What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The laptop size claims differ: one feature says a 16-inch MacBook, while manufacturer details specify a 15.6-inch PC or 15-inch MacBook. Check your device dimensions and the selected listing before buying. The listed dimensions also differ from the separate manufacturer specification of 12.0" x 8.5" x 19.5", and the model identifiers vary between 3204981 and TCHB215. The stated water resistance applies to the front panel and base, not a confirmed waterproof rating for the whole bag.
