They were also kind enough to host a giveaway to one lucky reader for a chance to win $50 gift certificate! Thank you outfityours!

my order came just in 3 days after ordering, opening the box I was surprised to see this, a dollar bill?

I really like this quote and that they give you iKlear with your order since I love this stuff to clean my screen :)

What I think?

I was looking for a nice bag for my laptop that was nicely padded and also had a nice storage space for my charger, headphones, external, and few others things. This case is nicely padded, made with quality and has nice compartment space to put all extra items in, its perfect for what I need. After carrying my case around on my shoulder I was happy that the strap had a nice adjustable padding cause even with an air it did get heavy after a while so the padding  was a nice addition. As expected from Incase this sleeve is made very well and also stylish I only wish that more gadget companies would make more items designed for us girls but I guess this color red its some what girly.

Overall:

★★★★★ 5/5

Pros:
Made with quality
nice compartment space
nicely padded
stylish
padded adjustable strap


Con:
not many designs for us girls
