Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If necessary, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Sleeve feels too tight for the MacBook

Confirm you have the correct MacBook model for this sleeve (16" MacBook Pro or 15" MacBook Air). Ensure no accessories are attached to the laptop that might be hindering a smooth fit.

Exterior shows minor scuffs

Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, a slightly damp cloth may be used, followed by drying.
