RadTech is taking pre-orders but it will be awhile before you get it. They are the best sleeves in my opinion.

In the meantime, I ordered one of these and got it in a few days:

I like it, it does the trick and will probably use it with my RadTech Sleevz. It was only $20.

My macbook should arrive late next week (I think...) and I knew I needed a sleeve for it.

After extensive search, I found http://foofshop.com/ and ordered the purple people eater 🙂 Much better than the black sleeves 🙂

I just got my Foofbag in, it's pretty slick. It's not a zippered sleeve, just a slide-in model. My site linked above has a pretty good list, and another user is maintaining a photo post with images of the bags here:

The Foof bag I mentioned was purchased from here:

The sites listed are great, but has anyone tried one of those AppleSacs? http://www.applesac.com/ I was just wondering if they're quality or not.

I'm using my bitolithic sleeve which is a very nice fit. nice customer service, but shipping takes a bit since it comes from Australia. It offers scratch protection but that's about it.

I don't think any of the sleeves offer much impact protection, except maybe that one from brenthaven: http://www.brenthaven.com/catalog-sleeves.html

I might buy one of these once I pay off my debt...

Yeah I could! I already have the pattern I designed myself and it really doesn't take long! Just contact me via e-mail and we can go from there. I made it viewable in my profile on here:) I just need to know if you have a fabric style in mind. I have a huge inventory of fabric already but could also get something to fit your specs! Custom made! 🙂
