This case is really neat. Does it fit the new macbook air well even if it's a little thicker than the original air? Can you post pictures?
Don't have a picture handy, but it fits the new Air perfectly. Very trim and svelte. Nice quality.
After using several different sleeves my fave is the one from waterfield designs. They offer both vertical and horizontal layouts, d rings for a strap, and their sleeve and piggy back combo is perfect for trips to the library, coffee shop, interoffice meetings, or working lunches.
While there are many good sleeves out there, the one thing i would recommend is getting a sleeve that fits the layout of your bag. You should be able to remove your laptop from your sleeve w/out having to take the sleeve out of your bag. It's not a big deal but a convenience you'll appreciate.

Classic is the same as InvisibleShield, you need a solution to apply. Ultra doesn't require a solution, it's like a stick-on. I prefer the Classic since you aren't left with tons of air bubbles and stuff like that, and you can re-adjust it if you make a mistake in the application procedure.
P.S. InvisibleShield sucks. Wrapsol gives you a matte finish that's almost invisible. I'll post pics when I receive mine.
Leather Case for Macbook Air 11.6
Hi All -
Just order PDair case for my new macbook air 11.6. I will do a review once it arrives (should next 3 - 5 days).
Looks ideal - check out their website.

It does fit in the padded section though the top flap doesn't completely fold down over it. It buckles as well cleanly though it isn't as snug as when an iPad is in it. If you put it in the section in front of the padded one, it fits fine so technically you could carry both the MBA and the iPad (though why would you).
For now I'm going to use it as is. Would be silly for me to get the non-iPad version for the "perfect fit". If I can remember to do so I'll post pics later.
Perfect, I have their cases for my phone and love them. Not thrilled by the white stitching, but it's perfect. I have it on order as well, do you know what express shipping means?
i bought two days ago and Apple shipped to me yesterday the Paul Smith Envelope Case designed specifically for MacBook Air 13".
It's simply wonderful.

As a temporary measure I got for $8 a neoprene sleeve from Case Logic through Meritline (it was on sale).
It has a pungent rubber smell and for now I am baking it on the Arizona sun, hoping that the plastifier eventually evaporates. Will report later..

Was that shipped from GB? If so, what's the delivery time look like? I can't find the incase sleeve in any stateside retailer.
Anyone try the beez sleeve? http://www.amazon.com/BE-EZ-LARobe-MacBook-Sleeve-Wasabi/dp/B0019GMLOW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1289086456&sr=1-2
EDIT: I ordered the incase sleeve from the linked GB ebay vendor.
thanks

The InCase 13" Neoprene Sleeve (no zipper) cost me $46 on Zappos.com.
(SKU# 7736999)
Free shipping. Still out of stock. In fact, no longer shows in their inventory.
If you want the one with the zipper, it's on sale for $41.40:

I haven't gotten it yet, but yes it's coming from GB. I'll post my results once I receive it.
Here are some pics of the inCase some of you guys are discussing, on my new 13MBA (brand new mucho bargain on ebay UK)
After a couple of weeks use, I really cannot complain for the price (£13.49 INC P&P). Yeah the flap has gotten a little looser from use, but not to the point where it causes any issues.

STM Jacket in small. It comes in black with green accents or brown with orange accents. Has a padded main compartment that fits the 13in perfectly and also has a zippered pocket to hold the power adapter and a non-zipped pocket (not sure if I'd really trust it) for your phone. It also has a pocket on the back that will work if you carry the bag horizontal with the included strap - otherwise there is a handle to carry it vertically.
Its small enough that I use it as my every day bag and when I need to carry more gear like my camera, external drives, etc... I just stick it into a regular messenger bag. Got it online for like $25 shipped.

This one does look pretty sweet - http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10900000_11000225_11001077&products_id=31656
Bought the STM Glove for MacBook & MacBook Pro 13'" Sleeve from the local Microcenter. It fits well even though it is for the thicker MBs. STM has a specific one for the MBA (glove Small Macbook Air). I like it because it has a lip that goes over the MBA so that the zipper doesn't scratch it.
Does anyone have this $15 sleeve from amazon?
