has anyone used a colcasac for the macbook pro retina is the protection good and are they too feminine for a male college student?
 
They offer great protection and who cares if they are feminine (which they are not?) it's a laptop sleeve.
 
i mean i already have a hardshell case for my mac and a north face laptop backpack , do i really need a extra sleeve ? i also have insurance incase it breaks
 
Colcasacs provide almost no drop protection, it's really just scratch protection. If you have a shell then the Colcasac will not do anything for you.

That being said, Colcasacs are excellent sleeves. I have them for all of my devices.

If you didn't have the shell on your Macbook already, I'd highly recommend it for a little extra scratch protection when you slip it into your backpack.

the main reason why i want to return the colcasac is the fact that since its so snug which i like but kinda hate , since every morning i have to spend time to put it into this sleeve which takes a while and then if i want to stop at the library in-between classes or something , its a pain to take it out of the sleeve , so the main reason is the inconvenience it provides , so if it provides no protection i might as well return the sleeve and get $30

I agree. If it's a hassle and doesn't add much more protection then you should save yourself the money. I will say that after a few weeks the material really does soften up and become much more pliable and it won't be as much as a struggle to put it on.
