I finally have a shinny new 13" Macbook Pro Rentina and I'm wondering what is the best way to protect it? I am considering either a hard case or a sleeve but which one is the best? This thing is worth more than my car and I can't afford for anything to happen to it! Hard case? Sleeve? Both?

Congratulations on your MBPR! I had the exact same question when I bought mine. I ended up using a hard case and a sleeve. For the case I went with the Kuzy Hard Case and an Incase Deluxe Sleeve. Using a sleeve and case is great and I feel like my Macbook is very well protected and I am no longer scared of breaking it with this setup! Best of luck!
I suggest you look at something of this order if you are serious about protecting your MBP:

Ciao.
Padded sleeve/case is good, or pick up a good laptop backpack or sling case for transport. Hard plastic case for drop protection.
The main way it can get damaged is if it falls or is knocked onto a hard floor when it is open and running.
I would go for -> both. If you're going to be packing your machine around constantly, I would get a Speck hard-shell casing with a neoprene 'soft' cover.
Just my opinion...

A hard case protects much better than a sleeve if the computer is dropped accidentally.
What is the best way to protect my new Macbook Pro?
