So, what cases are available for the 16” MBP M1 Max? Anyone know of any cases/sleeves that’ll work?
 
Sadly none yet. I talked to Incase customer service and apparently they aren't releasing till 2022. So I don't even want to buy a macbook yet until I know I will have a case :(

Incase is such a weird company now. Is anyone even managing them? If you go on their website and look up phone devices the latest it shows is the Xs Max.

They must be struggling lol that’s just the brand I’ve always used for my MacBook cases

Yeah, I used to buy from them all the time. I still have a sleeve from them that's from... maybe 2013? That has held up exceptionally. I bought a sleeve from them last year and it was of poor quality, so I told their customer service reps I was disappointed and explained in detail why. They offered no apology, no words of consolation, no discount, nothing. Just said 'here are the steps to send it back.' Yikes.

I think everything went downhill when they were acquired by Incipio.
 
May need to re-purpose my Pack & Smooch from my 2016 15" for my new 16" -- hope it fits! or, I guess I'll be finding something else to carry the laptop around.. I really like the incase sleeves though -- sad they're being so slow about releasing new items.

It's weird how there are no new cases or sleeves at launch even more so that there are none from Apple themselves. How will I transport my expensive new 16" with no sleeve. It'll function as a desktop the first few months I guess. I was hoping to get one from Incase but from the comments in this thread that'll probably not happen anytime soon.

It's so close that it would be ridiculous to rejig/repurchase. Not even a tenth of an inch in any dimension - only a hard case *might* be an issue.

FWIW, my 15" waterfield outback solo sleeve fits my 16" MBP just fine, in fact I'd prefer using it than buying a slightly larger sleeve simply because it's that tiny bit more compact to carry.
 
I really want to get the Incase ICON Sleeve in Woolenex for 16" MacBook Pro -- have it for the 13" MBP M1 and love it. I'm really curious if the new MBP will be too large. I know it's super close, but..

How did you get on with that? They now seem to have it in the 2021 16 size. Have one for my 12.9 iPad Pro and absolutely love it, top quality
