MacBook Pro Bags, Sleeves, and Cases Thread

i-Blason case came in. Fits good and I can see where the added weight of the case makes the screen close automatically.

I think this is enough protection needed for a trip. I know once I get home, I'll take the case off. Worth the $20.
 
I'm still waiting for my Pack & Smooch to arrive for my 2016 15" it came from Germany and it finally hit the US and is in NY. I hope it's worth the wait.

Still waiting for the Incase sleeves with tensaerlite for my touch bar MacBook Pro 13"

Does anybody have news on these sleeves?. I sent a tweet to Incase but no answer yet

Sorry for a late post - I have one of these for the 2015 15" Mabcook Pro and love it! It's odd they haven't switched over the sizing (I bought mine in the Apple Store) but when they do, I highly recommend it.
 
Hi Guys

Recetnly got my Macbook Pro 15" with touch bar, and im looking for a sleeve/case.

I want leather, and i have about 100-110 Euros to spend.

Thinking of this one:
https://www.harberlondon.com/collec...ather-macbook-case-sleeve?variant=31836517388

or this one
https://www.harberlondon.com/collections/macbook/products/slim-leather-macbook-sleeve-case

or may be this one for better protection
https://www.harberlondon.com/collec...ther-folio-laptop-case-s7?variant=31864110028

I live in Norway so the selection isnt great over here, i tried searching on here, but didnt find that much information. Anyone recommend anyone of the ones i posted, or do you have any other recomendations?

Maybe Joli originals? Any other? Would love to hear from you

I got one of these until my Pad & Quill case arrives:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282229813...49&var=581266210955&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

There are a few different styles using the same material with different types of openings (zip, non-zipped, top slot, side slot) and some even give you the option for you to have your name personalised on the case. For the price it's very good quality considering it's just a (thick) felt case. Delivery was quite fast too.

Thanks I will check :) and maybe I will order sth in next week.
 
Can anyone suggest best practices, bags, or gizmos for handling macbook pro power cords and blocks? I hate carrying a wad of white spaghetti tangled around an awkward white brick, but it is sometimes necessary. Wrapping the cable around the block seems to stress the cable connections and my neat loops always explode as soon as I pull the power cord out of a bag. Any thoughts?

Check out sfbags.com they have some nice pouches. I have a Gear Pouch that goes way back. They changed the style since then but the quality is still the same.

Could you post the 5 year old sleeve ? Would like to see how aged or weathered look.

I sold it with the air I'm afraid. It was the textured leather, rather than the smooth I went for this time, so it didn't 'age' quite the same way as it was harder to mark. If you want one that ages nicely, go with the smooth as I have done this time around :)
 
Hello!
I am trying to decide on a case for my new MacBook Pro 13 inch Early 2015. I cannot find any information on Sena Cases here. I had two of their ultra slim cases for my iPhones and loved them. this is my first MacBook (the other computers are iMacs) and I am at loss.
I love the look of Sena's snap-on leather case. But there is no reviews anywhere :-(
Those of you who have sleeve cases, do you still have a shell case? Which shell is the best? I love the matte look... I am just worried about them scratching the aluminium...
 
I finally got my Pack & Smooch dark charcoal 15" Pro case w touch bar. The German craftsmanship is top notch and it fits perfectly. The notch out for charging while its in the case is really nice. This color goes very well with SG. I could easily slide my iPad Air 2 in the front pocket. I even tried putting both the cord and charger block and while it does fit and you can snap it closed I wouldn't recommend the charger block for extended periods as it may stretch the felt overtime but it does fit. It's a very nice form fitting case.

The only negative I have about the case is while the felt is premium quality it does shed, I've noticed pulling out my laptop there are very fine hairs from the felt, almost like residue but it easily blows off. However I don't like that and prefer a clean look. I wasn't aware this was going to be like that. I honestly wish I had just got a leather one now which wouldn't shed fibers.
 
I've now received navy blue sleeves from Harber London for both my 15" tbMBP and 13" MPB without touchbar. The quality of the product is top-notch and I can highly recommend them ... the felt lining doesn't shed! They are expensive, but – like almost everything else – you get what you pay for. I imagine these sleeves will last several years, even with heavy use.

How would you describe the blue color, some of the pics I've seen online make it appear to almost look black. Is it like a pair of navy blue jeans color or darker. The Harber London was my 2nd choice in that color.

I think I can describe it more easily than I can photograph it! The 13" sleeve I received is a shade or two darker blue than the 15", and since variations can crop up among dyed pieces, I imagine mine are 'normal' in that respect.

The 15" sleeve is a sort of gunmetal blue ... a very dark navy. The 13" is a little darker still ... almost the shade of the Apple blue leather iPhone 6 case. Neither appears black in real life.

Both are certainly darker than a new pair of Levis. The blue is very sedate; I do wish Harber London made a color with a little more 'pop' like a red or burnt orange. However, these sleeves are almost sumptuous-looking.

I go on three- and four-month road trips where the 15" tbMBP is a necessity. For daily use, however, I take along the 13" ntMBP. Having the same sleeve on both was more a styling exercise than a necessity, but I am happy with the matching Harber London pieces.

Thank you

Actually I have one of those for my 2012 15" Retina and it has a perfect fit.

I ended up getting this one https://www.incase.com/shop/macbook...ve-for-mb-retina-13-heather-nav/heather-navy/ for my 13" with touch bar and although it has a very nice build quality, the fit is loose and that's disappointing.

I wrote to Incase and they told me I have to wait until march or april to see new sleeves. They're taking forever!

Bought both the Belk (mistakenly thought it was a Belkin) and the Kuzy leatherette hard cases for my MBPro15 w/Touchbar. The Belk was of poor fit/finish, but the Kuzy is very nice. I've used their hard cases for a few of my other Macs with good results. For the money, its hard to beat.

Both available on Amazon.
 
After spending hours on researching bags, I have decided to go with a sleeve. I am torn between Thule (very top of my budget) and Tomtoc 360. Tomtoc is half the price of Thule. Are they good?
One thing that bothers me about Thule is the way it opens (have to open it completely to get the unit out) and the fact, there is no place to put charger for transport.
Is there a case that is under $50 that is similar to Tomtoc, but better?
 
Yesterday I bought Tucano Work Out II Slim bag for 13'' MacBook Pro TB. Amazon site says that "It's on the way". I used to have Tucano bag for my MacBook White but it disappeared, I don't know where it is. It was really nice bag so I bought new, similar to the previous version. I'm thinking about buying a sleeve but I didn't decide yet.
BTW I still waiting for Satechi hub from Amazon. Does anyone know how long it could take?
