Got myself this for the 11" MBA:-


Waterfield Sleeve Case with Leather Trim & Suede Jacket Sleeve

and this for the 13" MBA:-


Shuky Par Avion MacBook Air Leather Sleeve

Both very much recommended!

If you can find my previous recommendation on a Hedgren bag I had before, that would be my choice. It's small enough to carry the 13.3inch form factor without posing extra bulk. Or if you like leather, there's always the MacCase products. I have one for the older version of MBA and it fits like a glove. Compartments for cables, and even pouch for the MBA SuperDrive if you have one.

Pics of them are in my Twitter feed. Lazy to upload here.

Hey asswipe, stop spamming the forum with your pathetic sale post can or not? Reported.

I would advise against any screen protectors for the Retina Display MBP. Clear ones will introduce glare back again, compared to the reduced glare now. Matte one will just blur the clarity of the Retina screen.

I dont trust anyone with that. Otherwise you can try the wrapping service in Sg.Wang to do it for you.

I just love my MBP RD too much to let anyone scratch her.

Ground floor at the northwest corner of the cellphone area.

Yes. There was one a wrapping service at LYP on the second floor, but they moved. The Sg. Wang booth is still there.

Purchased the Tumi Alpha Bravo Knox backpack for my new Retina Display MBP.

Bought the tan one. Wanted to get the Brenthaven ProStyle Slimpack but not available here. Shipping from US easily costs a lot more than that bag alone due to volumetric size. The Alpha Bravo Knox fits the MBP just nice, with tons of compartmentalized pockets. I can carry my MBP, charger, my AKG headphones, the Hyperjuice MacBook external battery, RAT7 gaming mouse, external battery for iPhone and still have room to spare plus still have that slim profile.

Feels more durable and nicer than the old Samsonite Hedgren I used before. This one maintains its slim profile when I decide to travel light or expands when needed when I chuck lots of stuff in it.

My Colcasac Uintah "Handmade in Salt Lake City" case for 15" Retina Display MacBook Pro just arrived. The paper bag itself is BEAUTIFUL!

Here. USD45. I found them by Googling.

Like, but not quite. Colcasac has been around for a while, they go by the name AppleSac last time.

I was very much interested in this, until the coffee part.

I'll also be getting the SFBags sleeve case when it is available for shipping July 6th. No hurry as the Uintah works awesome now. Rugged on the outside, impossibly soft on the inside.

Got another NRT-LAX trip in August. If you wanna jump in the purchase, holler. I'm buying mine in August to and get it shipped to Hilton LAX. Question is, Outback or SleeveCase? SleeveCase is more professional looking.

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

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.

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

Only getting the SleeveCase next month, and if my request for an LA flight is fulfilled. So no promises.

3 days. I picked the fastest available shipping option via Fedex.

Fedex vs. USPS. The old adage "you get what you pay for" applies here.

Which is why I hate it when online vendors only provide the slowest, cheapest method of shipping under the pretense of trying to pass the savings to the customer.
