I bought this sleeve October of 2018 for use with my then-brand-new MacBook Pro 13" -- over a year ago. All the attached photos, on the other hand, are from TODAY -- i.e. a YEAR after purchase. As you can tell, even after almost-daily use (schlepping it to-and-from work inside of an unprotected tote bag, dragging it on trips, bringing to coffeeshops, etc.), the only sign of wear is slight dirtying of the logo in the lower left-hand corner. Otherwise, I've noticed no significant -- if any -- frayed threads, ripped fabric, or zipper malfunctions.
Obviously, in terms of hardiness, this sleeve gets an A++. I'm also happy to report that its utility has also been awesome. I'm very finicky with my technology protection (and after dropping as much money as I did on my MacBook, for good reason!), and the design of the sleeve is excellent. The inside is plush and soft, with an underlying foam layer that offers ridged circles to effectively distribute any impact force. The corner protection is also great -- if you squeeze and poke the corners of the bag, they feel solid, with very little give. It also does an excellent job of providing layers of fabric between the computer and the zipper, which means that there's no chance of the zipper accidentally scratching your computer while it's in the bag -- only if you're careless about taking it out or putting it in. (This was something very important to me when I did my initial sleeve research, and part of the reason I settled on this one -- and I'm very glad I did, as it's never been an issue!)
At the same time, despite all the sturdy protection, the profile of the sleeve isn't too big or heavy -- definitely thicker than a straight-up neoprene case, but the added protection is more than worth the modest increase in bulk. Be aware that the pocket on the outside does NOT have any additional padding and can only JUST (under duress) fit a MacBook charger+extension cord, but it's got a water resistant interior and a solid zipper, and is definitely large enough for pretty much any other accessories (USB-C adapters, etc.), so ends up another positive in my book.
Again, allow me to stress: This is the FIRST TIME I've ever gone back and written a review, precisely because I've been so pleased with this product. I'll come back and update if anything changes, but judging from how it's held up during its first year and how well it's protected my computer through a few desk-to-floor tumbles, I suspect it'll easily last me for the lifespan of this computer and beyond. I'm so glad I decided to invest a few extra bucks in computer protection by purchasing this bag, and highly recommend that you do so as well, as the list price is extremely fair for the quality of the product.
P.S. I was super skeptical of that one review describing how this sleeve protected a MacBook after it fell off a motorcycle at 90mph, but after owning it for a year? Yeah. Sounds legit.

Fit - As the description states, it is a "perfect fit". Absolutely no complaints, nice and snug without any worries about zipping corners getting caught up in zippers.
Protection - I would say this is middle-weight protection. The bottom two corners (same side as the Tomtoc logo) feel more reinforced than the top two corners with a thicker foam or cushioning. All edges of the laptop sit against a very soft material (almost velvet-like feel) while the top and bottom are protected by textured (bubbled) fabric as seen in the photos. I'm not sure how this would hold up to a severe drop on a hard surface, but minor bumps and drops should be protected.
Quality and Other Features - Overall, the fit and finish is great, clean appearance with no hanging threads or other signs of quality control issues. I don't foresee having issues with it holding up over time. Zippers are think and light, but zip well and do not catch on interior fabrics. Nice zipper pulls are attached to both zippers on the main compartment as well as the side compartment. The side compartment is a nice feature, which easily holds the wall adapter, charging cable, and a USB-C Adapter. One or two more small accessories may fit snugly in the compartment.
Conclusion - For the price point, and moderate level protection, you can't go wrong with this sleeve!
1. Protection Level: The sleeve's protective quality is evident. I accidentally dropped my bag with the laptop inside, and there were no signs of damage. This gives me confidence in the product's ability to safeguard my MacBook.
2. Environmental Consciousness: The sense of quality in the fabric is commendable, and the fact that it's made from recycled materials aligns with my values.
3. Additional Storage: The extra front pocket is very practical for my accessories, and the key strap is a clever addition.
4. Reputation and Warranty: Strong reviews and recommendations, coupled with a 12-month worry-free warranty, make this purchase feel secure.
Cons:
1. Zipper Quality: Although it works smoothly, the zipper doesn't feel as robust as I would like. Time will tell how it holds up.
2. Price Point: While I recognize the quality, the price is a bit on the higher side. However, I believe it's justified for the protection level.
3. Aesthetic Appeal: I would have appreciated more color options or design elements. The current design is a bit plain for my taste.
Conclusion:
Despite minor drawbacks, the tomtoc 360° Protective Laptop Sleeve has won me over with its protective abilities, environmental consciousness, and thoughtful design. While the zipper quality and aesthetic appeal could be improved, the overall functionality and quality make this a must-have for MacBook owners. The positives far outweigh the negatives, making this a full 5-star product for me. If you're looking for a reliable sleeve for your MacBook or iPad, I highly recommend this one. It's an investment in peace of mind.

Aún así la recomiendo para la m2, es de muy buena calidad y se nota que protege muy bien

Después de poco más de un mes de uso se amoldó perfecto a la MacBook Air m2, por lo que esos milímetros que comentaba que le faltaban ya no son necesarios, le queda perfecto, la recomiendo mucho.
