will this sleeve fit easily into a standard leather briefcase for transport, or is it too thick ?

Since it comes apart it should, note the should, fit easily into a standard briefcase

It fits easily in my briefcase but it almost doubles the thickness of the Mac.

My MacAir fits fine in my sleeve (I have a Marc Jacobs sleeve). It does add just a bit more weight and its a tad bulkier, but it definitely still fits perfectly.

No it wouldn't fit in the outer sleeve. I carry my 15.6 laptop insidebag but i am cautious because it can be easily be open Because the bag is closed by zippers and a velcro line.

My (current) laptop is a Dell Latitude that comes in right at 1.5 inches thick. It's a snug fit but there is plenty of give in the padding. I'm able to get both the laptop and my ipad (with leather foldover cover) in the laptop area with no problems. It's snug, but then you want it to be snug.

The initial stretch to put the MacBook in is tight. But the sleeve should have enough elasticity to fit both the MacBook and its hard shell case in it.

Yes. It fits well, and was supposed to be corrected as the original does not close tight. But when contained in a briefcase, it doesn't matter.

It is slightly over 1" thick. It is possible to carry it in a pocket of either a jacket or a looser fitting pants and not be obvious.

depends ... not small is big .. if you have your briefcase is easy to carry .. but is a bit tricky!

I agree - this padfolio (which, btw, is holding up great under normal use - my husband is still enjoying using it) easily holds a letter-sized legal pad that's about 1/4-1/2 inch thick - I think 1 inch would be too thick.

It should. It fit in my wallet just fine with the sleeve on. This was in the credit card slot too!

It should be as it's hardly noticeable. Bottom does have 2 folding feet that are only slight protrusions. Should fit if sleeve has any expansion at all.

It would be tight, and there is no padding to the bag itself. The insert that comes with it protects the camera and lenses, but makes no provision to protect a laptop, so you would have to put the laptop in a padded sleever before placing in the bag.

Yes. No problem. I have mine in a thick Body Glove case and it fits perfectly.

yes. don't over muscle it. Also depends on the leather. super thick and many layers of course not.

This of course is a rough estimate but going by just 2 dimensional measurements (thickness was hard to measure but my computer is 3/4 inch with extra room) so I measured seam to seam to get an idea. an empty pocket with the hard flap down. measures 11" from seam to seam and from top to bottom is 14") how ever there is a Velcro strap that holds the computer snug with an additional 2.5-3.0" above the pocket. but from seam to seem it appears it will fit, thickness will fit, most likely and from top to bottom it will fit with the assistance of the Velcro strap. My laptop is so thin the strap is really to loose and the extra thickness and length may actually make a better fit. Just remember dimensions will change with your computer being a slightly different size and there is the curve of the zipper for the pocket but I think I just gave a measurement before the curve would affect your laptop size. So to sum up in theory it will fit and it will depend on how snug is to much snug. The laptop pocket is actually in the large cargo pocket so there maybe some extra "fudge" room in that respect. I use it all the time. I normally carry my Bible and 1" binder in large cargo area, laptop cables in easy access pocket, external phone chargers, phone cables and wall rechargers, sometimes external Hard drive or external DVD drive +who knows what else. The document pouch is very handy to keep important papers all together and to be protected from other stuff in there. I could go on but, lets just say I rate this as a 5 star bag. The only con I have about this bag I have it that Swiss gear does not have a way to keep the bottom of the bag closer to your body, after you add another 10-15 lbs to the bag it gets heavy. Yes it is good enough for you to want to add that much weight to carry around.

No idea. I have an Air and, as the name suggests, it's a pretty snug fit..have a hard time imagining a thicker laptop fitting inside the sleeve..

That's difficult to answer besides trying it out. The sleeve is not rigid so as long as the case doesn't add too much bulkiness you should be able to squeeze the laptop in to the corresponding size sleeve.
