Usage Instructions
Inserting Your Laptop
- Ensure your laptop is powered off or in sleep mode before inserting it into the sleeve.
- Open the asymmetrical main zipper of the sleeve.
- Gently slide your 14-inch laptop into the main compartment. The neoprene material will stretch to provide a secure, form-fitting hold.
- Close the main zipper completely to secure your laptop.
Using Accessory Pockets
- Power Pocket: Utilize the zippered power pocket to store your laptop's power adapter, charging cables, or other larger accessories.
- USB Drive Pocket: Within the accessory compartment, locate the smaller dedicated pocket for your USB drive. This keeps it separate and protected.
The slim design allows the sleeve to be carried on its own or easily slipped into a backpack, briefcase, or tote bag for added protection during travel.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and protective qualities of your Case Logic PLS-14 laptop sleeve, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: For minor dirt or spills, wipe the exterior neoprene surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the sleeve to air dry completely before reinserting your laptop or storing it. Do not use direct heat sources like hair dryers.
- Storage: Store the sleeve in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Avoid Overstuffing: Do not overfill the sleeve or its pockets, as this can strain the zippers and material, potentially causing damage.
Troubleshooting
- Laptop Does Not Fit: Ensure your laptop's dimensions (length, width, height) are within the specified limits for a 14-inch display (approximately 13.5 x 1.5 x 10.1 inches). The neoprene material offers some stretch, but exceeding these dimensions may prevent proper closure or damage the sleeve.
- Zipper Issues: If a zipper becomes stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or rub a graphite pencil along the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
- Sleeve Odor: New neoprene products may have a slight odor. This typically dissipates with air exposure. Air out the sleeve in a well-ventilated area if needed.
