Razer has announced an expensive new laptop sleeve that’s not made from an exotic animal or encrusted in diamonds. What potentially justifies paying $129.99 for Razer’s Laptop Sleeve 16” are the pair of wireless charging pads integrated into its cover flap. While you’re out and about, it can protect a laptop up to 16 inches in size, and when you find a remote spot to sit down and work, you can also plonk down and charge your phone and earbuds.
The padded sleeve has a plush microfiber lining and reinforced edges to help absorb some of the shock of an accidental drop, but it’s thin enough to stick underneath your laptop to protect its underside from scratches. That’s its primary use case as opening the sleeve’s flap positions a Qi2 charging pad next to your computer that can wirelessly power a smartphone at up to 15W rates, and an accessory like wireless earbuds at up to 5W.
The sleeve comes with a USB-C cable so you can power the wireless charging pad from your computer, but not all laptops may provide enough power through their USB ports for two devices to wirelessly charge on the pad at full speed.
