so that would be the best bet? i don't want to have to worry if i have a sleeve and it in a well padded area in a backpack. i won't be throwing it around but just with normal wear. sitting it down and picking it back up. i just wanna go the extra mile and make sure it is well protected....we all know we didn't get our mbp cheap

I absolutely love this one. I own several ThinkTank cases/bags for camera gear and they are the best. This is a case but it's more like a sleeve with an extra pocket and strap. It' a super slim messenger bag. It fits my 15" MBP perfectly - no wiggle room

Edit: forgot to mention you can carry the power adapter in the pocket.

that looks very nice. already have a bag though and looking for just a sleeve for that extra protection! thanks for then link though. would def get that if i didn't have a bag
 
I haven't seen the Taipan in person, just the Vyper...which I have. I think the Taipan is just neoprene (think wetsuit), whereas the Vyper is a semi-hard fiber case. It's actually hard enough I'm using it as a lapdesk while sitting on the couch with my wife and kid.
The interior is fairly thickly padded. There is also a canvas bead that goes around the rim and protects the computer from the zippers.


And I think I got it from Amazon.

I have one criticism;

I really wish it had a canvas loop, or D-ring. Something I could attach a lanyard or carry strap to. Sometimes I do need hands-free when walking around and juggling my coffee or whatever.

EDIT: And yes, just the std black, no GTR.

i went ahead and ordered the GTR. can't wait. want me to cost pictures and do a review for you guys?
 
Sure, I think it would be good to share. I was tempted by the GTR, but chickened out. I use my laptop in a corporate environment and like to blend in, not stick out. Black goes with everything. ;-)
 
Vyper M3 Case for my 15" MBP. Fits snug and been great. Had it for 2 months now. Worth the money imo
