We recently discovered Grams(28) and have been testing and using their products for over a month. It was a good fortune to discover this brand, as Apple has just killed its leather accessories for Macs and iPhones in order to become carbon neutral, and we were looking for a worthy replacement. 

Having used its iPhone 15 Pro case and leather folio for a while, we can wholeheartedly say that the company makes some of the best leather cases for iPhones and Macs. In this review, we will walk you through the Grams(28) 120 leather folio and tell you why it’s one of the best, if not the best, leather sleeves for MacBooks you can buy.

Grams(28) 120 leather folio review: a premium design

The Grams(28) 120 leather folio features a timeless premium design that strikes the perfect balance between minimalism and usability. You get an elegant full-width pocket on the outside for carrying small notebooks, and a main compartment closed with sturdy zippers.

When you open the zipper, you will get a spacious compartment with several pockets for organizing accessories. You can easily fit your 14-inch MacBook Pro, an iPad, cables, a notebook, your iPhone, and a pen. There’s also a hidden pocket for storing your AirTag, so you can always track your folio without using an AirTag holder

Grams(28) 120 leather folio: the premium full-grain leather experience

Grams(28) uses the finest Italian leather for its folios and bags, and you can experience the difference as soon as you unbox your folio. The 120 leather folio feels rich in hands and passes the smell test with flying colors. It’s one of the best leather products we have used.

We love the soft and grainy feel of the lather, which feels far superior to other leather folios we have used. The zipper is strong and opens and closes with a satisfying sound. We are not exaggerating when we say that carrying our 14-inch MacBook Pro in the Grams(28) 120 leather folio always puts a smile on our faces.

Grams(28) 120 leather folio review: what’s with the number

We believe premium products should come with minimal branding, and Grams(28) products pass that test with a unique style. All Grams(28) products get a unique number badging consisting of 10 numbers. The first three digits denote the product code, the next four digits are codes for tannery and materials, and the last three numbers show where the product is made.

These numbers and Grams(28) are embossed in white on all its products, and that’s the only branding you will see. The 120 leather folio has the same branding style, where 120 denotes the product code. If you own a 13-inch MacBook Air or a 16-inch MacBook Pro, you can go for the 114 leather folio or the 118 leather folio. 

Grams(28) also makes smaller leather folios for carrying iPad Pros and iPad Air. You can click the link to view the entire lineup of Grams(28) leather folios.

Grams(28) 120 leather folio review: final thoughts

Grams(28) 120 leather folio passes our review tests with flying colors. It feels premium in hands and offers organization pockets, allowing you to neatly carry your MacBook and accessories. The highlight of the folio is the full-grain Italian leather experience. 

While we cannot vouch for the longevity of its products (we have only been using this for a month), we can tell you that every stitch is purposely placed, and the zippers are super-strong. The company gives you a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can test the product and see for yourself. 

Grams(28) 120 leather folio gets our stamp of approval for anyone looking for a good leather folio for their Mac.
