I've been using an incase neoprene sleeve for my iPad Air 2. I'm looking for something similar for my iPad Pro (don't have it yet, it's being delivered next week), but incase doesn't have them available yet.

I'm considering getting the sleeve they have for the MB 13".

Anyone using a sleeve for their Pro they really like?

The iPad Pro is too large, in my opinion, for you to hold it like an Air 2. You'll want something like the Apple Smart Cover to prop it up. I haven't seen anything better than the Smart Cover + silicone case from Apple. It's a joyous, albeit expensive, solution.
 
Ditto on incase 13" neoprene sleeve -- I used one for the first few days I had my iPad Pro and it worked well enough. Still pretty roomy, but offers decent protection. I left the foam insert in it, BTW.

Today I decided to get the silicone case and smart cover combo, and then stick in a leather messenger bag I have. I think I am happier overall with this solution.

I'm still hoping I can use it similarly to how I use my Air 2. I've played with the Pro a few times in the Apple Stores, so I have a reasonable idea of its heft and weight. I don't have any kind of case on my Air 2 (just the smart cover), and that's the way I prefer it. Cuts down on the weight and lets me feel the device every time I hold it, move it, adjust it, etc. It makes it a bit more intimate, I think. Anyway, works for me.

I'm hoping to use my iPad Pro similarly (no case, just the Smart Cover -- followed by the Smart Keyboard once it arrives in mid-December). I'll have to judge things once I've used it for a few weeks.

I really think you'll have trouble holding the iPad Pro for any extended period of time, but only time will tell!

Understood. :) But, I don't really hold my Air 2 for any extended period of time today. I don't see this is a big change in how I'd use my iPad.
