I'm thinking of getting the new 13-inch MacBook Pro soon, but I'm wondering about cases and bags. I was looking around (not hard, and only online thus far), but I haven't stumbled upon and sleeves with handles. The Incase Sleeve Plus is still too big and bulky (strictly speaking, I mean appearance, not actual size and weight; one without a flap going over it, just a zipper).
It look a LOT like the Macbook. It even has that glass screen cover. Edit: Look like it does not actually. Here's a better picture:

I have a 15" MacBook Pro 2.5GHz (Penryn) model. I pulled a super drive from a 17" (A1229) MBP but it's the larger version. Never the less, it still kinda fits in my 15" MBP.

Wondering if its possible to connect my xbox to my macbook pro and store the game on the computers hd and have the xbox 360 recognize it and still function through my xbox and tv. In essence as an external drive while still having full function.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a 17" MBP and need a case for it. I want more protection than a neoprene sleeve, but don't need a full-fledged work bag (I already have one). I really like the style and protection of the Booq Vyper XL2, but it has no shoulder strap. I am really afraid I would end up dropping it, as I usually have my hands full on the way to/from work.
I just installed a 160gb Gen2 Intel in my 15" macbook pro, and its flooring me with its speed. Amazing upgrade. All editors, designers, etc... should do this upgrade.
Optibay Alternative ----
Now I want to put another SSD in there for Raid0 or just the stock 500gb for now.. for storage.. but the cost of the Optibay is pretty high. I saw a link to an alternative, called USCaddy or something, I forgot. Can someone link that one in, and comment if its ok?
Slim Superdrive Enclosure -----
And what are people putting their old superdrives in? I want something slim lined, USB bus powered.. etc... Any comments on one that works really well and looks cool
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.

I have just purchased a Toshiba Stor.E Slim hard drive, which I do not require for Time Machine back ups. Should I use the Tuxera NTFS driver, or should I format the hard drive for Mac? Is any benefit over formatting vs using the driver? I pretty much use Macs all the time, but there may be rare occasions when it would be useful to hook up to a PC.

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?
See title.What are you using for a case/sleeve?

I know theres a million threads about sleeves, so all I can say is I looked through many

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?
Something I can put my MBP in while I place it in my backpack. 15-inch MBP
View 22 Replies View RelatedHey guys, I was just wondering what sleeve/case (if any) you use to carry your MBP around? I was looking at the neoprene cases available on the apple website, but from the comments, it seems that the discolouring seemed to be pretty common for these cases.
Any recommendations?
What features are most important to you guys in purchasing a case or sleeve for your MacBook Pro's?
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:

Both look reasonably priced, and the first link looks simliar to the one that Apple sells.
Just looking for opinions or reviews.

I'm looking for a sleeve case that can take a few bumps, but smaller than a briefcase type bag.
I am about to pull the trigger on either a booq Taipan Skin S or the Vyper XS2. I have an Aluminum 2.4 Macbook. I usually sleep my MB overnight and when I'm not using it, I usually shut it down about twice a week, but in the mean time it sleeps. Can the MB overheat when it's sleeping in its sleeve?
The only reason I ask that question is because there was a disclaimer on the Booq Vyper XS2 page;
Quote:
Note: The surface of the MacBook is sensitive and discolors easily. In special cases, when the white MacBook has been left running for an extended time in the Vyper XS2, discoloration can occur. Apple expressly advises that you work on a surface with adequate airflow because the MacBook gets very warm during normal use. When warm, avoid working on dyed surfaces, because of potential discoloration of the lower surface of the MacBook. We do not take responsibility for potential discoloration of your MacBook.
I think they mean specifically for the old white and black MBs, but I was just curious. Has anyone had experience or heard of MBs overheating while sleeping in their sleeves?
And besides that, does anyone have experiences with either of these sleeves? I've heard good things. I'll put it in my backpack, so I'm deciding whether or not the extra $10 is worth it for the Vyper over the Taipan.

View 24 Replies View RelatedI 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.
