Case or Sleeve For 11 Inch?

[RanEnRui]

Surprised no one has mentioned the Fabrix Cases. They've just updated their site for the new MBA 11/13 sizes.

I got one for my Rev B (which I traded in for the new 13").

They are custom made and ship from Singapore, so there is about a week or two delay in getting it.

Those Fabrix cases are BUTT ugly.

and expensive. Felt sheets go for anything between 6 to 10 $ a yard.
You could make a few of these on your own for a fraction of the price!

That is such a nice case

If you want a zipper-less neoprene case, here's the one I ordered for my 13" MacBook Air:
https://www.goincase.com/products/detail/neoprene-sleeve-cl57148

They are out of stock on the black one but Zappos.com has them.

I assume InCase will have an 11" version soon.

I have had the same case for 1.5 years and traveled with it for more than 8 months and it is super. The nice thing is that you can slip your MBA out of it without having to take it out of your backpack.

I'm sure they will make one for the 11' soon - I think it is the best case for MBAs

The Marware bag looks nice. They make some quality products, so hopefully you'll be pleased with your purchase. Coincidentally, I also used to have a similar Brenthaven bag some time ago. That thing was almost indestructible.

I looked for a Brenthaven bag but couldn't find one that had anything like the Marhaven's custom designed features for the MBA. I am hoping that the Marhaven turns to be as as small and relatively light weight as it appears to be.

I'm gonna try this:

Should stretch to the right dimensions.

Can't go wrong for $6.25.

I just purchased this one over the phone. For some reason the website says out of stock but when I called to check if they are going to get more, she said they still have plenty of them in stock. I should get it by the end of the week

I received the Marware bag for the MBA, which I posted a link to in Post #20. Although it was rather expensive, Marware sent it priority mail and I got it this morning. For a full featured computer bag it is remarkably small and light. In fact, I put my 13 inch MBA in the built in sleeve and the AC adapter in the nylon pocket that is designed to accept it and weighed it all. Remarkably, the whole setup weighs only 5 pounds, which is 1.8 pounds lighter than my 17 inch MBP weighs by itself. The bag is at least as well designed and well made as my old 17 inch Brenthaven bag, which is to say very well designed and well made, indeed. I guess you do get what you pay for.

Ill probably figure something out while I hold out for Incase to make a neoprene zippered sleeve. Also definitely gonna get it wrapped with ZAGG Invisible shield as soon as they get them in stock at the kiosk nearby.

Thanks for this! Just called and was able to get a black one!

Why is incase taking so long? It seems like in the sleeve business you would want to have something announced as soon as possible even if it wasn't ready to ship.

Seems stupid but I am actually not buying my Air until there is an incase 11" sleeve available

np ... im getting the chocolate one

I already posted. I bought and received this, it will absolutely NOT fit the MBA 11"... it's PERFECT width, but the way the flap is sewn it will NOT strech so it will not work length-wise. DONT WASTE MONEY, I THREW MINE AWAY. I thought neoprene would stretch more than it does, not this one.

Are there any leather cases available? I've been searching online and haven't found anything for the 11" yet. I would love something that covers the outside in leather and makes the MBA look like a black leather journal.

Just ordered this from PDAir, $99 includes shipping (no tax). I've used cases from them before.

Anyone here from the UK with good case solutions, can't find any decent ones yet, apart from Paul Smith, would like to see some others before buying!

Please post a review and maybe some pics when you receive this. I'm curious if heat will be a problem.

Ooh - thanks for posting this. I have the iPad-sized bag and really love it. When I sold my ipad, I kept the bag just because it is the perfect size. Even if the 11" doesn't fit perfectly, I don't care - the Ristretto is fantastic.

It's a little pricey, but I bought the sleeve from sfbags.com.

Looks like a quality sleeve.

I just received this yesterday. I ordered the optional strap too. It is a beautiful, stylish, light, bag that fits the air great and really looks cool. The protection is really good too, the air fits snuggly and is well padded in the bag.

Which is this one? I looked in the site and there isn't one for a 11" mba

 

[TheMadBrewer]

I've used an Incipio Orion for my original MBA for a while now. Has worked very well when packed in another bag. I hope they do one for the 11" MBA.

I have a vertical bag from sfcases.com when I carry it by itself.

I called last night and they said they didn't have any.

Yea they only had a few when I called so it isn't surprising they are all gone now.

Will do! Looks like there may be some slits on the bottom of the case towards the rear to help ventilate for the heat.
