Best Case/Sleeve for a 13" Macbook Pro?

[dilbaggins]

I was just wondering whats the best case/sleeve to buy for a 13" MBP. I want one that prevents scratches and dings but also keeps my MBP safe from water since ill be using this laptop for college and most likely will take it in a backpack soaking in rain.

There's always this uber-waterproof one:

Buy a normal sleeve and carry an umbrella.

Precisely. Even get a ten dollar neoprene sleeve from ebay and be done. I understand the need to protect an expensive investment, but, you shouldn't have to be throwing your computer on the floor into puddles. just be gentle with it and it'll love you back. i've carried my macbooks to and from work everyday for 3 years with no problems (cheap sleeve inside my messenger)

Get a good backpack and spray it with waterproof protectant. You won't have any problems. Maybe if you are standing out in the rain for several hours or decide to go diving in a pond/pool to get some spare change for lunch, your backpack shouldn't leak water.
I just order the booq taipan skin sleeve for my macbook pro. I liked it better than the incase because the neoprene on the outside seemed a little tougher.
