How well do you think this would protect a 13 in MacBook Air if this were in a teenagers heavy school backpack w/ other Books?

It would protect the computer, but the computer would still slide around WITHIN the case. So, if you're comfortable with the inside of the case, it would. However, there are better options that will keep it safer and more snug.

I have a new Apple 13.3 MacBook PRO (latest version) with a black soft cover on it - and my Drive Logic carrying case fits on it fine.- No problemo - safe and secure for me......

I have the same laptop and would NOT trust it to be safe! I love this case for my laptop but it's a softer sided case rather than a true hard case... Has spongy bumps inside to protect it!

I bought it for mac book pro 13.3 inch and it fits very neatly. It is not a tight fit' I am satisfied with the fit. Not sure about the air. Sorry

I would like to know the same. Another customer said it couldn't fit his 13" Mackbook Air, so now I'm hesitant.

This backpack will fit up to 15" notebooks, maybe even a little bigger. There is a compartment in the back part, consisting of some nylon fabric, not just straps.There is not much padding though, just a sheet of polypropylene inside the back I guess.The back itself has some padding for comfort, but this is not the most protective laptop bag Pelican offers, that's for sure.That said: I put my MacBook Air 13" in there during travel and I have had no issues. But then I do city-tours, not outback-hiking.

I purchased my Mac book Air this April. It is a 13 inch. Yes, it fits fine. I thought about purchasing a sleeve as well but the hard shell is sufficient.

I'm not sure what you are looking to put in but you could probably fit some papers in, external drive (small one), things like that. I wouldn't overload the bag as it is not meant for heavy duty, it's mainly meant for the laptop and it's a stylish look while carrying your device. It fits my MacBook Air perfectly (13") and I only carry my power cord, hotpot and the power cord to that. Maybe some papers on the inside and thats about it.

I have the 13" Mac Air, when it arrived in the mail I had a rubberized shell on my Mac already. I tried to fit it with the shell still on and it did not go into the straps easily. It also has too much pressure on the seal for the screen to dim when I would try to shut it. But if I took it out of the two straps (located in the top two corners of the screen) then I could easily use it as a sleeve. So I guess it depends how thin the shell is and if it is rubberized but to have 2 cases on a Mac Air is hard to do because of how precise the closing mechanisms are designed.

I have a cover on my macbook and I put it in this case when it is in my backpack. No issues whatsoever thus far. I really do like this case. It is pretty thick. My husband has a puffy targus case for his Sony vaio and that one has a bit thicker padding than this one, but I am still satisfied with it.

I have a macbook pro and it is not snug, so it would be even worse with the air. If you are okay with it not being a tight fit I would recommend the case.

A 13" laptop would fit, but I would put it in a protective sleeve as it would be up against the tools in one of the two compartments. The other option is to have it in a sleeve on the back where the lead is shown in the photo

If properly secured in bag and zipped up its a high probability your Mac will be protected. My opinion only but it's a darn solid bag

I LOVE mine!!!! Fits PERFECT but I don't have an Airbook. I just have a MacPro 13. Not sure if there's a huge difference. I'm assuming the Air is a lot thinner.

A small laptop will like 11 or 13 inch MacBook Air with a cover on it. Not much will fit in with it. There is no padding.

I bought this bag for my 15in macbook pro. So your 13 will fit well. The bag has plenty of space for book and notebooks. I believe there may be a 13in version of this back somewhere but you will not have the same amount of storage space. So i recommend this one. It is built very well and while having plenty of space isn't a huge bag. I would say its the perfect size.

I have the mac book air. There are straps to secure the laptop. This product is not bulky. It does protect my mac book. I am going to order another for my husband's laptop also. GREAT PRODUCT!!!

This thing is pretty giant to be hauling it around everywhere. I got it for air travel and use it infrequently. It will definitely protect your mac, but it would be a bit ridiculous to be lugging it around campus.

I bought this for my fiancée who primarily keeps his iPad in it. I put my 15.4" Hp laptop in to get an idea to answer your question. It fit snugly in the bag with a couple folders also in it. If you plan to only carry your laptop, I think you're fine. But if you planned to carry books and/or a large amount of paperwork in addition to the MacBook, I wouldn't recommend it for that use.
