Using this Incase Icon sleeve is a breeze. Just open the magnetic snap, place your 12-inch MacBook inside, and close it up. The sleeve will keep your laptop safe during transportation. When it comes to charging, you can easily reach all the ports without taking your MacBook out. For maintenance, you can gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid getting the sleeve wet as much as possible. If it does get a little dirty, use a mild soap and water solution to clean it, but make sure to dry it thoroughly. Also, don't overstuff the sleeve or put sharp objects inside, as this could damage the interior lining or the laptop itself.
