Hello,
I have MBP and I am looking for a sleeve.
Do You have any recommendations. I am thinking to buy:

or

What do You think?

It will be very helpful for me to get some info from Brenthaven owner.

those look more like bags/carrying cases than sleeves.

i have the incase sleeve for my MBP that Apple sells at their stores. it does what i need it to do.

I have the Metro (http://www.brenthaven.com/catalog-metro-black.html) and love it. More protection than a simple sleeve. Smaller and lighter than a full-size bag.

I prefer the crumpler bags. But thats just my opinion. I do have a Tucano Second Skin for my MBP. Works just fine.

What I am looking for is not exactly sleeve but as You mentioned - small and compact carrying case.

I found one very cheap Brenthaven bag - it looks compact but I am not sure about the quality....

Hi There
I have the brenthaven edge, its not a bag or a sleeve, its a case.
Its got very good padding and the zips and other fixtures are of high quality,
the one problem I have it, is where do I put the power brick and plug?

The brick will fit in to the sleeve on the back of the case (though streches the pouch slightly which will only offer minimal protection) and the plug has to stick out of the top (UK plug though, don't know if the american one is slimmer)

I use it with my macbook and it is probably a little large, but I'm very happy with the case and the protection which it offers, I would give the case 8/10 and reccomend it to others.

Good Luck
Nick

Hello Nick, please can You send me some pictures.
And I have one question - is this case durable and for how long time You have it?

Thanks a lot!
