Anyone got one of these Neoprone sleeves? Thinking of getting one for my MBP arriving next week as I heard they scratch easily. Just want a thinnish one as I need it to fit inside a 15.4" laptop bag.

Incase Neoprene Sleeve.

It's the best sleeve if you intend on slipping it in a bag :)

I've had one with my 17" MBP, the liner is a soft cotton so it's a very protective from scratches.

I wouldn't go as far as saying the MBP scratches easily though.

All the reviews on the apple store say that whilst the 13.3 and 17 inch Incase Sleeves are a good fit, the 15 inch one isn't :(

I can't comment, as I had the 17" (I still have the sleeve! :rolleyes: ), but if you live by an Apple store it may be worth checking them out.

I'd imagine they'd have them in stock as it's a popular case.

I have one for my 15" MBP, it fits fine, it's just a bit too tall.

I really recommend one though, great cases.

Perfect!! Do you think the sleeve is thin enough that the whole thing would still fit in a laptop bag that is designed for a 15.4 laptop?

It sounds silly, but the sleeve doesn't add bulk, but it feels like it will protect it (not from drops!) very well!

The best way to describe it would be to call it a snug-wetsuit fit.
 
I have the Be-Ez La Robe sleeve for my MacBook and it does a good job of protecting it. I just pop it in the sleeve and throw it in my backpack. This sleeve feels more like a dense foam which i think protects from small knocks pretty well.
 
I've got the 17" MBP and an Incase but it's a bit obsolete now because I've just got a Crumpler Pretty Boy Backpack. I also had a Zoomiverse before swapping it for the Pretty Boy and both are advertised as fitting the 17" widescreen MBP. They do both fit the Laptop but not the Laptop and Incase so if your bag is advertised as fitting the 15" as a maximum I would double check it first.

Anyone want a 17" Incase? (Tries to steal the market away from EVH).

^ How is that Crumpler bag Pan? I've had my eye on it for a while but seeing as it's for 17" I fear it's a little too big for my 15" MBP. Do you mind taking a few pictures of it for me?
 
*Shady eyes at Panzerbjorn* lol

I had the La Robe case for my 17", it just didn't seem to fit properly (around the corners).

It felt like the zip was touching the case of the MBP unless you really pushed it in (that's why I got rid of it)
