But especially now in a hybrid-work world, a protective case with pockets is the number one thing that has made her commutes easier. The peace of mind that comes with protecting your $1,000 machine from the cold, hard ground is perhaps reason enough to invest in a durable laptop sleeve. But we think the convenience of having everything tech-adjacent in one place is the true beauty of laptop sleeves.

During frenzied mornings, you can simply grab the whole thing and head to the office knowing that you have everything you need. Also? They just look good. “Maybe this is just a me thing,” Brittney says, “But I feel effortlessly cool slotting a minimalist, space-gray laptop case in my tote bag and dashing to the office.” (Editor’s note: Brittney is just effortlessly cool in general.)
