just picked up the incase neoprene case for my alum macbook. they only had white and it was $38

case fits pretty good it is a little bit big but over all nice fit and finish...id recommend it over just carrying your case or anythign else at the store

i went home and saw the new booq bag taipan skin for the macbook and ordered it...its on back order but when i get it i ll do a caparison

Wow! That Taipan Booq bag looks way better than the incase that everyone always goes on about. I can't wait to hear your review of it. I might have to get one if there are no glaring issues.

The 15" model is 364x249x25mm compared to 364x249x24.1mm for the mbp so it should be a pretty snug fit.

Keep us informed !

as soon as it gets here i will... it might take a little extra time since it is "currently out of stock"

I also bought a 13" incase sleeve for my new macbook. It's a little bigger than needed due to it being made to accommodate the thicker previous gen macbooks. I'm wondering if incase is going to come up with a slimmer sleeve for the new revision.

The Vyper M2 (http://www.booqbags.com/s.nl/it.A/id.74/.f?sc=13&category=-113), the harder and more expensive version is on special down under. It is only $39(US$27) now rather than the $85(US$57.50) it was.
I wonder if it is better to get that rather than the taipan, what do you think?

Edit: Don't worry, I just noticed why. They are still for the old MBP
358x244x25mm (Vyper)
364x249x25mm (Taipan)

I'm very interested in the Booqbag. As I was searching, I found this coupon:

G10 for 10% off.

Just thought I'd let anyone who is reading this know that the Vyper M3 (http://www.booqbags.com/s.nl/it.A/id.394/.f?sc=13&category=-113) is out now (for shipment in late November)which is like the M2 but designed for the NEW 15" MBP.
The Vyper looks like it would provide a fair bit more protection (as it is made of stiff nylon with a soft lining rather than soft neoprene)than the Taipan so it might be worth a look if you want that little bit extra protection.
