I'm trying to find a decent, hard sleeve to put my MBP in and have yet to find anything.

I recently purchased a Booq Viper M2 to replace a Crumpler School Hymn and to be honest, I'm not impressed. The simi-rigid foam they advertise is easily less than 1/4" thick (more like 1/8") and not rigid...at all. The foam is basically backing for the nylon outer. It's actually a step back from the cheaper Crumpler.

Has anyone used the Axio Hard Sleeve? I've read one review and it really doesn't say much.

Another option I found (in Europe unfortunately) is the Crumpler Hard Suit. Looks a little more substantial than the School Hymn but with the current exchange rate, I'm looking at $100 shipped and I have no idea how tough it actually is.

WTF, all I want is something that can take some abuse, in or out of a bag, and in the process not jack up my MBP.

Sorry for the sort of rant. I'm just annoyed I spent $65 for a couple pieces of nylon canvas and a zipper.
