Review on πŸ“š BookBook V2 for MacBook - Vintage Leather Book Case/Sleeve with Interior Pocket for 13” MacBook Pro w/Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) and 13” MacBook Air Retina, 13" Pro USB-C/ 13" Air Retina by Brandon Mercado

Zippers and straps feel loose/uncomfortable

This is my third BookBook case from Twelve South so I obviously like the way it looks. I'm generally happy with the functionality. But the zippers on the first two failed after just a few months, one after the other; I ended up continuing to use the cases until both the zippers on each stopped working. On this latest iteration. I find the "articulated" straps on the inside odd and uncomfortable because they literally block the USB ports. I literally have to move the straps with one hand while plugging in the USB port with the other. I liked the previous model better, with straps on top. All in all, I really hope the manufacturer comes up with a better zipper; The zippers on this new model don't seem to last longer than the zippers on the previous two. For the price it would be nice to have a stronger zip; The bag is basically useless if both zippers are broken.

Pros
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • Damaged
