If only! Sold mine with my old rMBP as I believe in 'new MacBook, new case', however I'm now case-less in view of the lack of decent stuff out there!
Thankfully, my MB rarely leaves the house so I can live without until a quality case comes along ....
Yeah, I think i'll wait too.
The Pack & Smooch case is available on Amazon, however it's a bit steep at £60. I'm holding out for a solid sleeve under £30.
My Tb MBP arrived last night. Wanted to take it to work this morning so I slipped it into my new Thule 3.O Gauntlet zippered sleeve. Then I realized I want to take my dongle adapter. And if I'm taking the adapter, I might as well take a USB drive. But there is no where to put them except throw them on top of the MBP and hope it doesnt get too scratched up.
So now I am on the hunt for a zippered case that has pockets. Any ideas?

Ha, understandable. Technically the product name is Hampshire. The company name is Pack & Smooch. If that helps at all
Anyone receive their i-Blason cover? Mine supposedly shipped DHL Global on the 25th without any further updates. Says it is coming from Georgia, but I am thinking overseas. I may call them.
It says delivery tomorrow, but update states awaiting arrival at eCommerce center

Same story here. No updates after the initial DHL tracking number said it arrived into USPS facility.
I called DHL and it has not arrived in the US yet. I sent a message to i-Blason.
On their website, they list it as in stock on 12/7. I don't think we will be seeing these anytime soon.
My 13 inch will arrive on Monday, hopefully I will get the I-balson by then. I also ordered the best skin ever full body coverage, will see how that goes
BSE sounds like a lot of work to cover a MBP. Have you done it before? Did it save from scratches or even small dent?
Did it on my jet black iPhone and it came out well. Will give it a shot on my MacBook pro and see how it goes.
Bah humbug!
I have the opposite reaction. It's such an adorable company name I want to say it 3 times fast AND buy their product!pack and smooch

Alas, I already received this Tomtoc and am really enjoying it.
Look at the picture second from the top. That cleverly designed internal pouch is helping me keep my dongles / cables / etc organized and easy to retrieve in a hurry.

The grey fabric blends well with the space grey. The "striations" running horizontally are tres chic.
But pack and smooch is a better name.

Hopefully should arrive soon.

I got the same one in black/brown. Note: the 12inch version of this case fits the 2016 13 inch MacBook Pro.

Thanks for the tip, ordered this for myself

That is GORGEOUSSS. I wish they would make a version that actually fits the 2016 15" perfectly
All these cases I find have so much looseness in them.

Sad to report back on my sleeve status... I had a 13" 2015 rMBP and the Crumpler Fug for the Macbook Air 13" was an absolute PERFECT fit. Unfortunately the new 13" is so much smaller it slops around inside it. I absolutely LOVE the fit on the rMBP, so I really wish there was something similar for the 13" TB MBP 2016.
I went into this 5000 message cases\sleeves thread, and all I could see people talking about in terms of sleeves were the Incase Slim Sleeve for the iPad Pro which was rumored to fit well, and the Tomtoc Neoprene sleeve for the iPad Pro 12".
I ordered and received both, and I can say neither are a good fit. The Tomtoc is super lose and sloppy, and the Incase is too big and allows movement of the laptop inside the case which makes it somewhat pointless to even use. In addition, both have zippers, which annoy me, unlike the Crumpler Fug which is just a super tight slide-in sleeve with an opening on one end.
If anyone thinks of anything that'd work for me, please share. Thanks!

I contacted i-Blason and they just received another shipment. He said they will need to go through them and then prepare and ship. Maybe before Xmas?
Couple questions... so if I understand, it's the same model for iPad Pro 12 inch, the Macbook 12 inch, and the new 13 inch touch bar macbook pro? Amazon lists them as separate products:
https://www.amazon.com/Acme-Made-AM36924-Shuttle-MacBook/dp/B0125A3040?th=1
and
https://www.amazon.com/Acme-Made-AM...096&sr=8-2&keywords=acme+made+macbook+12&th=1
and
https://www.amazon.com/Acme-Made-AM...22&sr=1-2&keywords=acme+made+ipad+pro+12&th=1
???
The one thing I don't like is the laptop goes in horizontally. Leaves a lot exposed. I liked my crumpler fug cause it goes in vertically.
Does the case function without the strap, or is it too lose to not use the strap?
I just don't super love that design, lol

If I'm not mistaken, aren't these the Incase sleeves everyone was waiting for? They updated their site recently to include a "Pro (2016)" section. I apologize if someone has posted about this already.

Edit: Although some of them say "New", they seem to be the same cases that were available for the previous generation MBP. Also, one of the sleeves that is supposedly for the Late 2016 13 inch shows a picture of the cMBP (non-Retina). I think I'm gonna wait to hear from Incase officially. What do you guys think?
