After months of searching I found the perfect sleeve for my MBPr

U get what you pay for most times........this is one of those rare times in which I am struggling to see the value :(
 
Tumi makes quality products, it's like buying a vaja case for the iPhone I spent almost 4k on a laptop a 130.00 case doesn't seem like much
 
It doesn't look like it provides much in the way of protection, but I'm just judging from the pictures.

Maybe post a review?
 
I got a "Second Skin" from Tucano. $20. Fits perfectly and has a nice pocket that protects the rMBP from the zipper.
 
The product posted by the O.P. looks to be pretty high-quality leather which is why it's so expensive. If you aren't into real leather, there's no reason to spend that much. :)

You are correct on the laptop to case ratio - a premium product like a MBP deserves a good case - but I still don't see the quality/value in your chosen sleeve :(
 
I'll put some nice pics up to each his own but I like tumi as a brand and love this case, it's mainly for stylish transportation but its defiantly eye catching I assure you

Perhaps show me one nicer then I don't mind having two.
 
Just got a nice incase neoprene for my 2012 cmbp 15inch. Love it.$24 on Amazon and I throw that into my backpack or the other bags I have.

Pretty ugly.

Regardless if it's leather.

You can get really nice messenger bags for $200-400, you're better off investing into that. You can also carry books, etc. in those things. Sleeves are useless. I have a neopreen and never use it. I just use my messenger bag (saving some money to get a really good one).

Already have a nice carry brief from Montblanc, I was looking at their leather sleeves but they are upwards of 700.
 
I like the Puma sleeves you can get in the Apple Store. The neoprene is thicker than the other sleeves I tried. It makes a great container for rMBP.
 
My Picasolab leather case is similar in price (about $30 less) but is open at the top (no zipper). Although, your sides look incredibly flimsy. I like leather cases and you're right, $130 isn't bad when covering your several thousand dollar device.

Sometimes you can grab a second hand fine tuned leather bag for super cheap.

I was in Europe for a few months and came by a really really amazing second hand bag and my laptop fit perfectly. Only €80. I did some resesarch afterwards and these things cost around €300
