Question

What is a good slip case for the mbp so I can put it in a backpack safely?

looking for something at the apple store or compusa. I tried the Incase from the apple store but it is to tight and hard to fit the mbp in. I think the mbp is a little wider then the powerbook 15?

Thanks

If you're talking about the neoprone(sp?) Incase sleeves, then there is a MBP version. It would say in the back. The only downside is Incase only make this in apple green so far, no black.

Booq Vyper M2 is the best case you can get for the macbook, I think. It's pricy around 67 dollars out the door but it's fantastic. http://www.booqcases.com/

I've got this case, it's hideous. I had an artistic friend decorate it with some designs, but I'm only going to use it until my matias laptop armor, slim aluminum, case gets here. The macbook is 14.1"x9.6" according to apple, so it will fit.

I am using a Caselogic SNS15 that I picked up at a local CompUSA for $25 US.

I got the black incase with handles and removable shoulder strap from apple store for $49. This fits the MBP perfectly and is light and very functional.

I got the 15" Powerbook bag. It is just a tiny bit big, but works great for me.

Check out GYMS PACIFIC. if you like cool graphics on you sleeve, but they are not just for look they fit the MBP very well, nice and tight and padded.

I totally agree about this one. I prefer it to the Booq cases; smaller profile, very professional design and extremely well constructed.
