Macbook Pro sleeve, which one?

Looks nice, but in my opinion slightly too thin....I wouldn't feel too secure about it...
I love the way the Incase fit the Macbook, but was not impressed with the fit for the MBP, and it was returned. Too much slack.
I think there is a new model from booq (start shipping on Nov 25 ) that is supposed to fit well the new mbp, at least is supposed to be designed for it( the dimensions are 14.35x9.82x1.00"). The price was almost 30$. I don't know about the quality of the booq´s sleeves but looks ok...
For my MBP Unibody, I went with the Tucano Second Skin for 15.4. This is a glove like fit... no slop at at all. Is a microfiber outside, foam center, soft inner. Comes with a keyboard microfiber cover.

Where did you buy this? apple.com, amazon.com? do they have their own website?
After my notebook compeletely died from being dropped even with the most protective (Zeroshock III) sleeve on it, I don't think it's safe to trust a sleeve to protect your laptop from ANY drops. Use it to prevent scratches and whatnot, and just be careful around your notebook.
Agreed. Those thin wetsuit like cases provide marginally better protection when compared to thin sleeves. I just went with the thinnest sleeve to really just act as a form of scratch protection...
Does any one have this Case Logic neoprene sleeve? ---> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017Q6G5Y/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=electronics
Some say it's bigger than a 15.4" laptop....and I would prefer a perfect fit for a MBP....

I assume what you have is this exact one?

I just want to double check because the unibody MBP dimensions are larger than those listed for this case, so I just want to make sure it's the same because I really like that the zipper is lined to prevent zipper scratches
I'll make the recommendation I always do. I've had one of these for several years for my 12" Powerbook and it looks like new. I got one with a flap for my GlassBook and its awesome too.

Can anyone else confirm that the Tucano Second Skin Microfiber Script sleeve does indeed fit the Unibody MacBook Pro? I've heard mixed answers.
Check this one out, I've got it for my uMBP. I can recommend it!
Bought here, a little down the page
Yes this is the same sleeve as the one that I purchased. I purchased at Fry's and they were out of stock on the grey so I choose the mustard yellow one. This is after they had stock on the Unibody MBP so that I could test fit it in the store. There is enough streach in the cover that I can zip it with out dragging the zipper body on the machine.

Greetings - I was wondering if anyone else has purchased the Tucano sleeves for the Unibody Pro and if there was a vendor that they had used other than Frys? It seems to be a reasonable sleeve for basic protection inside a bag and for light travel.
Not to be an ass or anything, but googling Tucano Second Skin case is probably the way to go.
