Throughout the week, we’ll be posting reviews of several different full-size SLAPPA laptop bags, which work well when you’re loaded down with your laptop and a bunch of other gear. But what if you’re just heading down to the coffee shop and only need your laptop? SLAPPA’s laptop sleeves will do nicely. First and foremost, sleeves like the Ballistix Aura and Stealth offer additional protection when you’ve got your laptop stored in a bigger bag. Just slip your computer into the sleeve and slip the sleeve into your bag. When you attach an optional shoulder strap to the sleeve, though, it becomes its own small laptop bag. The downside here is that there is precious little extra room in the sleeve once you put the laptop in. The zipper pocket on the back works well for papers, notebooks, magazines, mouse pads and other small items, but that’s about it. And while I was able fit my laptop’s power chord in the pocket after some finagling, it was a very snug fit, so much so that I wasn’t comfortable zipping the pocket shut. The bag itself is high quality, though the padding doesn’t seem sufficient enough to protect a laptop from a substantial blow. All of which is to say that the Aura and Stealth sleeves aren’t everyday solutions for your laptop portability needs, but they definitely serve a very convenient purpose for those traveling extremely light or looking for extra protection on longer trips.
