Hi guys

am i right in thinking i can purchase 13 inch mac book (pro or air?) carry cases/sleeves that will happily fit my new ipad pro? i'm looking for a case to carry my new ipad in when out and about, and i know the usual amount of after sales solutions havent yet hit the market.

what about leather and carry cases? again, will 13inch mac book bag be a solution?
 
Check out Amazon. They have quite a few. Here is what I've noticed though . . . the cases/sleeves for the MacBook Pro 13" are a little loose on the iPad Pro. I went with the iPad Pro specific sleeves/cases (ordered from Amazon).
 
I don't think anything on the market has a super perfect yet, it could take at least a month or two for those higher quality ones to come out.

On the other hand, why not just use apple silicon case + cover/keyboard cover, or just the Logitech case/keyboard case, they offer pretty good protection as well.you should be fine unless you drop it from like 6 7 feet or higher
 
I have the apple silicon case and apple smart keyboard. I carry it in my backpack. I have a laptop size backpack with a section designed to hold laptops. It is big enough to carry my work laptop and my ipad in the same section.

For the pencil, I got a staples stick on pen holder, and stuck it to the top of the keyboard cover (when closed).

Yes, probably worth a short wait, as i dont like the logitech design in the slightest. It's got a pretty good (and strangely accurate) protection tollerence if it allows me to safely drop it up to 67 feet as well!
 
Very happy with the Incase sling sleeve bought from Apple store about 7 years ago. Have used it with Thinkpads, Surface Pro 3 and 4 and it has space left that is probably a near perfect fit for iPP. One of the pockets have separate pen holders for the pencil. Only difference is my older model has a velcro flap vs zipper front. Has held up very well to wear and still looks new. Best to go to an Apple store and try it out.

All great suggestions! It didn't occur to me that most of the 13" MacBook sleeves would fit the iPad Pro lol. Duh...
