Best sleeve / shell / protection for Macbook Pro

[u49aa2]

Their DNS servers seems to be having some trouble.

It is working fine with me. Just save the link and try later. i think their products give more value to any laptop. The case i am thinking about is around $300

Just remember all sleeves are good for is protecting from scratches. If you drop it your mac is done for

Thanks


I'm hoping that won't happen. It probably won't as it will always either be on my desk or in my backpack.

You might want to search all the threads about people dropping their unis while in a backpack while in a sleeve. That glass cracks pretty easy. And most people had their macs in actual laptop bags. You would be ahead to put a little piece of foam padding in the bottom of the backpack. I bet that would help protect the best in a flat drop off the shoulder.

I have a Powerbook G4 Aluminum...would a hard case for the Macbook Pro (the older one...not the newer one) fit the Powerbook G4 Aluminum?

I am considering buying something from them for an MBA i am going to buy in the near future.

Those are some sweet cases. If you get one please let us know how you like them. They are expensive though.

I have a Speck SeeThru Clear Orange and the fit is perfect. Makes my MB White look brand-new again.

Next up: Moshi PalmGuard, ClearGuard, and iKlear already in the mail.

13"MBP compatible with a hardcase made for uMacBook????

Does anyone know whether the hardcase fro the unibody macbook will work with a 13"MBP? I was looking at them and I can't tell much difference.

Hello,

I just ordered a Macbook Pro and am now looking for the best way to protect it. There seems to be three choices so far:

1) Sleeve
2) Hard case
3) InvisibleSheild

I have a few concerns about the sleeves as some of the reviews on Apple.com seem to suggest that the zipper causes scratches, dents, etc.

I don't really have any concerns about the Hard case except that it may make the laptop fat or make it look ugly.

The invisible shield looks cool but seems to be a PITA to put on and I'm not sure if it will actually give the MBP any protection against anything except scratches.

Seriously, it's a machine just use it. If you don't wanna scratch it, stick it back in the box and just pull it out when you wanna show people you know how to use a computer.

Speck vs. Incase...

Is the Speck hardcase the same as Incase hardcase? has anyone used a speck case for MBP?

The Speck cases are meant to fit better / more securely. I've read complaints about the Incase cases.

I have an order in for 2 vaja cases, one for my iphone and one for my MBP.

I figured what the hell. I want my $#!& to look sweet, and they look like they do a good job beyond the aesthetics too. Use-in capable, and all.

I have an incase and it works great. Almost all the reviews on the specks on Apple.com were bad, so I don't know if I want to go that route.

I am more interested in hardcases because I have a backpack that I use to move my computer. Now I have to choose between Speck and Incase.

Brenthaven Eclipse Sleeve III

I had a "light" sleeve (no pockets or handles) with my older 13" Macbook. I got this one (had a Apple Store gift card) because of the handle. I like it better. Its not any thicker, has an inside and outside pocket, and a handle. And when the handle not in use, it pushes in flush with the top of the case, out of the way.

So in my mind, this case has everything my previous sleeve had, form factor, etc., but adds 2 pockets and a freakin convenient carrying handle.
