Choose the right laptop cover in 3 steps
Don't look at inch size, look at the inner dimensions
Are you looking for a laptop cover? Don't pay attention to the inch size of the laptop or the cover. That's because these differ quite a lot. Look at the inner dimensions of the cover and the dimensions of your laptop.
- Don't look at inch size
- Look at the inner dimensions of the cover
- Determine how much protection the cover should provide
- Additional wishes: storage space and wearing comfort
1. Look at the inner dimensions
Not every 15-inch laptop fits in every 15-inch laptop cover. That's due to the varied sizes of both covers and laptops. Brand-specific laptop covers are especially designed for a specific laptop series. For example, for the Apple MacBook and the Microsoft Surface. As a result, these covers fit seamlessly by default. We automatically match the right laptop cover to the laptops. That way, you know for sure the cover will fit. Want to be even more sure? Measure the width of the laptop and check if it fits in the laptop cover you want to buy.
2. Determine how much protection the cover has to offer
Protection from light impacts
With these covers, your laptop is protected when you accidentally bump it against the corner of the table or into the elbow of a fellow passenger. If your laptop falls from a table or out of your bag, these covers probably won't offer enough protection.
Protection from heavy impacts
With their shock-absorbing rubber and special foam layers, these covers protect your laptop from hard impacts and falls (up to a certain height). These covers are often tested thoroughly by the manufacturer. If a cover meets this requirement, we explicitly mention this in the product description.
Durable leather
Laptop covers made of leather look luxurious and are durable. The cover remains beautiful and protects your laptop properly. If the laptop cover has a zipper, it's usually splash proof or waterproof. The leather blocks out the water. Does a bottle of water accidentally open up in your bag or is it raining quite a bit outside? You don't have to worry about the condition of your laptop. You can recognize the waterproofness by the IP certification.
3. Additional wishes
Storage space
You'll probably also want to bring accessories in addition to your laptop. Don't have space in your bag for this? A laptop cover with an accessory compartment would be a good option for you. That way, you can also store your charger, mouse, and USB drives. Some laptop covers also have a special compartment for your tablet or smartphone, so you can store everything neatly.
Wearing comfort
If you're often on the go, it's important that you can easily carry your laptop with you. It could be useful to have a cover that has a handle or shoulder strap. That way, you can take your laptop with you comfortably and you won't drop it as fast.
