Review on Stylish Brown Leather Organizer Clutch For 13.5 Inch Microsoft Surface Book by Michael Luna

First Impressions (For Now)

I ordered the one for the 13" Macbook Air with Retina display, to use with my Surface Pro 3. It just came today, so for now I'm just going to post first impressions.First, it SMELLS like leather. And I mean that in a good way. It isn't strong, nor do I notice it unless I put it up to my face, but it is definitely real leather. The leather looks to be good quality, and the workmanship doesn't look too bad. No irregularities in the stitching, and it just looks good.Next, I put my SP3 with TypeCover into it, and wow - this thing comes out thick. I guess I just didn't consider how many layers of leather, plus whatever stiffener is inside the cover, there would be. At this point, I'll be putting a small USB hub with a 6" USB cable into the pouch with the snap, and the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse will go into the larger pouch without a closure. The size is larger than I thought it would be. You can see in the picture that there is more than an inch of space at the top of the PC.I'll reserve final judgment on carrying this thing around, since it just walked into the house and I haven't walked out with it yet, but I suspect that I may end up wishing it had a handle, like others have stated. I also suspect that it would be nice without all of the extra pouches, since they do add to the bulk. It is nice to have a place to put my mouse and USB hub, but all the extras are just a temptation to carry more junk, and add to the bulk. Zipped shut, the edges can be expanded to about an inch of thickness, though it is easy to imagine falling to temptation and stuffing all of the pouches, and getting the middle to be more than two inches thick. I also expected the height to be smaller.For now I'll say that I'm happy that I bought it, though like I said, there seems to be a few drawbacks.
