Suggestions on carrying bag or sleeves

Following up on the successful Suggestions on carry bag or sleeve (Framework 13) and Recommended laptop bags / cases / sleeves? (Framework 16), I figured I would start a thread for the Framework 12 as I’m patiently waiting for mine!

For my 13", I have been using a Defender-A13 Laptop Sleeve for 13.5-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop and I’m really happy with it (see Suggestions on carry bag or sleeve - #132 by anarcat), so if there’s a tomtoc that fits, I would probably get that. Any suggestions?

What do you think! Join in the fun! Like, don’t dupe!

No cases here, I’m gonna throw the laptop around like a frisbee

…Okay I’m not gonna do that but I’m gonna go caseless to justify the rugged build

I’ve ordered this one, the dimensions look right. Also $15 during prime day week.

I’ve ordered this canvas sleeve in pink-white for my sage FW 12 - colour overload :grin:

I was thinking about this Lenovo but haven’t purchased yet:

I’m going to sew one myself from thick felt fabric.

I picked up a sleeve from a drop ship site and am hoping it will fit my FW12 otherwise it’s gonna bw the largest sleeve for a Kobo or a board game :joy:

I have two ita bags I’m going to use at conventions but not one specifically sized for my FW

I really appreciate handles like this, even on a small, lightweight laptop bag/sleeve. When carrying a bunch of stuff into a hotel at the end of a long day, having a handle or shoulder strap can be the difference in being able to manage everything at once and avoiding that extra trip out to the car, lol.

The only way I’d want a bag without a handle is if it’s truly as small as possible and would mostly end up carried around inside another duffel/backpack.

I’ve always used tight-fitting sleeves made of neoprene or felt, for example. The sleeved notebook is slightly larger, protected from bumps and scratches and still fits perfectly in the backpack.
I don’t feel like carrying around another bag.

If you live near a Micro Center and they have these in stock, you can try-and-buy the same day:

I’ve personally tried both of them in-store and they fit my Framework Laptop 12 and my usual set of accessories. I ended up getting the Inland bag because it has carrying handles and a quick-access pocket for a phone or wallet, which is quite useful.
