*The maximum score is 100 points
In our practical test, the GOODS+GADGETS® neoprene laptop sleeve largely lived up to its advertising promises.
The protection and padding of the sleeve are adequate, as suitably thick neoprene material is used to protect the laptop from knocks, scratches and light pressure. The fit is very good and the sleeve encloses the laptop firmly and securely without being too loose or too tight. It is even slightly stretchable, so that the mouse or charging cable can be easily carried along.
The internal protective lip also prevents the laptop from accidentally falling out when the sleeve is opened. The double-sided zipper proves to be robust and smooth-running, which makes packing and unpacking the notebook easier.
The design and aesthetics of the sleeve are also very appealing, as it is simple and elegant without unnecessary embellishments. This makes it suitable for any occasion and a timeless companion.
As far as water resistance is concerned, the case is waterproof but not water-repellent. However, light splashes or moisture can be safely repelled.
Overall, the GOODS+GADGETS® neoprene laptop bag offers a good balance between protection and lightness. The different sizes make it suitable for different laptops and the elegant design blends harmoniously into everyday life. However, we recommend airing the sleeve sufficiently before first use to reduce the initial odor
