MacBook Pro 13" case

aleco · 15 Jul 2009 at 00:47

I was looking for a case for my 13" macbook pro a couple of weeks ago, but then went on holiday. One of the cases I was looking at had like an inner sleeve which would protect it from the zip and also stop it accidentally slipping out of the case.

However, I can't seem to find it now on the Apple store, and have no idea who it was buy to look them up directly. Does anyone have any idea which case this was? :confused:

Also, any other recommendations for cases? I'd like a slim one I can slip into my bag, but was also half-tempted by one with handles which can be folded away just in case i didn't need my bag.

Can't think which one you were looking at, but as far as other recommendations for cases go, I've got a Crumpler Gimp at the moment and that's been pretty good this last few years.

Not sure if it's the one you mean but the incase sleeve I use with my whitebook has a lip on the inside of the zip to stop it rubbing against the laptop.

Yep, the incase has it but i got the Larobe, also on the apple store. Which is a fine case, but uses memory foam. Seems fine to me but other than that then the incase would be the one to go for. In fact i would probably recommend the incase if you will be using the case frequently because I havent used my Larobe that much and its got a tear where the zip has caught something.

I had a black/white Larobe when I first got my macbook, the white bit got dirty too easily imho, otherwise it was fine.

Thanks for the suggestions - unfortunately it was none of those! It's just disappeared from the site totally. It was like a neoprene zippered case with an elasticated lip on the inside you could slip over the laptop edges to stop it falling out when open and stop the zipper from scratching it. So I've given up and gone for the Contour sleeve instead:

I'll just be transporting it in my bag so will hopefully provide enough protection, and doesn't have a zip to cause problems!

Say hello to a dented macbook lid if you decide to keep your charger in the case like that!

Yeah think I might avoid doing that! It'll be transported in a JanSport backpack so the charger will go in the front compartment of that and the laptop in the case in the main compartment at the back, but will prob store the apple remote in the case as I can see myself losing it very quickly otherwise :-/
