What type of case do you recommend for a 13in Macbook Pro?

I'm looking for a good hard case that will cover my macbook and prevent it from scratches/hand prints. Any good recomendations? I'm also looking for like a slip in neoprone case, maybe? I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks! :)
 
I am going to get the Incase Neoperon sleeve and probably the Speck satin see thru in black.
 
Get a bag with a decent padded pocket. Hard cases are a joke (they don't do any better a job of protecting the computer than a soft one) and the "sleeves" are pointless when you can get a bag which has a nice pocket.
 
I have a BestSkinsEver clear coating, Moshi Clearguard keyboard cover, Speck SeeTHRU Satin (black) hardcase, and an Incase 13" Nylon Sleeve Plus. Excessive, I know.

If you want to just protect it against scratches, perhaps get a BestSkinsEver/Invisible shield coating set ($25-$50, can be a pain to put on if you don't have steady hands) and any soft sleeve or bag with built-in sleeve. If you want some minor dent protection you can get a hardcase like the Spec Seethru or Incase hardshell case (be careful though if there is a little dust between the case and the Macbook it can actually cause scratches!). Be aware that the hardshell cases do add a decent amount of bulk and weight to the laptop.

Pointless? That would depend on what you need the case for. For me, I put my INCASE Sleeve inside my North Face backpack which also has a dedicated slot for laptops. With the INCASE Sleeve protecting the MacBook Pro, I have a lot less to worry about compared to just putting in my MBP directly in my backpack without other protection.

So yea... pointless? You're pointless.

Sorry.... people like you just upset me.
 
I had bought *-Suede Jacket Sleeve- -MacBook Fit- -Black when i first purchased my uMB 13''.

I have never used my case. In fact I never felt any need. I paid 37 including shipping.

If you want i can give it to you for 20. You can search the case reviews on macrumors.
