INVZI's sleeve for the 14-inch MacBook Pro offers an elegant look. At the same time, the sleeve will not put a dent in your wallet. Don't be fooled by its cheaper price tag, though as it's right up there with other expensive sleeves on the market.

INVZI's sleeve is made up of classic PU (polyurethane) leather. It looks and feels premium, and the ultra-thin design doesn't take up too much space in your bag either. The sleeve is superbly functional too and it can be used as a stand for your laptop. As such, the sleeve can help you attain a comfortable typing experience. And, seeing how it lifts the laptop, the sleeve also helps in dissipating heat, which is great.

The sleeve is compatible with 12-14-inch MacBooks and laptops. A strong magnetic closure ensures strong protection without unnecessary zips or flaps. It comes in two color options – Saddle Brown and Black. Do note that some buyers have complained about their MacBook Pro starting by itself when in the case. So, when you do put the laptop in the sleeve, make sure to close the MacBook's lid properly.
