Very nice!

One question on the fit. Is it tight enough that you have to pull the entire sleeve out of your bag to put it in and take it out, or can you slip the MacBook in and out without holding onto the case?

I think you would have to take out of your bag. You really need to hold onto the case to pull the MB in and out.............which I think is a plus but depends upon your viewpoint I guess!
 
This thread is getting quite long so apologies if I missed this already being discussed... But does anyone have the Hard Graft Laptop Folio for their new rMB? I think I saw it mentioned in this thread somewhere (long thread!), but I'd love to see some user photos of it. I like the ocean blue coloured one, I think it could look ultra chic with my (just ordered) silver rMB even if it's really really expensive.

On their site, they have pretty good photos but you really only see the front side with the leather pouch. I'd love to see more angles of it, like the rear side for a start..!
 
Got my Joli Limited Edition case yesterday guys. What a sexy, sexy piece of kit. Fits like a love, smells like a ferrari and the hand-written note is so cool! joli-2.jpgjoli-3.jpgjoli.jpg
 
Just got this one delivered today. Cost just £18 from Etsy, and a few £££ postage from Japan. Really impressed with it. Fits absolutely beautifully. No gaps, no tightness – height or width.

Just ordered myself one of these - looks pretty great for the price!
 
For anyone who has bought a Cocones sleeve... how long did it take to ship and be delivered to the US? Are you happy with the purchase?
 
Just got done applying my Eevee decal and Spigen Incredible Shield, just waiting on my ColcaSac sleeve

I don't like sleeves because I have no place for the charger.

I love the decal, where did you find it? :D
Is it the Gold MB? I like the way it its color change with the light... and it doesn't help me to choose my future MB color :p
 
I keep my air in a Saddleback Leather sleeve, which then goes in my briefcase. Since the new rMB is so close in size to the 11" air, I'm pretty sure it will fit, since the sleeve is nice and soft and has stretched a tad.
 
Looks so good. Do you know if grey + black is a good combo ? I don't love red colour.

I think it would be pretty smart - I think they grey and black would be perfect for a space grey rMB. I love the smooth grey leather the Joli is made from.

Which I see from your signature is exactly what you have!

Arrived today - very happy with it. Really nicely made, with a good amount of padding too.

As an aside, is it OK to charge your MB while in a sleeve, or best not to?

Ooh, can't wait for mine to reach, ordered the same sleeve.

I wouldn't recommend charging with the laptop inside the case. I read in another post somebody doing it and it overheated the laptop overnight. Too much of a risk hazard for me.

After reading through all 24 pages, I've narrowed down my choices to the Joli Originals and Mint Cases Sleeves in smooth leather.

Would appreciate any thoughts on the relative build quality of these to cases.
 
As more time passes there should be other cases hitting the market. I personally liked the Joli cases. I haven't bought one yet but simple fits the bill for me.
