I'm getting my 15" 512 SSD Matte MBP soon and I'm wondering what some good cases and sleeves are? I'm looking for something that would give good protection (so no Neoprene).
The black speck satin case looks nice, do any of those types of 'cases' provide any protection or are they almost all for aesthetic use?
Soon i will be getting a Mac(i think) and was wondering about a case. Since i want a Macbook Pro with the Unibody Housing i want it to be safe. Now i can't decide if i want a case or a Sleeve. Now the Case might have heat issues even with the vents that are on the case. The sleeve won't have that issue but will it be more prone to scratching the Macbook it self? Or should i go no case and just sorta deal with the scratches. There is a Price difference between the Sleeve and the Case. About $20 Cdn more for the Case.

We are currently in the design, development and prototyping stages or creating sleeves specifically for the MacBook Pro line and what to know what exactly it is that you guys, as consumers are looking for.
One thing we're looking to do, is NOT utilize a zipper - or metal of any type. As users ourselves, we've experience scratched cases first hand, not traveling that route.
We're looking to launch, using some fantastic full-grain leathers that we've been fortunate enough to source given our vast experience in the footwear & apparel materials industry. I think you'd find the quality to equal that of some "designer" hand bag companies - with the added costs.
So.......lets have it.....what do you guys like.....and just as important - what do you not like?
I was thinking of purchasing a sleeve and/ or cover for my macbook pro. So far I have found these on Ebay:

I'm looking for a sleeve case that can take a few bumps, but smaller than a briefcase type bag.
I was just wondering whats the best case/sleeve to buy for a 13" MBP.
I want one that prevents scratches and dings but also keeps my MBP safe from water since ill be using this laptop for college and most likely will take it in a backpack soaking in rain.
I'm not sure what case to buy for my 13" Macbook Pro. I want to be able to hold a mouse, charger, itouch and possibly a CD holder. I would prefer something under $40 too.
View 11 Replies View RelatedOk, so my MBP 13" is in it's bright orange hard case, and I wanted to get a snazzy (preferably neoprene) sleeve with handles to tote it around in, and wondering WHAT SIZE bag to get for it to fit in with the hard case. Do I get a bag made for the 15" even if it's a little big? Not really worried about protection since I do have the hard case, just transport.

Oh, and manilla envelopes don't count.
I'm going to be going to grad school in the Fall and I have to walk across campus several times a day. The only case I have found is the SF Waterfield sleevecase. I spoke with a rep. there and she told me that the bag is water resistant, but that water could still get into the opening, even with a flap. Any owners of the bag have any experience in the wet weather with this case? I really like the case, just don't want to risk my investment or my data.

Perhaps more than one of the above?
I'm assuming most if not all the sleeve cases for the MBP are for the old model. Considering the new model is thinner and a tad bit wider, the sleeves currently available obviously wont suffice.
Any ideas if there are any out there yet?? Where should I look? ebay? apple store?
I got my refurbed 2.4 unibody MB less than 2 weeks ago and just took it to the Apple Store because the very far right side of my spacebar stopped working, and I had a few slanted keys in various places on the keyboard too. The genius at the store told me they needed to replace the top case (metal chassis w/keyboard & trackpad built-in?) and it would take 3-5 days.Anybody else had problems with slanted keys OTHER than the function row? Anybody else had a top case replacement for this or other reasons?I'm nervous that I'm going to get my MB back and the new top case will be installed crooked or worse than the old one. Or the hard drive will be wiped and I'll have to re-install all my programs and iTunes/iPhoto libraries. I was loving the MB, with the spacebar failure being the only real problem... worried it's going to come back more messed up than it was. Am I just being paranoid?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was wanting to know how hard it is to change top and bottom case and keyboard area? I would like to know that if anything was to happen to my soon to have macbook I could change it. Also this on the older macbooks. And if I have Apple to change it how much would it cost? And yes I know that they should replace keyboard case area for free because of the defunct cracking issue.

View 11 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if the PB 15.4 Aluminum case is exchangeable with the Macbook Pro 15.4 case? I have a 1.6Ghz Powerbook which has a few dents in the front but I don't see any of these cases for sale on Ebay, but I do see Macbook Pro cases. It's really a nasty cosmetic issue I'd like to resolve and then sell it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on restoring a Time Machine backup from Leopard to a clean installation of Snow Leopard. The only problem I'm facing is that the Leopard backup is on a case-sensitive drive (and the Snow Leopard drive is set up, by default, as case-ignorant).
I have scoured the Web the last two days and have not found a definitive answer to my question: Is there a way to transfer the data from the Time Machine backup on the case-sensitive drive to the case-ignorant Snow Leopard drive?
Yesterday I ran across a tutorial explaining how this might be accomplished using SuperDuper! but a commenter explained that Disk Utility could be used and was much easier.
I tried the Disk Utility method but it didn't work, and I ran out of time to give the SuperDuper! option a try. Does anyone know if it, or even Carbon Copy Cloner, might solve my problem?
This?

They both cost the same and both look like they offer good protection. They also don't look too ugly either. Anyway's if any of you people know. Will either of them scratch my MBP? And which do you think I should get?
Does anyone know of any decent-ish sleeves that would fit the new MBA 11.6" and provide decent levels of protection.... or is it to early for any to be on the market?

I know theres a million threads about sleeves, so all I can say is I looked through many
basically I'm looking for the 13 MBA equivalent of this for the MBP:

Something well padded and somewhat rigid so I could throw it in my backpack or briefcase, with a pocket that could hold small stuff (hdmi cable, iphone cord, earbuds)
anything like that for an air? or would you not be concerned about the extra space in that guy designed for a MBP
i just asked my younger brother today what he might want for xmas, and he was telling me that his 15" pre-unibody macbook pro gets really cold on his drives to and from school (30 minute trip). he said he has a cheap case for it but whenever he gets his mbp out after his drive it won't turn on for a while until it warms up.
he was wondering if i could find some kind of insulated sleeve for his 15".
is that the solution? any recommendations on what brand to get?
I'm pretty sure this has been talked to death but I can't find the answer.
I'm looking for a bare minimum neoprene or otherwise sleeve for my 11.6 MBA.
No second pockets, no carry strap, It doesn't even need to close. I just want to slip it in and then put it in another bag that doesn't have a padded slot.
I am interested in buying a sleeve for my 15" unibody mbp.
I really liked the look of the Neoprene sleeve plus by incase but I can't find any shop that ships in Europe. Have anyone purchased this in Europe?
Also, are there any 15" sleeves with shoulder straps, similar to the incase one that you would recommend?
