Will My Laptop or iPad Fit Inside the A4 Leather Compendium?
Absolutely — if your device is 12 inches or smaller, chances are it will fit comfortably inside the Compendium Co A4 Leather Folder.

- How to Check If Your Device Fits
If you’re unsure, follow this quick test:
1. Google your device’s dimensions
Search:
“[Your device] dimensions mm”
2. Compare it to our limit:
305mm (height) × 215mm (width)
3. If it’s equal or smaller → it fits perfectly.
If it’s slightly larger in one direction (5–7mm), message me — some models fit depending on the curve and bezel.
- Why We Designed It This Way
The Compendium Co A4 Leather Folder is built for mobility.
Most professionals using cafés, meetings, job sites, or coworking spaces carry:
-
an iPad
-
a small laptop
-
documents
-
a notepad
A 12-inch device is the sweet spot — portable, lightweight, and professional. Designing around this size ensures your compendium:
-
stays slim
-
holds shape
-
fits on café tables
-
slides easily into backpacks or briefcases
-
doesn’t bulk up when filled
- Can It Stretch Over Time?
Yes — full-grain leather naturally softens and moulds slightly with use.
However, we don’t recommend forcing in oversized devices, as it stresses stitching and zips.
- Still Not Sure?
Send us your device model and we’ll check it for you.
We do this every day — and we’ll tell you honestly if it fits or not.
