Chosen as Sean O’Hagan’s Best Books of The Year 2015

Looking For Alice is an award-winning project by British photographer Siân Davey, which tells the story of her daughter Alice and their family. Alice was born with Down’s Syndrome, but is no different to any other little girl or indeed human being. She feels what we all feel. Their family is also like many other families, and Si ân’s portraits of Alice and their daily life are both intimate and familiar. “My family is a microcosm for the dynamics occurring in many other families. Previously as a psychotherapist I have listened to many stories and it is interesting that what has been revealed to me, after fifteen years of practice, is not how different we are to one another, but rather how alike we are as people. It is what we share that is significant. The stories vary but we all experience similar emotions.”

However despite the normality, the underlying fact is that society does not acknowledge Alice as such, and her very existence was given little or no value. She entered a world where routine genetic screening at twelve weeks gestation is thrust towards birth prevention rather than birth preparation. Indeed, prior to the introduction of screening, children such as Alice would have been severely marginalised and ultimately institutionalised and given little or limited medical care.

Their journey as mother and daughter was not an instantly smooth and happy one either: “I was deeply shocked when Alice was born as an ‘imperfect’ baby. I was fraught with anxiety that rippled through to every aspect of my relationship with her. My anxieties penetrated my dreams. On reflection I saw that Alice was feeling my rejection of her and that caused me further pain. I saw that the responsibility lay with me; I had to dig deep into my own prejudices and shine a light on them. The result was that as my fear dissolved I fell in love with my daughter. We all did.”

Sturdy, high quality, and protective
Color: Green, Size: 15-inch for New MacBook Air
This is my third TomToc laptop sleeve. Each time, I bought another, less expensive brand first and returned it. TomToc offers the best protection in a soft-shell sleeve. Immediately when you open it, you feel the higher quality material and density. It’s not heavy, but it is thick padded and doesn’t easily bend with pressure. The zipper is built to last, sturdy, and easy to operate without that chintzy feeling from cheap zippers. If you pay attention to the construction, you quickly see why it’s about double in price. There is an inner pad to protect the laptop from not just drops and shock, but also from the zipper. The corners are reinforced and add extra protection. It is definitely worth double the price.

A sold, attractive, case.
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 13-inch for New MacBook Air & Pro
This case looks great, has a nice, lively color scheme, and seems to be reasonably protective and sturdy. I wouldn’t toss a laptop around with only this as protection, but I feel fairly confident in it for small drops. The fabric is easy to clean and has held up well. You can charge without taking it out of the case thanks to a zipper, and it doesn’t add much bulk, making it quite portable. All in all a good balance of protection, cost, and style.

I would rescue it from a fire even if it were empty. I'm kidding but I do like this sleeve a lot.
Color: Orange, Size: 13-inch for New MacBook Air & Pro
Fits perfectly. Superb padding. The corner padding inspires confidence-not that I want to test it! The orange color is-chef's kiss-beautiful. A perfect contrast to the midnight color of my MacBook. I could gush about that stuff all day. But you all want to know about the other stuff. Zippers: Two YKK no snag bi-directional closers for the main opening and a solo no snag YKK for the side pocket. Outside: Feels like tactical nylon type fabric. I haven't and won't intentionally test its stain resistance. But I suspect it would clean up just fine. Interior: A very soft microfiber like interior covering an odor free padding that is firm yet forgiving. There is a recess you push your laptop into making for a snug fit that, like I wrote earlier, inspires confidence. This sleeve is larger than some competing brands but seeing the recess in person explains why. Having touched on the size of this sleeve, it maintains the svelteness of my MacBook Air. Yes, it is thicker than some other sleeves, by a smidge. However the additional protection suggested but that smidge, that minute extra ish is worth it to me. The sleeve fits in my travel backpack, so that's all good. Lastly, I would consider putting a tablet or phone in the sidepocket but not anything that would concentrate the any energy that dissipates during a fall. Had I designed this product I wouldn't have included the side pocket. It's great for documents and thin things but the sell page suggests chargers. That seems like inviting risk. You do you.

Better Lips, Better Fit, Less Nonsense
Color: Black, Size: 13-inch for New MacBook Air & Pro
I tested this sleeve with a 13.6” MacBook Air (M4), and the difference is immediately noticeable. First thing: fit. This one actually holds the laptop in place. The padded “lips” in the corners create just enough resistance that you have to guide the MacBook in and out. It’s not a loose drop-in like other cases — it feels controlled. If I shake it, there’s barely any movement, which is exactly what I was looking for. Second: build quality. The stitching is clean and consistent — almost surgical compared to the wrinkled mess I saw on another model. The outer fabric stays flat, no weird waves or cheap-looking folds. The interior lining is softer and thicker too, so it feels more protective without being bulky. Third: structure. I even did a quick “real-world” test — stood it vertically on a mattress, zipper open, applied pressure from the top — and it held its shape. The other case I tried would have collapsed immediately. This one actually feels like it can handle normal use without transferring pressure straight into the laptop. The external pocket is simple but practical. It fits the charger brick and cable without interfering with the main compartment, which keeps the laptop fit intact. Only downside: I could do without the orange accents. A full black version would be perfect. But honestly, that’s cosmetic — functionally, this one does what it’s supposed to do. At around this price point, this feels fair. Not luxury, not overhyped — just a well-executed, practical sleeve that gets the fundamentals right. Bottom line: not perfect, but finally something that feels properly made and actually holds the laptop instead of just surrounding it.
