For any laptop users that are regularly on-the-go, one of the best laptop accessories that you can get for yourself is a laptop sleeve. These simple laptop accessories are designed as sleek pouches that can neatly fit a laptop. Additionally, since most laptop sleeves are often made of highly durable materials, they can also help laptop users to minimize the amount of dust and debris that their laptop comes into contact with, and might even also help to protect their laptop against minor knocks and bumps. That said, it’s safe to say that laptop sleeves are a must for people that spend a large portion of their time on-the-go. However, there’s one big IF when it comes to choosing a laptop sleeve, as some brands might actually have a less thoughtful design, which means that some laptop sleeves might be less versatile than others. Nevertheless, if you want a reliable choice of laptop sleeve, then know that you can’t go wrong with the Hormone STERO.
The Hormone STERO is an ultra-durable and extremely versatile laptop sleeve that not only can protect and store your laptop safely, but also doubles as a very sturdy laptop stand for a more comfortable and more ergonomic viewing and working experience.
Now, what’s really special about it is that while many other brands of laptop sleeves currently available for purchasing can take you quite a long time just to take out your laptop, unfolding their built-in stand, and finally placing it at a comfortable angle, the Hormone STERO can do that really, REALLY quick, in just 3 seconds. No more, no less. It’s just that simple.
So, without any further ado, let’s have a more detailed look at the Hormone STERO and see exactly what makes this durable and versatile laptop sleeve so special.
DESIGN, LAPTOP COMPATIBILITY & SPECS
Starting with the laptop’s sleeve sizing, it’s worth noting that this laptop sleeve comes in two different sizing options: there’s a slight smaller option (12.6″ long by 8.34″ wide by 0.23″ thick) that supports 13″ laptops, and there’s also a slightly larger option (14.6″ long by 9.64″ wide by still 0.23″ thick) that can be used for both 15″ as well as 16″ laptops.
As such, we can say that the STERO features a broad compatibility with most laptop brands and laptop models, as you can use it together with most MacBooks (only not applicable to the old 13.5-inch MacBook model – so keep that in mind), as well as with most Ultrabooks, or even with most laptops from other brands that’s either measure 13″ (for the smaller version of the STERO), or even 15″ or 16″ (for the larger version of the STERO).
Now, when it comes to its sleek and ultra-minimalist design, it’s also worth pointing that this 2-in-1 laptop sleeve and stand was actually designed to fit neatly into your laptop’s dimensions in order to hug it tightly, which ultimately makes the STERO fairly more compact than many other laptop sleeves out there.
Thanks to its ultra-slim design, you can easily fit it inside your bag or backpack, making the STERO a perfect laptop accessory for whenever you’re on-the-go.
Moving on the the STERO’s construction. Note that both the inner-side and outer-side of the STERO’s case are all made with Eco-Friendly Vegan PU Leather.
Starting with the surface-side of the STERO, we have some integrated Saffiano Mesh Materials on its outer shell, which were used to help this sleek 2-in-1 laptop sleeve and stand to more easily handle heating. That being said, these mesh materials are actually quite effective in breathing out any potential heat that’s typically generated from the internal components of a laptop.
Then, for the STERO’s inner side, we have a premium and very luxurious Suede PU Leather Material on its inner surface, which not only smooth to your touch, but also guaranteed to keep your laptop completely scratch-free.
Now, for installing your laptop on the Hormone STERO, this laptop sleeve actually integrates a total of six (x6) Adhesive Pads on its inner side that can be used to tightly hold your laptop in place, all while its already sturdy frame provides you with the most stable working environment, anywhere and at any time.
In fact, the Adhesive Pads integrated on the STERO’s inner said are so sticky that no matter how hard you shake the STERO, your laptop simply won’t fall out of it. You can trust us on that. This is a great, great feature to have on a laptop sleeve for those “somewhat clumsier” laptop users, as it obviously helps to avoid any “whoopsies” and “laptop-drop disasters”.
Speaking of its frame, the STERO also features an extremely solid frame that’s used to ultimately make it possible to convert this laptop sleeve to laptop stand. This frame is of made of a mix of PC (polycarbonate) and high-quality Formax Plastic materials.
Thanks to that, this 2-in-1 laptop sleeve and stand can ultimately support up to 33 lbs. of weight, and as such, you can be guaranteed that you can even use it with some heavier laptop models (just not anything heavier than 33 lbs., of course).
In fact, the STERO’s built-in Stand is actually incredibly stable for work-related laptop tasks such as typing, and this even includes typing for long periods of time.
Last but not least, at the outer side of the STERO, we also have a built-in Magnetic Flap that keeps your laptop nice and secure when closing / folding up this laptop sleeve.
FUNCTIONALITY / HOW TO USE?
Now, when it comes to the STERO’s actual functionality, there really isn’t another laptop sleeve to date that currently beats its laptop sleeve to laptop stand conversion process.
That’s because, just as we mentioned before, this ultra-versatile 2-in-1 laptop sleeve can very quickly and very easily be opened and then folded to a dedicated laptop stand in just one motion, and the whole process only takes you 3 seconds to do so.
Best of all, since the Hormone STERO’s Laptop Stand functionality can be set at a nice 25-degree angle (at an elevation of 11cm, based on 15-16 inches), there’s absolutely no need to ever bend your neck while working on your laptop with this awesome laptop sleeve.
This 25-degree angle from the STERO’s laptop stand placement naturally induces the correct posture that anyone should have while working on a laptop and also helps to guard your neck and shoulder as well as maintain your lower back at a proper and healthy position.
All of that not only helps to always keep a healthy posture, but ultimately also helps you to maintain maximum productivity and focus.
