However. It's described as "Reversible". It's not. It's black on both inside and out with red trim. That's it. Now, you can still flip it inside and out. That part, yeah, it's reversible. But it doesn't have a different pattern or anything. It's the exact same thing.
Despite this, it's what I was looking for and well worth the very small price I paid for it. If you're not looking for something pretty or unique, it's what you need.Reversable? don't think so... 15,6"? Never. Who controls sellers offering things they are not really selling? My 15.6" Toshiba doesn't fit on it. Very dissapointed.so i see the common trend among bad reviews are coming down to the same thing here. i do have to say though mine did come in red and black just like the picture represented, however when it comes down to brass n tacks it doesnt preform its main function. when my laptop sits inside this thing it looks lopsided so i would say look elsewhere for a decent product. Warning Waste of MoneySo after reading some of the reviews i was somewhat reluctant to order this sleeve, but after a couple of days i said what the heck, its only $10...
Delivery: AMAZINGLY FAST! I don't think its been more than 28 hours from ordering to delivery, it came in a huge (and i mean HUGE box), properly packaged, no wrinkles at all.
Quality: feels nice, doesn't have too much padding but it definitively provides cushioning. My Sony Vaio VPCEH (E series) 15.6 laptop fits in there quite easily, with extra room to spare actually. You can easily turn it inside out to chose from either red or black outside colors (i chose black).
Now the amazing part:
SMELL: yes it does have a plastic/oily smell that didn't go away even after spending a couple of hours in the sun on my patio. I figured i should wash it and after pondering on this idea I've decided it may be ruined in the washing machine so I've decided to manually wash it (with dish detergent). *** Imagine my surprise when i put this sleeve under the fosset and i basically FILLED IT WITH WATER! THIS BAD BOY IS FULLY WATER PROOF!
So my decision to wash it manually actually paid off, the washer would never be able to properly wash this sleeve and the smell would still be there. I turned it inside out and back again a couple of times, washing it through with that manual dish detergent then used half a roll of paper towels to completely dry it out. Will leave it overnight with a few bags of silica gel to suck up any remaining moisture from the inside.
So yes, if you are ever caught in the rain with your laptop in this sleeve, rest assured its perfectly safe and waterproof :)
I will let you know as time goes if the smell dimmed out.
Definitively worth every penny!
