What are some of the best hardshell cases for the MBA? I previously had a flawless Macbook Pro that got dented accidentally in a split second that left me really upset. I want to prevent that from ever happening to my MBA. Also, what is a good carrying bag for the MBA?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated,
Mr.PS
 
Hi Mr.PS

Here's my current setup. I am using the Speck Clear Candy Shell for my MBA and I like it because it's thin adds minimal bulk and weight. Also, IMO makes it look shine and look even sexier. I purchased mine from amazon. Actually, I just checked an they lowered the price. I originally paid $34.64 and now it's $30 so that's cool.

For the bag I use an Incase Nylon Sling Sleeve. This I purchased at the apple store and payed full retail ($59.99). This I like because it fits everything I need from cables to charger to disc's computer and more. It's relatively small but it works great and looks awesome as well.

Unfortunately they don't make one for the 13" air. I think the one for the MBP 13" will fit your 13" MBA too baggy. The only way to be sure is to take your MBA to the apple store or a local best buy. They always have lots of the 13" MPB incase sling bags available around my area. Alternatively, you can use of the demo computers however, you might not be able to close it completely due to the security cables and what not. Goodluck
