hope this helps!
