Else you can get a piggyback pouch for ALL your cables and accessories needs.
Are there any cases similar to the bookbook cases available? I sure hope it won't take time to make one for the rMBP. It's the best case ever
TwelveSouth has it for the MBA.

Might release it for the RMBP. Email them. They may take a few months or more though.
I just ordered this sleeve from goincase.com

Cost me a total of $25, thank you to the google offers!
Total savings of $37.95
$49.95 + $13 S/H = $62.95 total
google offer coupon covers the cost of the sleeve and INCLUDES free S/H.
Awesome deal.

Thanks! Glad I didn't order one yesterday. Was thinking about going with the suede jacket from sfbags.com, but can't beat that price!
I have a Moshi Codex loose fitting leather case for my current 15" MBP which I'm hoping will still fit on an rMBP if I order one. I love it and it hasn't caused a single scratch so far. It is very well padded and you can remove it easily or keep it attached as you open the lid.

When are you supposed to get it? My rMBP is expected to come in about a month but I'm guessing it will come a bit sooner. Curious to see what will fit in the outer pocket (external HDD) and how well you think it will protect the computer.
I have a feeling the incase sleeves aren't redesigned for the Retina Pro ~ but rather that it will fit inside 'loosely'. If you look, you can see everything that isn't a hardshell from incase's 15" Pro listings can be found in the 'retina' listing. Hard cases are obviously incompatible if only because the measurements have to be exact, whereas sleeves don't.
From what I've been reading, the incase sleeves have always been very snug around the laptop to the point of almost not fitting so I'm sure they will be just fine for the retina. If not, you can always return it!
Anyone have one of the Booq Vyper padded cases? I love mine for my 13", but I wonder if the thinner retina model won't bounce around in the normal 15" case a bit.
I'm using this with my new retina baby:

The 15" flight jacket fits great (not too snug), but is NICE leather, ages well, and had room for charger etc., and can used as a briefcase or backpack. Quality stuff from this company..

I just bought this grey/pink incase sleeve from John Lewis reduced to £23.95 from £35:
I have the all black one for my current 13" Macbook and have liked it so I figure this will be very similar. I think it'll fit pretty well considering there's only 0.6cm between the standard and retina models.

I have this case on the way.

But my rMBP isn't expected until around mid July but I'm expecting it to come a bit earlier than what Apple say.

I actually ordered this case:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0075E53JM
which I'm guessing is the same design but in a different color?
I'm supposed to be receiving the sleeve tomorrow and the laptop a week after, so we'll see how snug of a fit it is. I would wait for new sleeves designed specifically for the Retina MBP, but I'm starting college and I don't wanna take any risks as a clueless freshman wandering a new campus ._.

Just wanted to report back that my rMBP fits perfectly into my Rickshaw Bags 15" MBP sleeve. It was a little snug but slipped right in.

Hey thanks for posting this link, I just bought one in chocolate leather trim for my new MBPR, looks great!
I have a beautiful Pippeto Rocker in lovely black leather, but it's for the non-retina model. I guess I'll see what the fit is like when my RMBP arrives, be sad if it's too loose though as they're the best sleeves ever.

I was going to purchase a case from them for my MBPR too but realized it might too big.. Did you try the case with your MBPR yet?
