Any ideas about good notebook sleeves for the 15" Macbook Pro? It does not need to have handles, and I'm not looking for a messenger bag. It just needs to protect the machine enough so that it doesn't scratched when I place it in a backpack. (I have zippers in mind, but I'm open to ideas.) I prefer something around $20 if possible, but I realize they go for much higher?
Got a tip for us?

I've the Crumpler School Hymn 15" for about 4 months now. Works great, no problems.
Don't believe the price on the Crumpler website -- I was able to find it for about half that cost at my campus retailer, so shop around.

I have been using this sleeve for awhile now. It served me good so far. If you need to put it as a sleeve you can because its small enough. Or you can use it as a standalone since it have a strap. For some reason, it's not feature on timbuk2 website though.

I really like my Tucano MicroFibra SecondSkin (via here).
It has much more of a snug fit than the crumpler, and I like the texture. Around $30.

Ditto on this. Absolutely bomb-proof, and made with great care. Every Waterfield item I've purchased has come with a handwritten note thanking me for my order. Genuine customer service from these folks, and their products are superb. 🙂

It's not really ideal for sliding in a rucksack, but I have a Samsonite Laptop Pillow Lp Eva Shuttle.

Seriously, you are doing yourself a disservice if you buy anything other than the ZeroShock III - 15" Widescreen Notebook Sleeve. The ZeroShocks are, hands down, the best protective sleeve you can buy. I NEVER buy a laptop without one.
