I ordered the Pack & Smooch wool and leather case for 13" tMBP. It arrived today and fits perfectly. Magnetic closures and a slim pocket on the front. Hand stitched wool with Italian leather is a nice touch. Highly recommended.
There is this i-Blason model on Amazon.com for $24.99 US and on the i-Blason site for $32.00 US:

I am tempted by the Frost Black one for my Space Grey MBP.
The i-Blason site says it isn't ready until Dec 7th, but there is no such message on the Amazon page. (UPDATE: I tested ordering this on Amazon.com and when checking out for a US address it says it would arrive between Dec 1-6 by free shipping - the only shipping option available for US addresses).
BTW, the above case is also available for the 2016 13" MBP model (says available Nov 30th - likely also on Amazon.com I'm guessing)
There is also an "Armorbox Tough Case" available from i-Blason in different colours - strangely only available for the 13" 2016 MBP model.
Clicking around on Amazon.com I see there is also a "Kuzy" brand of hard case/shell listed, but not available until ater Christmas... https://www.amazon.com/MacBook-Case-2016-A1707-Kuzy/dp/B01MXME581/
As none of these have currently launched, or have been reviewed by end users, I'd go with the most reputable brand if ordering now. i-Blason looks pretty solid by their website. I suspect Speck or Moshi, also good brands, might be working on something like this as well?

I was looking at that i-Blason and am really torn between not wanting to add bulk to it vs going without protection.
There's something I don't quite understand and wonder whether anyone can explain. I've been using a Moshi iGlaze on my rMBP 15" now, and I've considered getting something cheaper. But everything else has those holes at the underside supposedly for ventilation (I mean in the middle of the bottom part and not the vents at the side). Why is that so??? It looks really unsightly to me. The Moshi iGlaze has no such holes underneath and works perfectly.There is this i-Blason model on Amazon.com for $24.99 US and on the i-Blason site for $32.00 US:

Got this one (the 14") delivered today and I can confirm it fits the new 15". The fit is pretty tight, however, but it works. Getting that lip near the zipper at the top over the laptop edge is harder than I'd like, but it will fit with some effort. Zipper closes without too much hassle.Actually, my friend recommend me tomtoc another sleeve, which perfectly fit for my Late-2016 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, checking the review, the 14 inch also fit for 15 macbook pro late-2016

Thanks for all of the Pack and Smooch recommendations... ordered mine today.. it's expensive (£55) but hopefully worth it and last a few years.
Also, thanks for the 10% discount code someone posted earlier
For the 13 or 15?Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the Incase slim sleeve for 12.9" iPad Pro is a great fit for the new MacBook Pro.

Can the slight wobbling in the Tensaerlite Icon 15" damage the 2016 15" MBP in any way?
I dont mind having a bigger sleeve as long as it fully protects my new MBP while in a bag or something... Although I wouldnt like the movement of the thinner MBP in the case to damage it in any way...
Same here, ordered mine today. I love that you can charge it while it's in the case.
