I'll keep it short on the details only becase I'm still dealing with them and I'll probaby be posting a nice story on how Matias sent me a defaced Laptop Armor aluminum case for my macbook pro 17", then said they would exchange it, picked it up via ups from my house, and hasn't sent me a new one, contacted me, and I can't seem to get in contact with them.
Yup. They have my case and my money right now. They've lied to me so much it isn't funny. But I'll save that story for when its finished.
Anyways, I went with the laptoparmor because I'm a klutz, but after seeing the defaced one, it really doesn't even protect as much as i thought. Yes, on the outside, it protects great, but on the inside, you can't even fit your accessories in it. I mean, you can fit them in the case, but when you close it, they press down (fairly hard) on the mac. For the few days I had the case, i had to carry a seperate bag with my stuff in it.
So, I'm looking for something to protect my mac directly, and something nice to carry it in (like a sling or something).
I read through the forums and saw alot of cases, but most were only for 15" mbp's or 13" mb's.
I saw these 2 also:
- http://shinza.com/product_info.php?cPath=5&products_id=58
- http://www.booqbags.com/Detail.bok?no=1406
Those seem like they would protect. Anyone have an opinion on which is better or if there is a better brand/option with the same sleek-fit + shock/hit protection?
As for sling case, I'm looking for something either professional or industrial (like oakley). Any ideas?
Basically, I want this thread to be like all the other ones for 15" macbook pro's only for 17" owners and their case experiences.
Stay tuned for my Matias story, too
