I got the minimal Slip Sleeve with PerformaKnit from Incase. I also got their City Dot Backpack when I have to carry other things. But it turns our I rarely ever will need to carry the power supply.
My InCase shell (clear) arrives on Monday. I already have a Thule Gauntlet case that will fit this Pro, so I'm set on the case side of things.
How's the Thule Gauntlet? Would you recommend it as I'm tossing between that and a Pelican case

This looks like the only case I would ever need to protect my macbook M1 haha
I reused the Incase brand ICON sleeve that I’ve been using with my Intel MacBook Air

I bought it for my 13" MBA that I'm replacing with this M1 Pro. I like it because I can put the Mac in there and place that in a larger bag or laptop backpack. You can also open the Mac without removing the case because of how the Gauntlet is designed. The Pelican cases are great if you will be carrying the laptop into excessively dusty/hot/wet conditions, but I find them a bit impractical for general usage.
Thanks! Ya I think Thule Gauntlet might be good for my usage honestly. The only issue I have with it was the interior padding didn't feel like it was sufficient?
These are nice but I dont know about it being protective and it's way too expensive! You'd have to buy their portfolio range for some protection. Have you guys seen TomToc? It's cheap and looks more protective! Just not as beautiful as woolnut lol
Don't make fun of me, but I bought the Apple brand leather sleeve for my 13" M1 MBA. It was a splurge, and the sale of my iPad Pro/Magic Keyboard/Apple Pencil largely covered the cost. I'm pretty happy with it so far.
I’m going to use my old Nedrelow 
magic sleeve

I just got my TomToc from Amazon a day ago. It's great, and was a hair less than $20!
I try to avoid leather as I'm vegan*...
But the Native Union laptop cases look awesome and come bundled with a smart cable.
And leather is an 'accent' rather than a main element.
*Yes. I just told you!

I got a glass screen protector, a clear case from eBay, and a fishskyn skin. I like it. Everything fits great and feels solid
