4.Avoid getting the case wet. Take extra care in rainy or snowy weather. Be careful not to set your leather case down on wet or snowy surfaces.

5.Immediately clean spills. If something is spilled on the case, immediately clean off spot with a damp cloth and allow the clean laptop bag to dry in a well-ventilated area.

6.Do not use oils or lubricants on the latches, hinges, and clasps. They can run and get into the case.
