which funky macbook sleeve?

SooTyLaD · 15 Nov 2007 at 17:25

i've seen a few offerings when it comes to those funky little macbook sleeves... be.ez, tuscano, incase...

anyone shed any light on which is the best? i havn't got time to go to an apple shop before i get my macbook so would like some feedback from people who've already made the choice

I chose the Tucano, it's a softer and lighter thing that's more suited to protecting from scratches rather than knocks. I just needed it for slipping into my rucksack and it does that perfectly well

I use an Incase Neoprene sleeve which is pretty good.

Same.

@ OP; You know, all the threads you've started have all been covered before.. it might not hurt to search

pretty much every question on any forum has been asked before, if you googled summat for long enough you will always find an answer but wheres the fun in that

i like the banter

besides which i have read the mac forum on ocuk from back to front, my questions were probably a bit more specific that ones previously answered... maybe not in this case though i'll grant...

These Incase Neoprene sleeve, are they the ones you have to buy from the US ? @ $35 ?

Also, do you think they would fit a 13" Toshiba laptop ? (sorry to mention that)

EDIT, the site im on sais they only delivery to US

Nah I got mine from the UK Apple store. Let me have a look.

@Toshiba laptop. The sleeve is a SNUG fit with the MacBook so the laptop must have very similar dimensions. The material itself is quite elastic so you might be able to squeeze a fatter laptop in there, but certainly not a wider or deeper one.

Thats the one I have, although I dont remember it being that pricey(!) I must have bought it with the MacBook so the price paled in comparison.

yeah that looks pretty cool

liking the look of the tech air bags too (not sleeves but also look nice)... although i wonder how they'd hold up on a plane with the changes in pressure etc?

this is nice

I personally have a Be.Ez case & an Incase Sleeve.

I find the Neoprene sleeve to fit a lot nicer, and offers a slim but decent amount of protection for use in travelling. (Obviously you'll need a spare rucksack if you want to carry anything with the MacBook).

++ Tucano Second Skin for my old iBook and my current Macbook. Cannot fault them.
