I have the incase 13" neoprene sleeve and it fits my unibody macbook with the speck hard shell case on it very snugly, it also slides in the compartment in my laptop bag with ease. I would strongly recommend it.

I've been looking for one too. I like the Applesac or Waterfield sleeves and am unsure what I want.. I already have an STM bag and wondering if I want a basic sleeve like the waterfield or go applesac to have the extra compartment if I wanted to just carry that on days.
I got an orange Zeroshock with an outer pocket. Zeroshocks protected my powerbooks from six foot falls in the past, they rock.
I have a 2.4 uni MB and the Booq Taipan S. I like the sleeve, it fits nicely and it's one of the only ones out right now that is designed for the new aluminum macbooks.
Incase and Tucano have not done a redesign yet, they're lazy. If you buy an Incase or a Tucano you're essentially buying a sleeve for the old plastic white MB.
Here is a link to a quick review I did for the Booq Taipan S, it's also got some big pictures for detail;

I like the memory foam sleeve on Ebay. The memory foam seems to be very protective and the fit is excellent. It cost $9 shipped from HK.

Zeroshocks, and all the similar impact-absorbing foam sleeves are the best. I doubt I'd physically break my machine even if I were to throw it. Seriously.
However, AppleSac's are cute. For many people, they only need a certain level of protection since not everyone is paranoid enough to prepare for every unexpected incident, and AppleSacs appear to be good enough, just like neoprene sleeves are just good enough.
I am getting an AppleSac, just for basic abrasion protection when I'm moving it around the dorm.
thanks!
All of the recommendations are great. Looking at the zeroshock, the sf bags, the neoprene and the wrapper sleeves...Thanks!
