MacBook Pro Bags, Sleeves, and Cases Thread

[alstrike]

Well I just ordered a Herschel Spokane Sleeve in night camo on the EU store for a cool 23.99€ (normal price is 59.99€) with free next day delivery.

On the website it says it fits the new 14" so fingers crossed... I already returned one of those FINPAC sleeves on Amazon

Did anyone order the Tech Folio Brief from SF Bags? If so, can you post some pictures and a review?

Thanks for the info. Is there much padding on this?
Any chance of a couple of quick pics of the inside/zip area with the MBP16 2021 in?

Sorry that I left my MacBook Pro and the sleeve at home and can't take pics for now.
But I can share the post with some pics from other thread:

My Native Union Stow Lite sleeve arrived and I'm very pleased with it so far. It doesn't seem to add a lot of bulk but still has some padding. The fit is pretty spot on, with just a little breathing room but not enough to make me worried about the computer sliding around.

There's not so much padding but quite enough for using with bags with a laptop compartment.

The old 13" MacBook Pro (2013) bookbook cover fits the new MacBook Pro 14" perfectly. I was lucky that i kept the old cover until the new one is released.

The latest version (m1 2020) with the elastics at the sides and not corners fits but tight. The elastics also get in the way of the zipper due to wider 14 inch body.

anyone order the MOSISO macbook pro 14 inch case and if so does it cover the macbook well?

The Native Union slim from the apple store fits the 16” 2021 nicely.

Appreciate this update -- I'm in the process of exchanging the Von Holz... 16" which did NOT fit and I'll see if I can scoop up the Native Union slim. Any pictures of the coverage?

Heres the Native Union Stow Lite Sleeve

Sorry I called it slim before. Got mixed up!

Just picked up the Outback solo from WaterField for my 14” MBP.

For my 16" M1 MBP Max...

I bought a temporary one "Acme Made Skinny Sleeve for MacBook Pro 15-Inch - Matte Black", £25:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00QUN7RM0

This was actually for the Retina 2015 (i.e. pre-2016-to-2019 15"!) MBP's. It fits the 16" M1 Max really quite well.
Very quick pics below...

I went ahead and bought a leather case from Etsy and it arrived today. It’s great quality, love it. Now I just need to get the MBP to put in it!

I received the 16 inch version yesterday. Tight, but it fits. Have to push it in all the way otherwise the flap will not close properly.

Sure you didn't have this problem, one reviewer noted:

Svenja 24 Nov, 2021 - 1 out of 5 stars.

Don't buy it!
Something went wrong with the Gerber process. The leather stinks so incredibly of fish that it had to leave the apartment immediately. I tried everything, hung up outside, rubbed with coffee. The smell remains. Impossible to use the bag.

Don't buy it, the leather really smells like fish. Something went wrong while processing.

No such issue I’m happy to report.

I’ll put a review on Etsy once my MBP arrives - I want to make sure it fits first!

But mine isn’t a “bag” so I think that review is for a different product also.

Likely that review was 'fishy' itself... lol!

I’ll admit the review did smell that way to me, hence my ordering regardless - I saw that review before I ordered.

It kinda LOOKS like you picked it up out back in the field...

LOL, now that you mentioned it, it does look like a second-hand or third-hand bag ?

Hi all! ☺️
I recently got my 2021 MBP 14 base-model, it has now a outer and palm rest decal cover (sticker/skin) in space gray color. However I would like to protect it more.
Do you have any advise for the hardcase? I find some on Amazon.de, but I am not sure which to choose.

In addition, please share if you have any idea that might be helpful in terms of protection or as an additional accessory ?

Thanks in advance, I appreciate! ?

I just received this hard case.
Ordered Nov 19th, arrived Dec 22.
AliExpress link
Mine is “Matte Black”

All in all, I have to say I’m pretty dang impressed. Now, I’ve purchased these type of cases before. The plastic tends to be more brittle than something like an Incase, or some other name brand. Over time, it’ll start to crack around the molded clasps. Whatever. I don’t lose sleep over it. The fact that it’s a) available and b) protects and looks good. It’s worth it.

There are 2 photos of my thumb in frame. NOTE The small amount of play in the case. I think this is just because there’s no where for the case to clip onto. It’s not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.


Also, this case came with silicone port guards, a keyboard cover, and a screen protector.

Looks elegant!
I also purchased one, but then noticed that I purchased a wrong color. I wanted to have a crystal clear transparent case, but it came in frosty. And there is a crack on the case.

However yours look excellent. I might also consider the black color, I liked after these photos ???

Mine is like this:
