Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve | MacBook Pro 13-inch | Neoprene with 4mm Padding | Zippered Front Pocket | Dark Blue Black Pink
Italian-designed laptop cover that hugs your notebook snugly, weighs about 90 grams, and slips into any backpack or tote.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve for the MacBook Pro 13-inch is in stock at Mascom International for KSh 1,700, brand new and sealed in Dark Blue, Black and Pink. Tucano, the Italian bag maker based in Milan, cut this sleeve from 4mm neoprene and added a zippered front pocket for small extras. The Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve weighs about 90 grams, so it adds almost nothing to your bag. You can see all three colours at our store in Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. Bring your own MacBook and slide it in before paying.
Built for MacBook owners who already carry a backpack or tote but want a protective layer inside it. Loose keys, chargers and pens scratch aluminium lids quickly. A crowded matatu ride from Rongai or Kitengela also presses bags hard against seat frames. The Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve wraps the laptop in cushioned neoprene, so those knocks land on foam rather than metal. University students, lawyers heading into court, accountants and consultants moving between client offices get a slim cover. Between rooms, it also works as a grab-and-go folio you carry under one arm.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops offer unbranded sleeves with loose stitching and guessed sizing, Mascom International stocks the genuine Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve. It is shaped around the 13-inch MacBook Pro footprint, and flatlock stitching keeps every seam flat against the fabric. Customers across Nairobi tell us a snug sleeve matters more than thick padding, because a loose one lets the laptop slide and bump inside. The Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve avoids that problem. Order on WhatsApp for same-day delivery in Nairobi, or pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve
Will the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve fit my MacBook Pro 13-inch?
Yes, the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve is cut for the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, including the Intel, M1 and M2 versions. Its interior measures roughly 31.5 by 21.8 cm with 1.8 cm of depth. That holds the laptop snugly without forcing the zip. Owners of the 14-inch MacBook Pro need a larger size, because that body is wider. If you carry a 13-inch MacBook Air or a Windows ultrabook, bring it to Mascom International on Kimathi Street and test the fit first.
How much protection does the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve give my laptop?
The Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve protects against scratches, scuffs and everyday bumps through 4mm of neoprene on every side. That layer absorbs knocks from a bag hitting a door frame or a desk edge. It also stops keys and pens from marking the lid inside your backpack. It is not a rugged case, so a fall onto concrete from standing height can still dent the corners. Treat it as a cushioned skin that keeps the aluminium clean and resale-ready.
Is the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve worth KSh 1,700 in Kenya?
Yes, because KSh 1,700 costs far less than a single MacBook lid or screen repair in Nairobi. Spread over a year of daily use, the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve works out to under KSh 5 a day. Scratch-free aluminium also holds resale value better when you later trade up, which matters in Kenya's busy second-hand MacBook market. You get a branded Italian product with a defined fit, not a generic sleeve picked from a size chart. Mascom International backs it with a written warranty.
Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve or a hard-shell snap-on case, which is better?
Choose the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve for protection while travelling, and a hard-shell snap-on case for cover while you work. A clip-on shell stays on the MacBook all day, adding weight on your lap and covering the base vents area. The sleeve comes off the moment you sit down, so the laptop keeps its original feel and finish. Some buyers pair both: a thin shell against scratches at the desk, and the sleeve for the commute. Mascom International can advise on either option in store.
How does the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve cope with Nairobi rain and dust?
The Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve sheds light splashes and keeps fine dust off your MacBook on dusty walks along Thika Road. Neoprene is the same rubbery material used in wetsuits, so a short dash through an evening shower usually leaves the laptop dry inside. It is not waterproof, though, and the zip can let water through in a heavy downpour. During the long rains, keep the sleeve inside a backpack for full cover. Road dust wipes off the surface with a damp cloth.
What fits in the front pocket of the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve?
The zippered front pocket on the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve holds slim items such as a USB-C cable, a flash drive or earphones. It stops those small pieces from rattling loose at the bottom of your bag. A bulky power brick will stretch the neoprene and press against the screen, so carry the charger in a separate bag compartment. Consultants moving between Westlands and Upper Hill find the pocket handy for a USB-C hub needed for boardroom projectors. Business cards fit there too.
Which colour of the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve should I choose?
For the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve, Black hides dust and scuffs best, making it the safest pick for daily commuting. Dark Blue suits professionals who want something less plain without looking loud in a boardroom. Pink stands out on a crowded library table, so students at the University of Nairobi or Kenyatta University spot their own sleeve fast. All three colours share the same 4mm neoprene, pocket and fit. The choice is purely about looks, and Mascom International keeps each colour on display.
Who should buy the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve, and who should skip it?
Buy the Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve if you own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and already carry a bag you like. It suits students, lawyers, accountants and anyone moving a laptop between home, office and client sites. Skip it if you want one bag that carries the laptop, charger and documents together, because the sleeve has no handle or strap. A padded laptop backpack from Mascom International fits that need better. Owners of 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro models should ask for a larger Tucano size.
Technical Specifications
Protective Core Function
- 4mm neoprene padding on both faces — absorbs bumps from desk edges, door frames and crowded bus seats on the commute.
- Neoprene wraps all four edges — the corners, where most laptop dents begin, sit inside the cushioned layer at all times.
- Soft inner lining surface — the aluminium lid and base stay free of fine scratches from sliding the laptop in and out.
- Anti-slip elastic net system — holds the MacBook in place so it does not slide out when the sleeve is tilted.
- Full zip closure — seals the opening, keeping dust, crumbs and loose keys outside the sleeve while it rides in a bag.
Compatibility and Fit
- Cut for the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar — matches the body Tucano designed it around, so the fit stays snug.
- Interior about 31.5 x 21.8 x 1.8 cm — enough room to slide the laptop in without straining the zip or the seams.
- Exterior about 32 x 23.1 x 2 cm — slots easily into the laptop compartment of standard backpacks, totes and briefcases.
- Not sized for 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro models — those wider bodies need a larger sleeve from the Tucano range.
- Other 13-inch laptops may fit — bring yours to Kimathi Street and test it in store before paying to avoid surprises.
- Tucano part code family BFTMB13 — the base code for this sleeve, with a short colour suffix added for each finish.
Build Quality and Materials
- Neoprene exterior and interior — a flexible, rubbery fabric that shrugs off light splashes and springs back after pressure.
- Flatlock stitching — seams lie flat against the fabric, so no raised ridges press into the MacBook lid during transit.
- Weight about 90 grams — lighter than most smartphones, so your backpack barely feels any heavier with the sleeve inside.
- Italian design from Tucano in Milan — the brand shapes its sleeves around specific device footprints rather than generic sizes.
- Stretch-friendly fabric — neoprene gives slightly under pressure, letting the zip close cleanly over the laptop every time.
Storage Pocket and Daily Carry
- Zippered front pocket — holds a USB-C cable, flash drive or earphones without crowding the main laptop compartment at all.
- Pocket sits on the outer face — reach small items without opening the main zip or pulling the MacBook out first.
- Slim 2 cm profile — the sleeve doubles as a folio you carry under one arm between meeting rooms and lecture halls.
- No handle or shoulder strap — designed to ride inside a bag, so it adds protection without adding another thing to carry.
- Keep bulky chargers elsewhere — a power brick in the pocket would press against the screen through the soft neoprene.
Colour Options and Finish
- Dark Blue — a muted professional tone that suits banks, law chambers and client meetings without looking plain or loud.
- Black — hides dust and scuffs best, the low-maintenance choice for daily commuting on busy Nairobi roads and buses.
- Pink — a bright finish that makes your sleeve easy to identify on shared desks and in crowded lecture halls.
- Identical construction across colours — every finish shares the same neoprene, padding, front pocket and MacBook fit.
- Matte neoprene surface — fingerprints, light marks and road dust wipe away quickly with a slightly damp cloth.
Inclusions and Readiness
- One Tucano Second Skin Top Sleeve in your chosen colour — sealed in retail packaging and opened first by you.
- No laptop, charger or cable — the sleeve is a protective accessory sold on its own at KSh 1,700.
- Tucano branding on the product — confirms an original Italian-designed sleeve rather than an unbranded street copy.
- Ready to use out of the box — no inserts, straps or assembly to sort out before your first commute.
- Mascom International receipt — your proof of purchase for any manufacturing-defect claim under the warranty below.
