Boeing 747 Cockpit Laptop Sleeve

This Boeing 747 cockpit laptop sleeve carries an original cockpit photograph of British Airways G-CIVS, a 747-400, the type nicknamed the “Queen of the Skies”. It is for anyone who likes airliners and wants their laptop to show it on the train, at the gate or on the desk at home.

My laptop goes in and out of bags all the time, and a plain black sleeve is easy to lose track of. This one is easy to spot and does the basic job: it keeps the laptop away from scratches and bumps on the way between home, the car and the office.

What you get

• Shell made from 100% neoprene
• Soft faux fur interior lining
• Top-loading zippered enclosure with two sliders
• Padded zipper binding that keeps the laptop in place
• Resistant to water, oil and heat
• Protects against scratches, bumps and everyday wear
• Weight: 220 g (6.49 oz) for 13 in, 250 g (8.8 oz) for 15 in
• Design: cockpit view of British Airways G-CIVS, Boeing 747-400

Choosing a size

There are two sizes, 13 in and 15 in. The sleeve is meant to fit snugly, so pick the size that matches your laptop’s screen size and don’t go up one for extra room. If the laptop has space to slide around inside, the sleeve does a worse job of protecting it.

If you’d rather have a drone theme, there is also the drone pilot laptop sleeve. To carry the airliner theme onto the wall above your desk, have a look at the In the clouds at 37,000 ft poster. For more ideas on kitting out a workspace, see my drone pilot desk setup guide.

Will it keep my laptop dry in the rain?

The neoprene resists water, so a short walk in the rain or a splash from a drink on the table is fine. Water-resistant is not the same as waterproof, though, so don’t leave it out in a downpour.
