I received (US west coast) the UK ebay sourced Incase sleeve after ~1 week. The sleeve is GREAT. Totally satisfied. :cool:

I purchased the ColcaSac Sleeve (Hanakapiai) for my new 13" MBA. Wanted something a little different but might also pick up a WaterField.

Could anyone with the Incipio Non-Leather version post his/her impressions? On the website of incipio, the sleeve looks very very loose.

The leather version on the other hand looks very nice and tight (as if it would have been made for this laptop).

I have an Incipio IM-100 sleeve for the 13 inch MBA. Until today, I had thought it was made of leather but just learned that it is made of polyurethane with a microfiber lining. It fits my MBA like a glove and is so thin and light, I put the MBA in it before putting both in the sleeve in my Marware case for the MBA. I really like my Incipio sleeve, and the price listed for it on the Incipio site is less than $20, which is less than half what I paid for mine. Highly recommended!

So, it is not as loose as it seems looking at the pictures or is getting more loose with the time?

Then I guess the higher price for leather is not really worth it?

Thanks for this link. It looks like exactly what I've been looking for as a case for my 13".
The Marware bag is great, you won't regret getting one. It is nearly identical to my old Brenthaven bag, which I bought 8 years ago for a 17 inch Powerbook G4 and continued to use with a 17 inch MBP, which replaced the Powerbook. In some ways, the Marware bag is even better designed than the Brenthaven bag. It has fitted pockets for the AC adapter, an iPhone or iPod Touch, and a Superdrive. The best part is that even filled with the MBA and its peripherals, the Marware bag weighs considerably less than the MBP's 6.8 pounds.

I just received my Waterfield sleevecase for for 11 MBA. I'm more than thrilled with it. Fits the Air perfectly and is built very well.

Its costly once you add up the strap and piggyback, I also opted for leather trim, but being that this is the only case I will get for my Air I found it to be very worth it.

If I take the handle off, I can carry this around much the same way that I carried around my iPad while in its Apple case, and even though I sold that if I ever do get another one there is a sleeve on the outside that would fit the iPad perfectly.

Love this case.

Couldnt you possibly upload a selfmade picture of yours? Real life pictures look always different to the marketing ones on the webpage. It would be great!

I am looking at 2 options for my new 11"

Carbon fiber skin, or this handsome wool case. Might even just get both!

Ended up with a ColaSac

I looked at so many sleeves. I wish Timbuktu would make a sleeve for the MBA LIKE their kindle one. That sleeve is REALLY nice.

The waterfield was nice but a bit too expensive. I went with the ColaSac, I really like that design and soft insert.

hi guys,

has anybody here actually purchased the handgraft sleeve for the macbook air yet?

http://shop.hardgraft.com/macbook-sleeves/xiii-macbook-sleeve

i have been looking at ordering one but wanted to see if anybody has actually used one yet and their experience in regards to quality/fit etc, as it is quite pricey.

Yes, I have the Hardgraft sleeve for the new 13" MBA. Fits like a glove. I have had many positive comments on it though it is expensive.

I just received my e.ez LE rush Messenger Bag for 13.3-Inch-MacBooks (Black/Coffee) from Amazon. Cost was $54.99. I'm very happy with it. Just the right size, well made, nice pockets. More information about this bag on their web site here;
