hi, i've had my macbook pro for a while now, but still don't have a case for it. The only suitable cases i've seen are just boring black. I want something that looks slightly more stylish and isn't too bulky. Anyone have any ideas where i can get one?

Bag or sleeve? Crumpler make cool bags and Foofshop.com make sleeves that sure aren't boring. Then again, the Booq sleeves are black but pretty damn stylish...

Here is what I'm seriously considering right now.

A bit on the pricey side, but the reviews I have read say they are excellent. What do you think?

incase bags/sleeves are pretty nice, you can find them on Apple's store website

I really like my Incase I bought from the Apple Store.

I got a thin satchel type in Orange. It has a ultra soft microfiber type lined interior and a few small pockets. I can take my MBP, AC Charger, Remote, & Thumbdrive all at once in a very thin package.

I just picked up an STM Evolution bag (http://www.stmbags.com.au/smallevolution). Quite nice, and have used their bags for years without any problems. I have a 'Small Loop' that's been around the world with me three times (carrying an IBM Thinkpad X40). Can get them at Radtech (http://www.radtech.us/) if you're in the US.

I just picked up one of these: http://www.mac-case.com/Leather Site/Big Pictures Pages/Sleeves/MacCase PL SleeveBK.html

I am very satisfied with the quality of it. And it looks amazing.

STM definitely worth considering. I have a Large Convertible for my 17".

I bought the brenthaven bag which is nice, but not totally aesthetically appealing. I have heard quite a few about the Timbuk2's. http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/retail/catalog.htm?categoryId=85 Those seem pretty good. Don't worry about if it says powerbook 15" my friend has one of them and says his macbook pro works. I don't know since mine hasn't arrived yet. It's sitting in the distribution center waiting for me. YAY! 🙂

if you want something not simply like a black executive, you should look at crumpler bags. some people on this forum swear by them and their site is DEFINITELY anything but boring black.

You can not go wrong with the Jack Spade Laptop bag. It is stylish and very low profile. It fits my C2D Black book and charger just fine, plus it does not scream I have a laptop.

No, but it screams you have $350 for a laptop bag... Wow.

I have a Timbuk2 Commute (http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/retail/catalog.htm?categoryId=85&skusetId=29) and think it is an outstanding bag. Have had Tom Bihn and Outland, and like this one the best. Good size, room for some extra stuff, but not too huge. Built-in sleeve, lots of pockets to organize all ur stuff.

wow i see someone recommended jack spade bags and they're really great and stylish but are by no means budget or mainstream. =(

No slight intended, just making note that the macbook/mbp bag threads are kind of numerous, so you might find even more help searching for previous threads on the subject. I found some here with the forum search and here using MRoogle. 🙂

I bought one of these for my Macbook and am really pleased with it. Depends what you want, I liked its simple stylishness and doesn't look too slickery dickery. This is for their macbook pro range:

I own this. It's the small loft bag from STM. It's perfect for your Macbook sizewise.

I bought it from a site for $44.
