I just got a MBP and have been looking for a sleeve that I can use in my current backpack. Does anyone have any suggestions from the list below? Also, are the Fabrix, InCase, or Foof bags any good? They all look a little flimsy but it is hard to tell without seeing them first hand. Thanks!

Booq's are very nice, but I didn't want to pay that much. I ended up getting maccase and have been very happy. had one for my powerbook, and now my MBP.

i have a Brenthaven Edge II case and love it. only downfall is you can't store the power brick in the case. protects the mbp like no other though.:D

Generally, sleeves do not store the power brick...so for the OP's needs that sounds fine.

I second the mac-case sleeve. I have one for my PowerBook and although it kinda fits my new MBP, I think I'd rather get the one designed for the MBP. I chose the mac-case because it has no metal or any other objects that can scratch the finish on the laptop.

Also, I've had my PB mac-case for over 3 years now and it has held up great! Still looks new!
 
I just don't like the looks of the mac-case products. Right now, I am leaning towards the Built or the iSkin.
 
The ZeroShock looks great, but the only one available is the ZeroShock III, which will not fit the MBP as well as the ZeroShock II did. Has anyone ever heard of the Moshi Codex? -http://www.aevoe.com/shop/moshi.asp?showthis=61
 
I have the 15" Neoprene Sleeve in Maroon/Dark red and it has been great for my needs. It doesn't offer too much protection as if you're going to drop it on the floor or something. But, it's great for carrying around to friends houses and putting it in my backpack for no marks/scratches. :)
