I'm looking for a beautiful sleeve to accompany my new rMB as soon as it gets here.

My favorite so far: the felt sleeves by Byrd & Belle

If you have come across any other nice sleeves, be sure to post them here.

I have just bought two:

First, the sleeve: http://jolioriginals.com/products/smooth-macbook
I bought this in brown/aqua for my wife's 512 Silver MB

Second, a case/sleeve: https://www.sfbags.com/collections/...cases/products/12-inch-macbook-travel-express
I bought this in waxed canvas for myself.

These are two of the nicest cases I have come across so far.

Hope that helps.

Isn't it light enough to carry naked everywhere? Seems like the first notebook that I would just carry around like an iPad. If I'm paying that much for extreme portability, a sleeve just seems like a hassle.

Agreed, but the sleeve I posted doesn't seem to add much bulk/weight
+ has the added benefit that you can use the pouches to store your USB-C dongle & charger cable

Some people similarly agonize over sleeves for their iPads

For me, it's more about protection when throwing the MacBook into a bag with other sharp or rigid objects. I don't care about skins, screen protectors, or anything like that, but if I'm packing the device, I want it to be protected.

I only use an Acme Made sleeve in my bag to add some protection.
And covered with Best Skins ever matte.
For me, no point in carrying in the sleeve - won't provide much drop protection.

My cousin prefers the greater protection of the Incase TENSAERLITE and goes without a skin.

Cases are for losers

I'm going commando, as I have with all my iPhones for years.

even your iPhone 6? Those are made to have cases imo. The leather ones from Apple are the hotness.

Never owned a case. Never scratched or dropped my phone. I guess I'm just not a careless slob like most people.

I use my phones naked, but they are in my pocket. I guess I just like the added protection a case provides.

Hey! Easy there! Though I do recall an incident way back that involved my iPhone, a pair of jeans, and a washing machine...
