A laptop may seem like a standalone device with everything—keyboard, screen, trackpad, hard drive—all neatly packaged into one box, but it’s not quite that simple.
First off, you need a charger and charging cable, you need to carry your AirPods with you when you’re on the go, and you might prefer a proper mouse over your MacBook’s trackpad. And what if you have an iPad to work with? A simple sleeve won’t do it all, but the Nomad Organizer from luxury bag maker Harber London certainly will.
The Nomad has 10 pockets, including one padded pocket for a MacBook Pro and another padded pocket that can fit an iPad from 9.7 inches to 12.9 inches, and is spacious enough to fit a tablet if you use the Smart Cover. However, since it can fit both a laptop and a tablet, it can be tricky to close the sleeve if you also pack chargers and other tech.
One of the bottom pockets is big enough to fit a MacBook charger, but when closed, there’s a bump on the thin line. I prefer to store my bulkier items in a bag with a wider opening (check out our favorite tech organizers) and store my thinner essentials in this sleeve.
Two pockets are zippered for secure storage (e.g. cash or memory cards) and there’s a handy key fob strap. There are also a few holders for pens or an Apple Pencil.
There is a phone pocket, but we don’t want to keep all our devices in one place, and most of us prefer to carry our phones in our pockets or bags where they are easier to fit. If you do, it is large enough to fit an iPhone Pro Max.
Below that pocket are a few slots for credit cards or travel cards, and above that are five straps for your AirPods case, cables, and even AirTags. Ultimately, the sleeve itself is always worth a look at this price point. I would have preferred a more secure elastic strap, but the all-leather design looks very premium.
The Nomad Organizer can be carried under your arm using the built-in handle, or hung on your shoulder like a messenger bag with the matching strap.
Handcrafted from full-grain Spanish leather, this premium MacBook sleeve screams true luxury. Available in Tan, Dark Brown, Black, and Navy.
