FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the faux fur lining?
The plush faux fur lining provides a soft, scratch-free surface for your laptop, protecting it from scuffs and minor abrasions during transport.
Can this sleeve hold more than just a laptop?
The sleeve has a dedicated external zippered pocket for small accessories like cords, a mouse, or notes. However, it is primarily designed to hold a 14-inch laptop and is not intended for bulky items.
How does the water-repellent feature work?
The exterior material is coated with a C0 water repellent, which helps to repel light moisture, such as splashes or light rain, keeping the interior and your device drier. It is not waterproof.
Is the AirTag compartment secure?
The AirTag compartment is discreetly located inside the sleeve's woven label. While it keeps the AirTag hidden, its primary function is for tracking your device if lost or stolen.
What does 'ReSpun' refer to?
ReSpun is Incase's designation for their 100% recycled polyester exterior material, emphasizing the product's commitment to environmental sustainability.
What are the exact external dimensions of the sleeve?
The sleeve measures approximately 350.5 mm (Width) x 254 mm (Height) x 20.3 mm (Depth).
Can I put a 15-inch laptop in this sleeve?
This sleeve is specifically designed for laptops up to 14 inches. A 15-inch laptop will likely be too large to fit comfortably or safely.
Troubleshooting
Laptop does not fit.
Verify that your laptop is within the 14-inch screen size limit and check its thickness against the sleeve's internal dimensions. Some thicker 14-inch models may be a very snug fit.
Zipper is difficult to open or close.
Gently try to clear any obstructions around the zipper teeth. You can also use a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax (like a candle stub) rubbed along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
Exterior shows signs of wear.
For minor scuffs, try wiping with a damp cloth. The recycled polyester is durable, but like all materials, it can show wear over time with heavy use.
AirTag compartment is difficult to access.
The compartment is designed to be discreet. Gently feel along the internal Incase woven label for a small opening or pocket. It may require a bit of careful maneuvering to insert or remove the AirTag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This sleeve is designed for laptops up to 14 inches, including specific models such as MacBook Pro (14‑inch, 2021, 2023, 2024). It is compatible with most universal 14-inch laptops, but always check the exact dimensions of your device against the sleeve's internal measurements if unsure.
Setup: No setup is required. Simply place your laptop into the main compartment. If using the AirTag feature, insert your AirTag into the designated hidden compartment within the internal woven label.
Care: To clean the sleeve, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the recycled polyester fabric or water-repellent coating. Allow the sleeve to air dry completely before inserting your laptop. Ensure the YKK zippers are free of debris to maintain smooth operation.
