I've just ordered my new 16-inch Macbook Pro, but I wonder: Aren't there any cases or sleeves for the new Macbook Pros yet?
 
At least, we could post here some links of sites or good brands, where we wait for these cases to appear.
 
you could probably just use one designed for the old 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro, since the old and new 16-inch MBP appear to have almost the same form factor
and the 2019 fits in a sleeve that fit a 2012 15" MBP, with room to spare for my Samsung Tab S7 in a Samsung book cover...

Actually - that sleeve MAY have been for the 2013 15" Retina, but the 2012 squeezed in...
 
it’s probably the one benefit of not haven’t a launch day delivery… you have a bit more time to search for a sleeve/bag…

just like for my last MacBook I have trouble finding something…
I think I would like something slim and I think I would prefer something without zipper…
right now I have no idea…

And most of the sleeves I have seen so far, are missing just a tiny little bit to fit… don’t know how „true“ those insides measurements are….
 
I have ordered one of these for my 14"


Expensive (shipping to Australia and currency conversion it came to $200 AUD 😭 ) but the quality is fantastic.

I'd been looking at Waterfield for a little while (actually didn't hear about them until the AirPods Max came out and they released a very nice carrying case that I still want but haven't purchased yet). Ordered the horizontal black with piggy back and carrying strap for the 14" and 16" M1 variants. Hopefully I can cancel the size I don't end up wanting next Tuesday, before they ship.
 
Wondering this as well, I'd like to get a nice rugged case to put on the 16". I'd be paranoid using it when out and about.
 
I bought one of these

I'm happy this one exists at least, but I want a fully closed case with a zipper, ideally (splash) waterproof.

Like, if some spills a cup of coffee over my MacBook while it's in its case, I want it to be fine.

Yeah I'd prefer a zipped, waterproof sleeve similar to what you're describing. I ordered the neoprene sleeve in the interim because it was only 40 bucks and I need something to protect my computer whilst its in my messenger bag (which doesn't have a dedicated, padded laptop section). In the future as more accessories come out I will look into different sleeves similar to what my current MBP uses.

Yeah, makes sense

Wow, thanks for this! I had never heard of Waterfield. I ended up ordering the Dash sleeve but I would have never found it without this link. Looks like a very cool company and this will probably not be my last order.

I’ve been spending all too much money since discovering them a few months ago…

They are a great company with great products. I have their sleeve for my 2019 16" made out of suede. They discontinued it and now have the neoprene. The suede one still fits the new 2021 16", and it is so thin it serves my purpose perfectly (putting the MBP in may carry on on a compartment). I cancelled the neoprene for now. Every product from Waterfield I have owned (and I have several) are excellent. They Customer Service is also excellent.
