New uMPB 13" - best case?

olisones · Oct 8, 2009, 04:15 PM

Just got my Refurb uMPB 13" - loving it!! Always pleased with Apple's refurbished products.

Now I need to find a good slim case for it. Anyone have any suggestions?!

What do you want it to protect.

Scratches: Incase's Neoprene Sleeve

My mom has a normal sleeve, and it's full of scratches. You should get a combination of a proper carrying bag/backpack and an invisible shield from zagg.com instead of a sleeve.

I am not sure if you are looking for a carrying case or a everyday use case. So I will give both.

For the carrying case I use the incase neoprene sleeve. My sister has been using it for her white macbook for over two years and she loves it. I have only had it for about two weeks but I like it so far. I was trying to find a bookbag I like with a laptop sleeve but I was having trouble. So now I can use my favorite bookbag and the neoprene sleeve.

I almost always use the speck see-thru satin case in brick red and it has kept my unibody macbook scratch-free. I like it so much I am ordering the black version. I love the satin feel and that I can see the apple light up through the case.

This is what I just bought for my MBP13". It fits the MBP very well, without being too tight, and has adequate room for the PS as well as pens, iPod, etc. yet it's not too big. I really like it.

They come in other colours as well size's for the larger portables Apple do. Not very protective but cool lol.
