Scuffed my 2021 16’ Macbook Pro

I really hate to leave a bad review on ebay, especially because I love tomtoc’s 12.9 inch ipad sleeve, but this one is a miss.When I put my MacBook in here, and closed the zipper, i heard a quick sort of muted metallic "syyysss” kind of noise, and when I slowly opened the zipper back up, i noticed a faint little scuff. I have a silver laptop, but if someone had a darker space gray colored laptop I would imagine this would’ve actually removed the anodized coating.I’m not even one to care about scuffs and dings, it adds character and they’re inevitable, i’m just kind of buffering at the fact a product meant to PROTECT the product from scuffs and dings, is causing a scuff on the corners. The sleeve needs to be made just a bit bigger to accompany the larger size.The zipper does feel nice, and the external pocket also has a zipper that feels nice to open and close. It does fit the 96w charger that comes with the laptop, including the brick. The sleeve I feel is what I like to call, "north face rated water resistance”, in which I mean the sleeve doesn’t allow a flood of water to reach your laptop, but given a drizzle, your laptop may become "humid”.Speaking of North Face backpacks, I own the Surge, a pretty decent sized (normal) backpack, and while this sleeve fits, it definitely takes up some room, more so than the images of it would lead you to believe.I would imagine it’s protective from bumps, even while it’s scuffing your laptop in the meantime.I always like to lead myself to believing it’s my fault, but I truly don’t see how a fully naked laptop sits all of the way at the bottom of the sleeve and then still gets scratched by the zipper being my fault because I do take the utmost of care.

Pros
  • We have this on all our Mac books. It is perfect and protects the laptop very well.
Cons
  • Lack of padding in key areas
