Hello all,
Long time reader, first time poster here. Thank you all for the many posts I have read in the past that have helped me resolve issues!
I just purchased a 2013 15" rMBP. I am looking for a very solid case for protecting it. I travel a lot for my work, and am often in dirty construction sites, mechanical rooms, etc. After much research, I have found that the Pelican Cases the best protection there is. I am not worried very much about the weight of the case, as I will sacrifice having to carry a couple extra pounds for knowing my rMBP is safe and sound!
I have seen a couple people that have squeezed a 15" MBP into the Pelican Case 1085 (or 1085cc), however the Pelican website recommends the 1095 (or 1095cc) for 15" laptops.
1. Any experience or feedback concerning the fit in either of these cases?
2. Recommendations concerning the "cc" version with the "laptop liner" or the standard version with the pick & pluck foam?
3. Were modifications needed for a secure fit to keep the MBP from moving around in the case?
4. Recommendations other than the Pelican Case that would achieve similar degree of protection?
I have searched the forum already for answers to my questions to no avail. Thank you in advance for your feedback!
