Choosing by what it is made of
For some accessories, the material matters as much as the shape. It decides how a sleeve feels and how well it cushions, how heavy a bag is, whether a stand is rigid enough to type on, and how something looks beside your laptop. These four pages sort the shop by material, so you can see every aluminium stand and hub together, or every felt and fabric sleeve and bag, without looking through each department.
How a product gets onto a material page
Products are filed by their own words. A product whose name or short description names the material is on that material's page. Most are made mainly of it. A few are there because one part is: a stand with silicone pads, a brush with nylon bristles, a cable with a braided nylon cover. The product description says which part, and every product stays in its own department too.
The material pages
- Aluminium: laptop stands most of all, foldable, adjustable and vertical, then cooling stands, drive enclosures, hubs and USB-C adapters with aluminium cases.
- Leather: sleeves, briefcases and a messenger bag. Most are PU leather, a leather-look finish, and a few briefcases say they are genuine leather.
- Felt and fabric: sleeves in felt, neoprene and polyester, backpacks, messenger and tote bags in nylon, canvas and oxford cloth, and a felt desk mat.
- Silicone: keyboard covers most of all, port dust plugs and wrist rests.
Which material for which job
For a stand, aluminium is the usual choice: light, strong and rust-free, so a stand can fold thin and still hold the laptop steady. For a sleeve, it depends how the bag is treated. Felt and leather-look sleeves suit a bag that is handled gently; foam, EVA and neoprene suit one that gets thrown about. Silicone is for the things that need to bend and wash: covers over keys and stoppers in ports.
Questions people ask about shopping by material
Is everything on the leather page real leather?
No. Most of it is PU leather, a polyurethane finish made to look like leather. The few genuine leather briefcases say so in their own description.
Can I filter by material and size at once?
Open the material page and look at each product's size choices, or start from the shop by screen size pages and check the material in the description.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery is included in every price and tracked to your door. Each product page says when it usually arrives.
