Hi Walkingin, So, I can't answer this question exactly, but I can shed a little (hopefully useful) light on it. I have the Incase Flight Nylon 13" sleeve for my MacBook Air and, in my view: (1) it's a great, protective, stylish and well-constructed sleeve; (2) it has a quality nylon fabric that feels (and so far has proven) durable and a zipper that runs smooth and effortlessly; (3) the isle fo the sleeve has a faux fur that feels plush and unlikely to scratch -- ever; and (4) the tolerances are pretty tight inside the sleeve -- as they should be in IMHO, because the sleeve's main focus is to protect, and if there was a lot of room for the computer to move about inside the sleeve, the protective aspect might be compromised, albeit perhaps slightly.


All that said, I do not actually have the Incase hard shell case and have not sought to fit it inside the sleeve that I do have. And so I cannot say for sure that it will fit inside the sleeve. (If I had to guess based on my experience with the sleeve and my read of the dimensions of the shell case, I would say yes, it would fit, but it would only be a guess.). I do wonder whether both a hard shell and a sleeve are necessary and/or maybe a bit redundant, but only you know your particular use case. For example, what kind of bag (if any) would you be carrying the sleeve in and how rigorous is your travel usually (i.e., down the street to the local socially-distanced coffee shop or (when travel resumes full blast) across the continent or around the world.


One thing that might really help is calling or emailing Incase, given that you already have one of their products (the shell) and are considering adding another of their products (the sleeve), and who knows both products better than the folks that made them?! LOL You can reach them here:
