MacBook Pro Bags, Sleeves, and Cases Thread

What are some of the more popular 16" sleeve choices today? In the past I would generally purchase the Cache's from Tom Bihn but nowadays those are no longer produced. Plus when put a hardshell on the MacBook Pro 16" it changes the dimensions where they are no longer as snug when you have to upsize.

Looking for a sleeve that sits in a backpack.

Get a cache on eBay. I may have an used 16 inch from Bihn or Waterford if you are interested. Can’t beat either’s quality. My bag that I carry on has traveled the globe over the last 15 years and is in great shape.

Yeah I've still got a 1st generation brain bag that I would use to carry my laptop.

I know it's been a while since you posted but do you have the Waterford still and are you selling it?
 
Late to the post (By a mile) What are the go to hardcases / Covers for Mbp? In the past I've just bought the bog standard but will like to splurge a little at this stage (UK Preferred) Thanks
 
Pink leather slim sleeve from Daiso, for my M4 Pro MacBook Pro 14 inch.

The large flap doubles up as a mousepad.

I had Incipio I think it was called hard case on my 15" mbp, fit like a glove, but seems like they went under. for 16" I'm looking at a matte BlueSwan on amazon, but the images are all CGI, so no idea what's in the bag, and photo reviews of other options are a bit dodgy. the barely-there hinges are making me think the case won't hold, or mbp won't shut properly with the case on. somebody try it for me 😂

Same blue swan and soon jet are similar to each other: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CNTHHJW7/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_9?smid=AQ751C7OJM1AW&psc=1

I usually prefer sleeves over cases.

sleeves are for carrying around, personally I want a solid black hard case, not a see-through logo showcase. looks like the only decent option is some leather make, but at 150, it's the student discount gone.

Got it.

I’m not into cases yet. I use a fitted leather sleeve.
