Best laptop sleeves for Dell XPS 13

Protect your investment without adding bulk, using these laptop sleeves for your Dell XPS 13.

You've purchased an XPS 13 and would like to protect it, but you're not sure you want a full-size bag. Take a look at our list of the best sleeves to help you decide how to protect your laptop.

Update 29 December 2016: We've updated this list to ensure all sleeves fit the most recent XPS 13 9360 with Kaby Lake processors.

Ceocase XPS 13 sleeve

Ceocase's XPS 13 sleeve is a very slim option to help protect your laptop from scratches and minimal wear. This sleeve is a tight fit but is necessary since there is no flap or zipper to hold your laptop in place. The sleeve does loosen a bit after time but not enough that your XPS 13 will be falling out. Note that the leather is not genuine, but at this price point real leather can't be expected.

Pick up this sleeve today if you're looking for something slim, stylish, and no-nonsense. It starts at about $12.

Dell is about to reveal an XPS 13 (9365) convertible laptop at CES with Infinity Edge display

In my recent review of the Dell XPS 13 (9360) I complimented the excellent built quality and design but lamented the lack of innovation. HP's Spectre x360 seemed to outpace it including two-in-one tablet functionality.

All of that is about to change this week when Dell reveals the XPS 13 (9365) a "two in one laptop" that addresses at least one of my big complaints. An image of the new device and its URL were spotted on Dell's website.

Everything you need to know about Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

20 years ago, Capcom unleashed a terrifying franchise upon the world. 2017 sees its return in a more photorealistic and terrifying way than ever.

Resident Evil is Capcom's most successful franchise, with the main series plot involving many different characters and their roles in the zombie outbreaks, and later, other monsters and biological weapons. Resident Evil was the game that gave the genre survival horror its name. It's a pretty big deal. And now it's coming to the Xbox One.

This is the 27th Resident Evil release and the franchise has taken many twists and turns in terms of style over the years. We've seen light guns, on-rails shooters (RE: The Darkside Chronicles), zombies that aren't zombies (I'm looking at you here, RE4) and we've seen huge, squishy animated biohazardous waste material with teeth for a face (RE: Revelations). The 'main' releases, such as Resident Evil 1-6, also changed with the times, going from true survival horror to an action shooter. With such a dynamic and diverse history, what can we expect from Resident Evil 7?
