Belkin Carrying Case (Sleeve) for 11" to 12" Notebook

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Mac M1 with a hard case on it and it fits well in this case. I wanted something very small, does not add bulk or weight, that can protect the Mac without having to constantly remove it from a bag. This case works...simply unzip and open to reveal your laptop. Close it and zip it up and you are ready to go. The top lid slides under a clear plastic screen which holds it in place. Although it would seem that this clear plastic would create distortion, it is really hardly noticeable. But it can grip a little which may be problematic if you want to remove it form the case often. The bottom has two stretchable straps. It has a small zipper pouch on the front large enough to squeeze in a power adapter or headphones. With a Mac M1 you really don't need to carry your adapter with you since it runs all day. The rear has a carry on luggage handle strap, a card business holder and integrated shoulder strap. The case is stiff and seems to have some kind of hard plastic inserts that give it stability. Padding seems to be about a quarter inch thick foam which works but I would not compare it to a bulky padded bag. For easy access's light weight, a short second to open and close it, I love it!
