MacBook Air carrying bag / case

srxtr · Jul 21, 2011

Sorry if this has been covered already, didn't notice any similar threads in the first two pages (other than the accessories thread, which didn't cover bags).

I'll need a carrying bag for my new MBA, does anyone have any suggestions? Preferably on amazon.com?

I would like one that's light and has room for the MBA, its charger, and maybe a notebook(optional) and pen(optional)

While that's great and perhaps helpful, I'm hoping to find models that are more recent, not ones that were purchased back in 2008.

Btw, if you're going to reply with "google it" or "do your own research" you're of no help and please don't bother replying.

With new Apple releases comes new accessories for those releases, I'm interested in anyone who has recently purchased a carrying bag to carry the new MBAs.

A bit pricey, but I think rather worth it.

It would help if you told us whether you have the 11 or 13-inch also.

Wow a bit pricey is right lol

It definitely looks interesting, but it's really not my type.

totally loving this one. anybody any experience? I would just throw it in my backpack and wondering if that would be enough protection for my air?!
Also, do I need something between they keyboard and the screen? I heard that on some earlier macbook models you could see the keyboard demarcation on the sreen.

I wanted a genuine leather sleeve for mine. I have anincipio sleeve which is well made and I'm pleased. However I have since met someone with a Joli sleeve and was jealous! Bit more expensive tho.

For a bag I would go with this...

It's amazing how much stuff you can pack in there.

jclardy · Jul 25, 2011

You should check out the cases/bags at http://sfbags.com. They are a bit expensive, but really high quality. They have a couple of different choices for the MBA.

I ordered that one yesterday. I'll give you my thoughts when I got it.

I ordered a ColcaSac to stuff it in when I carry it inside my bag.

I love this sleeve, but reading the reviews...apparently it's too small for the new MBA? Anyone have any recent information about this case? It's only $20 so it's perfect for my budget. Or does anyone know of anything like this?

that would be amazing!! how long is the estimated shipping time?

FieldingMellish · Jul 26, 2011

The one for the 11 inch exposes some of the sides and all of the top. Maybe the 13 does too. A buyer said that seams on his are coming apart.

Pay double for Incase and you get all around protection. Even the edges are padded because of the circumference of neoprene piping.

It haven't shipped yet so I dunno really. I live in Sweden though and it will be shipped from Germany, so once they ship it shouldn't take more than 24 hours. I hope to have it before the weekend.

Was about to do that, too. Then I read that it will scratch your macbook, because it is not protected from the zipper inside. Also quality should be poor ...

For some reason every time I see that bookbook case I cringe, I really dislike it.

Check out the range from Incase and Booq.
