I just received the vero sleeve this week and it’s very nice. Much thicker than you’d think from the promo pics. Instead of a lined leather sleeve it’s really a pretty well padded case.
I have their bolt briefcase arriving today. Always eyed their products but never bought anything until this month.
No long term use yet, but their sales and support was stellar.
Skip the bridge dock unless you anticipate keeping your computer for a LONG LONG time.
I got one for my Retina MBP and it was awesome after some of the kinks were ironed out (mainly it's display port cable was crap and didn't trigger the MBP to operate in clamshell mode. Sending it to a dock first then out to the monitor helped.)
But once I purchased the Touch Bar version MBP the dock was a dead weight. Not only would it of course not work with the TBMBP it was hard to sell even as a combined set with the Retina.
A great product, but hard to get rid of once it becomes obsolete.
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
