The Surface Laptop 3 is a stunning notebook that also has a fairly high price tag attached to it, so you're going to want to keep it safe. Grabbing a good case or sleeve for the times you're moving around with your precious laptop will ensure it stays looking excellent and damage-free.
Style and quality
WaterField products are handmade in San Francisco and have a high reputation for quality. The SleeveCase is made primarily from ballistic nylon or waxed canvas with leather accents on the bottom and flap. The neoprene interior won't scratch your laptop, and a flap keeps everything in place. The latest version is tailored for the Surface Laptop 3 and is available in horizontal or vertical designs.
Water resistant
Whether you have to worry about sudden downpours or errant coffee spills, a water-resistant sleeve like this is a great idea to keep your Surface Laptop 3 dry and protected. It also has a shockproof interior, additional pockets big enough for your phone, tablet, or other accessories and a choice of colors to match your personal style.
Budget-friendly
It's tough to beat a 15.6-inch sleeve that costs next to nothing, which is probably why this option from AmazonBasics is so highly rated. Available in five different colors, this is a sleeve without any extra unnecessary bells and whistles. It's a simple neoprene sleeve that's soft enough not to scratch the laptop while having some mild shock resistance should the unthinkable happen.
Ultimate protection
Dropping a laptop on a corner can be especially devastating, which is why Tomtoc came up with this sleeve offering 360 degrees of protection. Each corner has seriously thick padding, and along the bottom, there are even rubber bumpers for added protection. Additional pockets also mean you can transport your accessories and keep them just as safe.
Rough and tough
The Thule Gauntlet 3.0 is available in a selection of colors and is big enough to securely cradle the larger Surface Laptop 3 and keep it safe from everything up to an apocalypse. The outside has a hard shell to protect your device, and the zipper runs around three sides. There's plenty of padding inside, and the Thule name is legendary for toughness, backed up by an incredible warranty.
Classy look
At this price, you won't get genuine leather, but it looks close enough with the bonus of being durable enough to keep your Surface Laptop 3 safe as you carry it around. The interior is a soft suede finish to prevent scratching, and there are pockets large enough for documents or a tablet, as well as a dedicated business cardholder. And it looks fantastic.

Surface Laptop 3 is a laptop that you want to look after, not least because it's a pretty serious financial investment. And when it comes to Surface, Waterfield Designs is still making our favorite sleeve, the SleeveCase, now available for the new, larger Surface Laptop 3.
It's a high-quality product made not only from premium materials that offer protection and durability, but also that offers flexibility. You can get one in a vertical form if you'd rather, and if you're looking for a better way to carry, you can choose to add a D-ring or an entire strap.
Great alternatives if you're looking for something a little more wallet-friendly come from AmazonBasics and Lacdo. Both are simple, yet protective sleeves that will cradle your Surface Laptop 3, in the case of the Lacdo even keeping it dry in an unfortunate situation. And both are fantastically affordable.
