I got the sleeve with pockets. The workman ship is beautiful but the execution is a bit off. The side with the pockets, the felt side, is substantial. The felt is thick and the pockets hold a phone and keys great. The leather side is really thin however and floppy and so bc the felt is thick, it is a bit difficult to get the laptop in. I'm contemplating getting the one without pockets so it's not floppy. But the whole reason I got the pockets was because I work in a large building and often have to take phone, keys, and laptop to meetings but I don't want to take an entire bag and this holds them all neatly, compactly, and stylishly (women's pants pockets do not really fit a phone and keys).

The sleeve is nice but very flimsy and doesn’t hold its structure very well. If both sides had felt lining it may hold its structure a lot better. The leather is soft to feel but the structure lets it down.
