ic, even in web i also hardly see anyone selling hardcase for retina mbp sleep those also for 15" mbp only.. sad ah. hopefully dont wait until my rmbp until very scratchy then only they come out casing =='

I tried to find last week but it seems no one imports the MBP retina accessories yet (although you can get from the Online). Most are sleeves for the older MBP 15". I bought one from OPT.

yeah, only can see alot of sleeve for 15" laptop hehe. but i am looking for casing so i no need buy sleeve lol somthing like capdase folio dot ..

get a sleeve in the meantime. who knows it'll grow on you

a casing would negate the unibody's shell as a heat dissipation medium imo.

totally agree with you. Anything that add bulk / weight to the laptop, i might as well get cheaper window:P

i like the design , weight of the unibody.

propose for laptop bag or sleeve to take care your macbook

d'oh. I meant sleeve* edited my post.

where we can get incase sleeve for mac cheaper in malaysia ? machine selling at overprice

Initially I was thinking a casing too but got an advice about heat dissipation issue if using case, I decided to against it and now having the sleeve as the protection. But it still won't protect when using on the desk.

Is your desk that dangerous that it'll scratch your MBP? My desk is rather stationary.

Its hard wooden desk... Not sure but just worried... My old MBA have a case...that's why not so worried...but now the MBP Retina is "naked"...

it'll be fine! :P

I've mine on a piece of anodized metal sheet slightly tilted with two brackets at one end to give it a better typing angle.

common sense trumps any "protective" casing, imho

I baby my portable Macs initially, but after a while, they go in and out of a sleeve with them being naked. Sleeve is always on the first day I get my portable Macs. Since I've been buying portable computers and notebooks. I have yet to see any of the buyers of my notebooks coming back to me complaining about scratched surfaces, nor have they take note of scratches and use that as a ploy to degrade the resale value.

The way I look at it, if you're really that scared of using your portable Macs as it is, get something else more robust and won't scratch/won't show up scratches on their chassis. If the phobia/OCD of scratching a notebook OUTWEIGH the reason why you purchase it in the first place (which is , I hope, is because you need to use it for work/go through your daily routine) in a portable environment, you need help.

Notebooks are portable. I agree on the sentiment of protecting your investment. But protect them sensibly, without hindering the reason why you purchased them in the first place.

Maybe the rubber pads under the Macbook Pro are sufficient to protect from any scratch...
I have to get used to this "naked" MBPRD...



Guys - I have another question... When I viewed youtube using Safari, the videos are intermittent but when I viewed with Chrome, the videos are perfectly fine/smooth. Did you encounter this?

That question is for the 2012 New MacBook Pro/MacBook Air thread, not here. Short answer: poor implementation and integration of Flash into Safari.

Thanks for the feedback.
Sorry, I forgot which thread I was on before posting that question.

So far I am using Waterfield Sleevecase and Waterfield Muzetto Outback for my MacBook Air 13".

Looks really good and very durable.

You can check it out at http://www.sfbags.com

For protection, I use the Moshi PalmGuard (which comes with a trackpad protector) and PowerSupport Anti-Glare HD Screen Protector (Bought from xavinlyn at LYN).

For keyboard cover, I use the Rearth Verco (http://www.rearthusa.com) that comes with breathable ability.

So far, no complaints at all.
