Just what I was looking/hoping for... [Posted on 2007-12-28]
Finding 13" notebook cases at the retail level is nearly impossible. 15" appears to be the threshold for OfficeMax, Staples, Best Buy, etc., and I didn't want my 13" MacBook swimming in an oversized bag. However, I wanted more than a sleeve configuration. I flew last week, and brought the computer along. This bag is an ideal blend of compactness/portability and storage space. It was able to accommodate the MacBook power adapter, a short (retractable) ethernet cable, earbuds, magazines and other paperwork, and my boarding pass, with room to spare. The bag is light, and the computer compartment is perfectly sized with ample padding. I have a minor concern about long-term durability, but I'll reserve judgment for now (it's only a few weeks old). Thumbs way up for this bag.
Just the right size [Posted on 2008-01-21]
I bought the Marware Sportfolio Deluxe for my son's MacBook as a Christmas gift. He says it is just the right size for his MacBook and is so convenient for transporting it---light weight and easy to tote.
good bag overall [Posted on 2008-03-24]
great bag for protecting and carrying my macbook, but after seeing some other bags in person @ the apple store, i kinda wish i got a backpack instead with more room and faux fur feel .incase,oakley and wenger make good bags ! i'ts got good pockets and sufficient room, but gets a little tight when i put my macbook in with its mcally shell on.i give it 3 stars.
Really Nice Case With Some Exceptions [Posted on 2008-04-16]
This is a really nice case for carrying a Macbook and a variety of accessories. As I am not a backpack kind of guy, I needed a case that could transport my Macbook, as well as all my needful accessories ( power cord, mouse, remote, etc ). Surprisingly, there are not a lot of compact cases to choose from that accommodate all these things. The Marware case seemed the best choice.
I like the feel of the case. Orca skin is a nice touch. The roomy zippered compartment is plenty adequate for my storage needs. A semi-rigid frame provides good protection for the notebook. The notebook compartment features a lined nylon zipper to protect from scratches when taking out or putting the Macbook away. The compartment itself is plush lined to baby my Mac. All in all, a very nice case.
I do have two concerns though. First of all, the case simply will not stand upright as it is pictured in the ad display. The orca skin wraparound results in a rounded bottom causing the case to be completely unstable when resting on its bottom. Plan on laying it down when you put it down, if you don't, it will ungracefully lay itself down for you!
Secondly, the notebook compartment needs to open more widely. The zipper barely extends beyond the top corners of the case making one hand loading or unloading of the notebook somewhat difficult.
I give this case 4 stars for being very good in most important respects. I just wish it would stand up and open up !
Perfect Fit [Posted on 2008-04-28]
Nice product, but could use a bit more padding on the bottom and sides. I like all the compartments and the organizer portion. Will hold a few things in addition to the macbook. Probably priced about $20 too high for what it is, but no other brand fits the macbook as well.
