We tried three cases for a 2022 ASUS 14” OLED laptop and 2020 Apple 13” Macbook Air. We were looking for a robust case offering work-in-case and the maximum of protection. All of them were very good with at least a 4.5 average rating here on Amazon, none of them was perfect. We chose the Nacuwa 13-14 inch computer carrying sleeve. The cases we considered were: Nacuwa 13-14 inch computer carrying sleeve Work-in-case suitability: Second-best of the three. Has elastic straps that limit opening of the two halves of the case to about a 110-degree angle. Must exercise care on closing case to make sure these straps don’t remain between the laptop keyboard and screen during closing, else it is possible to crack the laptop screen. (We insert thumbs into the left and right side straps to keep the straps outside the closing laptop, and close the laptop with the fingers. Hard to describe, easy to figure out once you’re faced with doing it.) Degree of protection: Tied with the FINPAC for best of the three. 4 protective layers aren’t just ad copy. The outer layer is resistant to flexing: I’d feel pretty good about this in an overloaded backpack. Fit: Best of the three. A little bit of slop for the Zenbook, moreso for the Macbook, but still acceptable. Pluses: Best zipper of the three. (Zipper failures are mentioned for these kinds of cases, and we’ve seen such failures with previously-purchased cases.) All three cases had good quality zippers and integral fabric, but this one stood out. Minuses: Really wish the interior case straps didn’t put the screen at risk. No handle or strap. Belkin Air Protect Laptop Case – 14” Work-in-case suitability: The best of the three. Has a very clever, adjustable harness for the screen that really works, along with fabric straps to capture the keyboard. This is probably the best solution that anyone could have. Belkin also seems to have thought about air circulation more than the others. I’d trust this for extended work while in the case more than the others. Closing the case is as simple as swinging the case shut. No worries. Degree of protection: Not bad, but the worst of the three. Not as rigid as I wish: wouldn’t protect as well against bending stresses in an overloaded backpack. Not nearly as much of the padding as other cases. Would not protect against dropping as well. Fit: Belkin makes this in only two very different sizes, which is limiting if you want a decently close fit. This 14” case has 2” of slop in both dimensions on the Zenbook, and more on the Macbook. Pluses: Has a great cloth briefcase handle on the outside of the case. None of the others do. This is really helpful. Minuses: The degree of protection is just less than we felt was acceptable. FINPACK 13.5-14-inch Hard Laptop Sleeve Case Work-in-case suitability: Doesn’t do well for this. I suppose you could open the case 360 degrees and place the laptop on top of the open case. Also I wonder how good the air circulation under the laptop is: the soft padding of the innermost layer is right up against the back of the laptop. For travel, the laptop is supposed to be in a lycra pouch inside the case, and would then have to be removed when the case was opened. Degree of protection: Fantastic, tied with the Nacuwa. 4 layers, but a different 4 than Nacuwa. Stiff outer layer. Fit: Some slop with both laptops. But there are several other sizes including one specifically for a 13-inch Macbook, so we could’ve improved on this. Pluses: Great protection. Has a little handstrap near one corner, but it doesn’t seem nearly as secure as the handle on the Belkin. Minuses: Just not a work-in-case option. And there are other cases available that are The ideal case: the Nacuwa with Belkin’s screen suspension system and briefcase handle. But since that’s not available, we’re very happy to go with the Nacuwa.
