Best Dell XPS 13 sleeves 2022
Protect your premium Ultrabook with one of these sleeves.
Your shiny new XPS 13 deserves to stay shiny and new — but you don't need a full-size bag to protect it. Take a look at our list of the best sleeves that fit new and old XPS 13 models to help you decide the best way to protect your laptop.
Premium style
Dell's Premier sleeve 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.
Great protection
Tomtoc's 360-degree protective sleeve has a polyester finish that is water resistant, thick padding around the entire edge, and the corners have extra padding in case of drops. 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.
Budget choice
If zippered sleeves are your preference, but you don't want to spend too much money, the AmazonBasics 13.3-inch sleeve 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.
Thick padding
If you'd like something with a unique look and some thick padding, this Evecase sleeve is a 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.
Professional carry
Even though this looks like a laptop bag, it's actually just a sleeve with a strap, which makes it perfect for the professional users who need a safe way to carry without extra bulk. This Dell sleeve is also water resistant to protect against the elements and has a dedicated organiser pocker for your other assorted everyday carry items.

Keeping the XPS 13 safe is the primary objective, and for that, you want soft and ideally zipper free. Magnets are always preferable, not only because they're less potentially damaging but also for quicker, easier access. And when combined with a super-soft sleeve, your expensive XPS 13 will always be in good hands.
But it's hard to ignore Dell's elegant and straightforward Premier Sleeve. It's pricier than some of the others, but super soft inside and magnetic so it'll protect from bumps and scratches. It's a quality product, though, as you'd expect from an official Dell product, but if you'd like something a little less rich, Dell's Professional Sleeve is a worthy alternative.
