What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Compatibility details conflict: the listing gives a maximum device size of 14.8 centimeters, while separate fit claims specify laptops up to 35.8 x 24.6 cm / 14.1 x 9.7 inches or 35.8 x 24.8 cm /14.1 x 9.8 inches, and its MacBook Air and Pro compatibility wording differs. Confirm your laptop's dimensions and model fit before buying. The listing calls the exterior rigid, while customer feedback says it is not made of hard plastic. Water resistance is listed without a level or conditions.
