Comments about REI E-Wrap Computer Sleeve - Medium:
I use this computer sleeve all the time and love it. I can put it in any big bag if I need to or carry on it's own.
I have even dropped it and the laptop inside survived perfectly.
I like the stretchy pocket in front which fits all my laptop accessories such as a mouse and cables.

Comments about REI E-Wrap Computer Sleeve - Medium:
This is one of the best computer sleeves I have found. Often you either get a sleeve only (for only your laptop) with no other form of compartment or you get a whole briefcase that can be overkill. This sleeve is perfect in the designers at REI realized that some users carry a mouse and the battery charge with the laptop! Also, with many laptop sleeves that have a zippered opening which can scratch the coating of many laptops with the zipper teeth, this sleeve has velcro opening on both side and top which allows you to remove out of the sleeve without ever having the laptop damaged by zippers or possibly the hook aspect of the velcro

Comments about REI E-Wrap Computer Sleeve - Medium:
This is my perfect laptop sleeve. Minimalist but rugged. Not a lot of room for extras but just enough for a power brick if you want and a few papers or thin notebook with laptop.
Something not mentioned is this clears TSA without removing it from the sleeve. Just put it on the belt and let it go. Make sure nothing but laptop are in the bag. I biner it to the outside of my roller and just flip it flat without even removing the connection. Have travelled a dozen times this way without issue. Put your quart bag in the pouch and it's easy access to take out for the x-ray.
The only con, is the tag lists an XS that would be perfect for a 9" netbook but the smallest I've seen online or store is small.

Comments about REI E-Wrap Computer Sleeve - Medium:
Previous version had hard-points for connecting a shoulder strap making this the perfect "plus one personal item" when traveling by air. Hard-points have been replaced by small, rubberized loops. Neither I nor staff at the REI store could connect a shoulder strap without first adding more hardware (carabeaner). It's otherwise a great design.

Comments about REI E-Wrap Computer Sleeve - Medium:
I bought the medium-sized laptop computer sleeve a few weeks ago to carry my 13-inch Macbook without my main travel bag. This REI product provided an excellent and economical alternative to more pricey items I saw in other stores.
Since my purchase, I have used the sleeve for my daily activities without any problems. I kept the laptop in the sleeve when going through airport security. Removing the machine from the sleeve was easy and without any problem. Just remember to place your laptop in the tray alone; I place the laptop & the sleeve and the same tray and they reminded me of that.
My main observations:
1. You will need to buy an additional strap as the sleeve does not come with one. Any standard bag strap, preferably with a shoulder pad will do.
2. A "standard" strap might not fit the loops on the sleeve very well, but the medium sized "S" hooks available at REI provide an excellent connection. I bought 2 pair of the stainless steel type, although REI also sells a strong plastic "S" hook.
3. The accessories pocket is good, but it could be larger to hold different types of accessories.
4. It would be good to add a luggage loop on the back of the sleeve so the user can attach it to the pull handle on a roller bag when traveling.
5. The velcro fasteners are quite strong and hold fast when carrying the sleeve. I also managed to put another very small accessory pouch in the sleeve along with my laptop; this strained the velcro a bit, but it still held with normal - and limited - carriage.
