The Brenthaven Elite Sleeve II that will be reviewed today is the Black/Green variant of the series. Note that other color schemes are available including Brown/Pink and Gray/Orange. The Elite Sleeve II is a 15.4” notebook sleeve with a magnetic flap as method to secure the notebook.

Its external shell has a mesh-like texture and it is fairly rough to the touch. It is made of 500D Cordura and this will give the notebook sleeve excellent durability and resistance against water. Asides from an overall black exterior, the sleeve has bright green sewing thread that runs parallel to the end of the notebook flap.





The flap of the Elite Sleeve has a diagonal end. At one of its corners, there is leather with the company’s logo embossed into it. This corner helps opening and closing the flap.



With the flap opened, we can see that the underside of the flap is coloured bright green.



The Elite Sleeve II uses a magnetic flap to secure the case. There are two magnets and they do an excellent job to keep the flap closed. In other words, you have to put a decent amount of force to open the flap. Accidently opening the flap is unlikely.

Although many people will cringe to the idea of having magnets near magnetic-sensitive objects such as notebooks, these magnets are too weak to cause any noticeable damage. However, they will most likely be able to damage magnetic stripe cards, such as credit cards.
