Features and Specifications

The Brenthaven Elite Sleeve II is a notebook sleeve that features the company’s High Density Foam Protection System. It should provide a decent amount of padded protection for the notebook:

HDF™
The High Density Foam Protection system offers a lightweight cradle system that wraps the notebook in up to 1" of foam, while suspending it above the bottom of the case.


In addition to this, the Elite Sleeve II also features a water-resistant exterior fabric made of 500D Cordura. According to Wikipedia, Cordura is a brand name for fabrics made to be durable and resistant against various insults.

Asides from its durable design, the Elite Sleeve II uses a magnetic flap to quickly secure the notebook. Although the product website mentions a “tuck-away closure” as an alternative way of closing the notebook case, the Elite Sleeve II does not seem to have one. This tuck-away closure can however be seen on the product’s specification sheet:

Although the sleeve is specified to support 15.4” notebooks, the Elite Sleeve II was specifically designed for MacBook Pros (14.35” W x 9.82” H x 0.95” D) in mind. The sleeve should be compatible with notebooks as along as their dimensions are below 14.75" W x 9.75" H x 1" D.

The Elite Sleeve series has two models: the Elite Sleeve I designed for 13” notebooks and the Elite Sleeve II designed for 15.4” notebooks. Both models come in different schemes including Black/Green, Brown/Pink and Gray/Orange.

Finally, like all Brenthaven products, the Elite Sleeve II comes with a 100% lifetime limited guarantee.
