Tomtoc 360 protective sleeve
Tomtoc's 360-degree protective sleeve (about $20) has a 4.7-star rating with more than 2,500 ratings on Amazon. It has a polyester finish that is water resistant, there is thick padding around the entire edge, plus the corners have extra padding in case you drop it.
The front has a zippered pocket that can handle a charger and some other accessories, and the main pocket, lined with a foam cushion, is also zippered to keep everything in place. Choose from gray, pink, black or blue colors that can work well in professional or casual environments.
AmazonBasics felt sleeve
AmazonBasics products are generally high quality for low prices, and the felt sleeve (about $11) is no exception. Its main compartment is lined with suede to keep your XPS 13 from getting scratched, and two pockets on the back are made to hold some accessories.
The front flap has Velcro on the underside to keep it closed, and the charcoal or light grey felt is accentuated by a leather patch. This sleeve has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon with more than 970 reviews. Grab it if you love the look of felt and don't want to spend much.
Dell Premier
Made of leather, Dell's Premier sleeve (about $30) is a slim, lightweight option for your XPS 13. There is some cushioning for your laptop in the form of a soft inner lining, and the black exterior — fashionably stitched with red thread — offers some protection against the elements.
Slide your XPS 13 into the sleeve and close the magnetized flap to secure everything in place. Then you can forget worrying about scratches from zippers. If you're looking for a lightweight sleeve, pick up the Dell Premier.
Dell sleeve
Dell's XPS 13 sleeve (about $24) is a zippered, padded unit that can carry a charger or other cords in its quick-access pocket. Its water-resistant nylon is black in color and is well-stitched, giving you a product that won't quickly break down.
A soft-lined interior protects against dirt and scratches, and a non-slip bottom helps stop it from sliding around on glossy surfaces. If you'd like a sleeve that comes with room for your other everyday tech items, check out the Dell sleeve.
AmazonBasics 13.3-inch laptop sleeve
If zippered sleeves are your preference but you don't want to spend too much money, the AmazonBasics 13.3-inch sleeve (about $10.50 ) should be near the top of your list. Your XPS 13 will fit snugly inside the padded compartment that can be carried on its own or within a larger bag.
Available in five colors, this sleeve has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon with nearly 10,000 reviews. Check it out if all you want is a low-cost, zippered solution.
Guaiboshi fashion
This sleeve from Guaiboshi (about $15) has a bit of a fashionable flair for anyone in a professional environment. The bottom of the sleeve has a strip of leather embossed with the Guaiboshi name, while the rest is a cotton blend that resists water. Inside is a microfiber lining that protects your XPS from scratches, and a large pocket on the outside can hold your medium-sized peripherals.
This sleeve has a five-star rating on Amazon, with most customers surprised at the quality production available for this price.
Evecase neoprene pouch
If you'd like something with a unique look and some thick padding, this Evecase sleeve (about $13) is a relatively low-cost option with a diamond-pattern water-resistant exterior.
The main compartment is zippered and the inside has a soft finish that won't scratch your XPS 13. Grab it in either black or purple to fit your style, and know that it currently sits at a 4.4-star rating on Amazon with more than 300 reviews.
HYZUO suede sleeve
For some, a horizontal sleeve just won't do. If you'd rather have a sleeve in a vertical configuration, this artificial suede option from HYZUO (about $22) is available in dark gray, light gray, and pink.
Instead of a zipper, the large flap has a magnet to keep it closed, also reducing the chance that your laptop's chassis will get a nasty scratch (zippers are notorious). The main sleeve comes with a matching accessory pouch, and you'll have issues slipping both into a larger bag when it comes time to relocate.
