I'm looking for a sleeve for my new Retina MBP. First I can't seem to find any that are made for the Retina model (all the them are just MBP cases that they say are compatible with the Retina model...). Also I want something that doesn't have zippers, for my 13" MBA I have one that looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/Incase-Neoprene-Sleeve-Macbook-11-Inch/dp/B004J19IPE

Is there anything like that for the 15"?

I think you might be best waiting a little while for more cases to come out that are 'designed for retina'
 
if you have the money I would spend it on waterfields sleeves from sfbags.com I already use one for my Air and I just order one for my RMBP. They might not be the prettiest sleeves and they cost about 30% more then some other brands but they are the thinnest with the most protection I have ever use and I've been though dozens from my other macbook days.

So far it seems to be my favourite (maybe except for the joli leather one...but I'm not spending that much on a sleeve...)

Wow yikes, that is pricey. I don't do leather so accessories are generally cheaper, I just have to search around for them.
 
Sleeves on Etsy

I thought this one looked very nice:

The price seems reasonable as well - I'm thinking about ordering one. The regular MBP is featured in the pictures, but the description states that it'll be made for the rMBP unless you explicitly request the regular MBP version.
 
WaterField is the best! Very well made. I have review posted if anyone is thinking of buying.
 
WaterField

I do adore the WaterField gear as well... Their stuff is top notch! I'd gotten one of their sleeves for a PowerBook G4 12" back in the day - it was great.

I really dig the HardCase and CitySlicker cases (not a sleeve), but they're pretty pricey.

Nice sleeve. I'm looking at this one too. Did you go with the vertical or horizontal orientation? I use a backpack, so I'm thinking vertical is the way to go for me. Does it matter?

I decided to go with the horizontal orientation since I will mostly be just carrying it around under my arm, I figured the vertical orientation would be awkward in this regard.

I got an email from them a few days ago to let me know they received their rMBP and were going to do some sizing and get them going out the door - very nice customer service touch imo.
 
the guys at easy seem to be slapping a 'for retina' sticker on their normal stock...

I'm waiting for one that fits retina and nothing else..
