Leather case MacBook Pro 15" (new one with touch bar)

[lauramayer]

Hello,
I need a nice case for my MacBook.
My 15" will arrive next week. I have a nice leathers case for my iPad Pro 12". I like this.

I wonder, if there is a good leather case out there? I have some concerns about the heat. Does a thick case could damage the MacBook?

Maybe you have some awesome picks 🙂
Pictures or links are always welcome.

Thanks.

Greetings,
Laura

I certainly wouldn't put a MBP into a leather case! It will most likely severely impact heat dissipation and ventilation. Rather, why not use a leather sleeve for transportation?

I like leather 🙂. Leather handbags or a nice jacket .

A leather sleeve would be ok too, but I can not find good looking sleeves or cases for the new MacBook. There are a lot of sleeves and cases for the "old" retina MacBook Pro. Even the guys from BookBook dose not have any stuff yet.

I mean, it should be long enough since the presentation right?

I like leather too but I am sure that you are not wearing leather underwear 24/7 (which is what putting a laptop into a leather sleeve would be like)

Your question should have been posted in this thread. You didn't need to make your own thread about sleeves or cases. Plenty of pictures there.

Most of them are sleeves or bags. Nothing really about the topic leather.

So, meh.

Do you have a leather sleeve?

I do kind of like the look of this sleeve. Being handmade, it should fit as advertised.

Vaja Cases lists a case for the Macbook Pro w/touch bar as "coming soon". Your guess is as good as mine what "soon" means to them 🙂

Do you have a leather sleeve?

No, I don't see much point in sleeves. I usually just drop the laptop into the bag. And for when I commute by bicycle, I have a shock-absorbent protective Pelican hardshell.
