In short: padded laptop bag with full padding, two handles, a removable shoulder strap and a zipped front pocket. Zip running round three sides. Six sizes, 10 to 17 inches. Black, with the Esprit Boxe mark and the FOR THE GLORY line in white on the front. €29, free standard shipping.
It carries by hand on its two handles or on the shoulder on its removable strap, and the front pocket takes charger, mouse and cables: a bag that stands on its own, with no need to slide it into something else. The Esprit Boxe mark and its FOR THE GLORY line sit on the front pocket in white, across roughly a third of its width.
The three sided zip is not a detail
The zip runs round three sides of the bag. In practice it opens flat like a book: you lay the machine in rather than sliding it into a sleeve. The corners of the laptop touch nothing during the operation, going in or coming out.
Getting the size right
Inches on a laptop bag refer to the screen diagonal, not to the outside dimensions of the machine. That is mistake number one: two 15 inch laptops from different makers can have chassis several centimetres apart depending on bezel thickness.
The reliable method: take the real width and depth of your machine with the lid closed, rather than trusting the marketing figure. Between two sizes, take the larger: a laptop with a little room to spare is still protected by the padding, whereas one forced into a tight bag presses on the screen as you close it.

Good to know before ordering
A padded bag is not a hard case. The padding absorbs everyday knocks — a bag set down a little quickly, contact with a table corner. For hold luggage or a building site, a hard case is the format.
The front pocket is sized for the essentials. It takes a charger, a mouse and a few cables, and keeps the bag flat when you slide it under other things.
Guide the slider round the corners. The zip runs round three sides: easing it with a finger through the turns is what keeps the closure smooth and the laptop shell untouched.
Care
A slightly damp cloth with a little mild soap on marks. Avoid the washing machine, which distorts the padding and can warp the bag for good. Dry flat, in open air, never next to a radiator. A dry cloth on the mark keeps it crisp.
FAQ
How do I pick the right size?
Inches refer to the screen diagonal, not the chassis. Two 15 inch machines from different makers can differ by several centimetres depending on bezel thickness. Measure the real width and depth of your laptop, and take the larger size if you are between two.
Is there a shoulder strap?
Yes, a removable shoulder strap on top of the two handles. That is what sets this bag apart from a plain sleeve: it carries on its own, with no need to slide it into another bag.
Can I fit the charger in it?
Yes, in the zipped front pocket, along with a mouse and a few cables. That is what it is calibrated for: filled that way, the bag keeps its flat profile and slides under other things.
Why a zip on three sides?
Because it lets the bag open flat like a book: you lay the machine in rather than sliding it. The corners of the laptop touch nothing, going in or coming out.
Is the protection enough for daily carry?
The full padding absorbs everyday knocks: a bag set down quickly, contact with a table corner, carrying inside a backpack. It is not a hard case, so for an aircraft hold or a building site a rigid case is the format.
Are there other designs?
Our McGregor laptop sleeve carries the crowned fighter illustration in gold on black, in 10, 12, 13, 15 and 17 inch at the same price. It is a sleeve to slide into a bag, where this one carries on its own.
