Recommend me a good sleeve for a Macbook.

i wouldn't recommend incase, its good but only for the plastic macbook. It fits the alu macbook really loosely. Maybe try the incase case for macbook air, or go for the contour reversible, this is what i use and love it. Its a really good tight fit!
Pink InCase for 13"
I had a Tucano (black) with the cable pouch for my 12" Powerbook and it was awesome!
I got it on eBay for like $20!!! But this was YEARS ago.
This time I bought an inCase (in Pink) and I love it!
The inside is made of the coolest material. Fuzzy, almost--but not "linty"!
(and it allows me to be a little bit expressive--y'know, since it's pink!)
I'm very happy with the tucano sleeve with the accessory pouch.

Fabrixcases.com has some cases that are customizeable and zipperless.

I have an incase sleeve, but I just spilled wax all over it, this time I think i'm going to try Apple Sacs.
I am selling my black Applesac for the aluminum macbooks , it's new $20 shipped to your door

I have the original burlap Applesac and I love it. FInding something environmentally friendly was a priority for me.
Also, if you want something custom and/or handmade, there are a ton on etsy.com in different fabrics and styles, and supporting individual crafters is always a good thing.

I went with the fabrix Black Suit DELUXE for my Alu Macbook, it comes with an outside pocket to hold your adapter, ipod , and apple remote...
should be here by my birthday!!
That's exactly what I'm getting.
+1 on the incase neoprene. Bought it as soon as my alum macbook came in the mail. Zero scratches, and the padding behind the zipper is a very nice touch for people who worry about scratching up their gadgets.
To all those AppleSac lovers, are the "horror" stories about the sherpa fleece really true? Or just hogwash? I'm falling in love with that Red Delicious...
foof
EDIT: If the AppleSac's lining is anything like the fleece lining in the foofbags, they won't shed at all. Also, the foofbags are 100% environmentally friendly too, like the AppleSacs. Of course, that also means they take a long time to ship, as foof sends them out in a truck, driving it's way over the ocean bottom.

Some of them do have more dust/loose fleece than others. I ran over mine with a lint roller when I got them and I haven't ever had any trouble. I guess if you were really worried, you could clean it with a lint roller or some tape weekly, it would only take a minute to do and you'd have peace of mind.
My favorite thing about Etsy is, since it's a ton of individual crafters, new ones pop up ALL THE TIME. I go and search "MacBook" every few days just to see what's new. I think it's the best choice for anyone who REALLY wants something unique.
My current favorites are the ones fashioned out of old coffee bags. Next time I have an excuse to buy a new sleeve, I want one of those!
Awesome!!!
glad I could help. They are from singapore so it will take a while ( 2-3 weeks ) but I think it will be worth it!www.fabrixcases.com ( in case you don't know the website )

nuts I woulda jumped on this but ordered a hemp Applesac a couple days ago from amazon for $30 shipped, oh well I had amazon credit =) why are you selling btw?
anyway I came in here to suggest applesac only b/c they look awesome, but I have yet to use mine.
As for tucano, I used one on my old HP notebook, I liked it a lot, plus the extra bag was very nice. But I'm staying away from zippers now and I like the enviro friendly sleeves
