I think your only viable options are Speck Satin Black (it's semi transparent) or the Hard Candy Shell which doesn't appear to be available till November per their site.

Hard Candy promised to ship it at the end of September and then they moved it to 15 October and then they moved it to at the end of October and then they moved it to November.
Speck now that the SeeThru Satin for the rMBP in 4 colors (Black, Purple, "Malachite", and "Peacock"). I believe these cases are supposed to be thicker/sturdier than the SmartShell, but nothing on the site really shows the difference.

Waterfield Cases UK
Hey guys,
I was interested in either getting the Cityslicker ($149) or the Smart Case ($99) by Waterfield. I'm currently in the UK and as the website says international shipping does not include customs and VAT. So I was wondering if anyone from tha UK whose ordered one of these, has paid for customs and VAT. Thanks.

Hi guys,
Anyone has any experience with the Booq Mamba Courier
http://www.booqbags.com/us/shoulder-bags/mamba-courier/MCR15-GRY
or the Incase Heathered Shoulder Bag
http://goincase.com/products/detail/heathered-shoulder-bag-cl60029
would like to share some experiences?
I would love to get either of them when I get my rMBP and I was wondering if I could fit a
- External battery (think Hypermac) + some sort of solar charger
- Maybe the rMBP Magsafe adapter
- Camera, mirrorless (think Sony NEX or Fuji X100)
- rMBP
- couple of USB thumbdrives
- a mini portable tripod
- iPad + some slim keyboard (Logitech solor keyboard)
- Windows Surface + keyboard
- Couple of cables
- Earphone + Amplifier (Think JH3A, or Platform Pure 6)
With the camera, and the earphones easily accessible on the go.
Thank you

Hello, does anyone have this backpack?
http://www.brenthaven.com/macbook-cases/prostyle-lite-backpack-black#viewer
I was looking for a backpack for college and found this one. I also found a coupon for it that lowers the price down to $70, but haven't been able to find any decent reviews on it.

I want one too can't decide between the black or clear, which one you going for?
Apple Retail stores don't seem to have any stock at all. Apple online is now showing availability of 1-3 weeks depending on colour.
Black Version:

Clear Version:
http://www.jigsaw24.com/product-details/g639aad
£34.80 + delivery (not sure what they charge)
- Just checked delivery details and it says: Standard (2-3 days) Free!
Save a few quid there buying from Jigsaw, that's what I'm going to do!
I think i'll go with the clear quite possibly, like the original finish of the MBPr however it could show scratches more prominently over the black.
Anyone know any good sleeve cases that looks similar to InCase that will fit the rMBP perfectly?
I bought this sleeve: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008I3HENM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I love it. Fit nice and tight.
Just received my Speck SeeThru Satin Black Hard Shell Case for 15" MBP Retina Display and scared of using it.
The edges are sharp and it says to remove the case every month to clean any debris as this may scratch the macbook.
I don't want to be in a situation where i'm trying to keep my macbook in pristine condition using this case and the case caused the scratches.
What are your experience's?

Just wanted to say Picaso Lab refined his cases and changed to a texture leather, I think the result is great. He also retooled his process and cut down on the size of the actual case. He said they're significantly more durable and the result is a lot more consistant.

I bought one of the clear case a few weeks after it came out and i've been taking it off every week to clean my rmbp. Haven't notice any scratches so far.
Do you have case dimensions of before and after his retooling? I'm curious as to how much smaller the case is now.
Those are actually the pictures he sent me, but thats exactly what I plan to do as soon as it arrives. It's currently in transit.
I'll get back to you!
Really interested in the Speck Satin SeeThru, but I also plan to be a power user with Games and video editing, After Effects... etc. So I am very concerned about overheating... Any power users have experience with this?
The Mujjo sleeve in brown for the MBP is gorgeous! Still debating on whether or not I want to spend $70 on a sleeve, though.
