Hey everyone. I'm in day three of Macbook ownership and am really enjoying it. I really want to make sure I protect it as much as possible. I have an older notebook back pack and was considering getting either the Brenthaven Edge I for MacBooks or just getting the Incase sleeve and putting it in my notebook bag. The reason I was looking at the Brenthaven is because it looks like it fits very snugly and provides great protection. Does anyone have one of these or something that they use? How about the Incase sleeve?

Also what are the best ways to keep the Macbook clean. I've heard of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. How is that? Does anyone have any advice or procedures that they use to keep the machine looking like new (case, screen, keyboard)?

Thanks everyone!

My girlfirend's macbook is protected by this (http://www.marware.com/PRODUCTS/Apple-Laptop-Products/Protection-Pack-Plus-for-MacBook) (which keeps the top nice and clean, and stops any key impressions on the screen), this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tucano-Second-Folder-Apple-MacBook/dp/B000IOM3TE/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1205449663&sr=8-1) (which protects it when not in it's travel bag) and this (http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/4166022/Belkin-15-Messenger-Bag/Product.html).

I'm seriously tempted to find myself a slightly less pink Belkin bag - like the last link. They're cheap, and the laptop sleeve inside is *soooo* smooth, it couldn't scratch anything.

I'd recommend all three, to be honest. Flexibility 'n' shiz. ;)

I know that as far as keeping the macbook itself clean and new, the Speck see-thru cases are sick... a friend of mine has one and it is very nice
