The reviewer's 15-inch MacBook Pro fit the sleeve, but it was very snug and somewhat difficult to remove. Each exterior side pocket has a Velcro closure, and the reviewer found them large enough for a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Under the flap, two large zippered pockets and attachment loops provide room for accessories such as the reviewer's tube of lip balm.
Removable magnetic strips can cover the Velcro, allowing the flap to close silently instead of making the usual ripping noise. A light-grey waterproof wipe-clean liner covers the flap underside and interior, while a rubber bottom boot protects against dirty surfaces.
