MBP case help

I own many Saddleback Leather products myself (I own the Saddleback Leather large thin briefcase), and am a huge fan of SBL. I'm not sure if you're actually looking for a BAG or a CASE.

If you want a case, I would recommend you get the Saddleback Leather MacBook sleeve.

There's also Renaissance Leather which allows you to create your own custom leather Macbook bag.

If you want a bag, get the Saddleback Leather thin briefcase. You can request suede lining from customer service.

A good alternative would be to look at Rustic Leather, who makes full grain leather products like SBL and is very similar to SBL.

Please clarify whether you're looking for a bag or a case. Perhaps the above links will help you some.

Thanks for the reply! I'll take a look at those links when I get a chance. I put "case" in the title to keep it short, but I'm looking for a briefcase/bag.

Thanks again!

You're welcome! Let me know what you decide on getting.

So I looked through all of those links, and while a lot of those bags look awesome, they're not quite what I was looking for. I did see the other day while looking at the saddleback that they offered suede lining (like you mentioned), but from my experience suede is "rough" and "sheds" -- What I mean by rough is that items get caught with the material instead of "gliding" along it (if that makes sense). I could have been dealing with bad suede though.

Do you have any experience with their suede lining?

You are correct in that suede does "shed". I do own a couple of SBL items with suede lining, and they do "shed", but not drastically like some other suede lined leather bags that I've come in contact with. SBL also features pigskin lining, which is the second toughest lining in the world. My experience with their pigskin is despite it being tough, it's durable and I prefer it to suede because it doesn't "shed".

I recently bought a Chromebag Bravo, It's a backpack, but they also have other type of bags. One disadvantage, they have a separate laptop compartment on the front. I don't use that, I use a sleeve (by Jolioriginals) and just put that in the big compartment. If you use a sleeve you can just use any type of bag that you like

Edit: just saw that it was a very old post, so probably not really relevant anymore for the TS.
