Anyone know of a good protective sleeve for the unibody MB? I'm looking for something that could sustain a small drop (like a foot) and everyday bumps and bangs. I'm planning on putting the sleeved MB in a regular old thin leather messenger bag, so there's not gonna be much protection there.

Any suggestions?
 
Speck hard shell may be your only hope but it will never prevent a 1' drop to be honest. Depending upon what it falls on and what part of the MB it lands on, nothing is ever really going to protect it from a drop. It may prevent it from a light jolt, but I've yet to see anything advertising that it will protect from a 1' drop.
 
I wrote a mini-review of some hard cases here:

There is, or at least there were MB sized cases in all of the ones I described.

Thanks for all the responses guys. The Booq Vyper XS2 seems to be the closest thing to what I have in mind. I'm hoping the outside is quite rigid..., couple that with an incase hardshell and I should be pretty protected from minor bumps and bangs. Thanks.
