Hey guys I was looking around for a case for my macbook, preferably a backpack. I came upon two main backpacks that seem to fit the macbook nicely: the STM small loop; crumpler's salary sacrifice. does anyone have experience with these backpacks or any other laptop carrying case for the macbook? thanks.
Got a tip for us?

If you are looking for just a sleeve rather than a backpack then I can recommend the STM Glove, fits the Macbook very well and has kept my Macbook safe from knocks and bangs when in my backpack. Got mine from Radtech who's delivery and customer service was exceptional despite me being in the UK.
I too was considering one of STM's sleeves. One is the "Glove" as mentioned above and the other is a gray on called the "Rebound" does anyone have any information that might make my decision between these two easier? FYI for a C2D MB. TIA
The Glove will protect the MB from scratches and light bumps and should be used in conjunction with a more reinforced bag for transportation. As the name says, it fits tight like a glove. The Rebound offers a lot more protection, it's thicker (but still compact) and the material it is made of really absorbs heavier shocks, it's very nice, and if you use it with a bag you'll be even more protected, of course.
I was just thinking of the same thing looking for a thread about it happy I found one.

I have a Tucano second skin for my powerbook. There is obviously a limit to how much protection a sleeve can give but they protect against minor knocks, scratches and dust.
I always carry my laptop in one of these in a NorthFace rucksack.
I'm looking ata STM glove for my new macbook. The INcase sleeves seem to be a looser fit than I'd like. Anyone have an incase sleeve for their macbook?
if you want a backpack, go with one for the 15" ones and use a sleeve, then you have a bag for future upgrades too

Heh I don't plan to "upgrade". I prefer smaller laptops to larger ones =D. For gaming I use my PC desktop anyway so i don't need laptops with SUPER speed
yeah i never understood ppl who wanted gaming laptops, laptops are for portability.
So the Rebound is highly recommended over the Glove? I plan on placing the MB in the sleeve and into a notebook backpack.
I placed an order and I believe it shipped already. I'm going to cancel though. I believe I am on 'overkill' mode. I already purchased the BestSkinsEver full body skin, deciding on a sleeve and already purchased/has been shipped Notebook Backpack. I really don't need the Speck See-Thru case though it does look nice and offers much protection. At least I can use the $65 towards more RAM
It really depends on how you are going to use it. The Glove doesn't add any considerable volume to the MB. The Rebound offers more protection but makes the MB a bit thicker overall.
Well it'll be placed within this. What do you think? The rebound is only $5 more with more protection....I guess I'll have to checkout the backpack first.

After reading some of the customers reviews on the backpack, I would go for the Rebound, it will problably fit better and you will also have better protection on the top (one of the pointed out flaws of the backpack).
