I was looking to find a minimal and slim leather sleeve as a gift for someone purchasing the new Space Gray 14" MacBook Pro and found some interesting options that might prove helpful to others searching for something similar.
I have had great success in the past with OLPR Leather goods as the quality has always been high and provided at a good value. They have some nice sleeves made out of Italian leather with a beautiful blue option looking particularly appealing for the new Macbook Pros.
The other option I considered was the OG of leather sleeves for Apple products and one that I’ve always wanted to try something from but never have and that is Joli Originals. They have smooth or textured leather options and the one that looked interesting to me was the textured leather in black with aqua felt lining. The thing that’s interesting about Joli sleeves is that they are made in the vertical orientation so the MacBook Pro charging port is left accessible when in the case. The price of these was the highest and it was listed as a pre-order, so I wasn’t sure if I would get the sleeve in time.
The final place that I found was RYAN London. They had quite a few interesting leather color options to choose from, which made them stand out. The price was the best of the three at $84 all in and the cost of Shipping was even included in the price, which made this sleeve the best value proposition. The other thing that was really nice is that monogramming is an option and is included for free, which made the value of this sleeve even sweeter. And I was pretty confident it would ship quickly, which it did. So, I received the item and am blown away by the quality of materials and construction, color, design, and feel of the product! The person I gave it to was also seriously impressed and pleased with the sleeve. I went with the Zinc and Blue combination and feel the gray tone will be the perfect complement to the Space Gray MBP. It would probably look killer with the Silver MBP as well. The Blue interior is also vibrant and stunning. I couldn’t be happier with my choice and know that it will give joy to the person I gave it to every time they use it.
