Macbook Pro Bags, Sleeves, and Cases Thread

could someone refer me to some laptop sleeves
looking for a laptop sleeve that is water proof or at the very least water resistant
not a hard cover/case
under $70

the haglof laptop dry bag would be perfect but I can't seem to find it in the US

Only water resistant one I've seen is the Thule sleeve Apple sells on the store.

Haglöfs Laptop DryBag 17" http://www.haglofs.com/en-US/products/backpacksbags/accessories/unisex/laptop_drybag_17_en-us.aspx
 
A good place to look for bags, sleeves for Apple products is Waterfield Designs - SF Bags. They do a great job and have exceptional service. I own a number of their products and I am extremely pleased with them. I think you will be too!!!!!!
 
I like SFBag sleeves too, but I'm not going to lie, its "slippery" texture combined with no handle is a bit inconvenient at times.

If they won't budge on the handle, at least make the sleeves easier to grip (securely) with one hand...
 
Crumpler or bust. Their bags are brilliant, Ive been stuck in pouring rain and the laptop has stayed perfectly dry, I mean proper pouring rain, the kind that cause floods.

They protect the computer perfectly, keep it dry and depending on the type, hold all your other goodies! I own 2 now - the Dreadful Embarrassment and Dry Red No 5. Both are brilliant. No dings, no dampness or wetness, comfortable and best of all - lifetime guarantee. These puppies are well made, no crappy zippers, no ****** padding and enough room.

Anything less is doing your hard earned a disservice, HIGHLY recommend.
 
For my daily trips I have a Timbuk2 Blogger messenger bag (and 7 other bags). It has a corduroy lining in the laptop compartment. If you know Timbuk2 then you know there is a lot of space for stuff. Balistic Nylon. Padded area for MBP.

I keep my MBP in a Tucano Second Skin Sleeve. It looks new after using it for a few years. Keeps it shape and has a cool cover that doesn't scratch the body. Very soft to touch.

Hm, interesting, it also addresses my primary complaint with the SF sleeves (gripping), while one-upping it in terms of being water proof (SF sleeves aren't entirely waterproof). It is pricer than a standard SF sleeve though. Still, I'll keep this in mind the next time I buy one, thanks.

Those look really great, thanks! I'm moving to a rainier city later this year. Will definitely keep these in mind. This thread is awesome.

If rainy is a concern Chrome bags outperform Crumpler any day of the week. Made in USA to boot.
 
For my late 2008 unibody MBP I have a Booq Vyper M3 hard sleeve. the MBP fits snug.

I ordered the new retina MBP this week. As it is slightly narrower and slimmer, do you think I need a new retina specific sleeve or will my current one be ok? I just wouldnt want the rMBP moving around when i'm carrying it that's all

Here is a thread specific to the Retina's. Not many cases out yet for the Retina......but the QUALITY ones take a bit longer to release.
