Apple :: MBP 13 - Protection -sleeve - Case - Etc
May 3, 2010
As I am patiently waiting for MBP 13" to arrive, I was thinking about the best way to protect it from physical damage because I hear that the aluminum body is prone to scratches and dents rather easily.
So, I was curious to know how other members on this board are protecting their MBPs. Are you using a sleeve or a case (shell) or both? I was looking to purchase a Incase Neoprene Sleeve and maybe a specks satin shell, but I don't know if that is overkill or is really needed.

I'm a proud new owner of a MBP 13-inch. couple of matters.
(1) A good skin/sleeve/cover/case to protect it on the go. Ideally I'd like a very lightweight and elegant skin or shell that's on all the time to protect the exterior from wear and tear, without trapping too much heat.
(2) I need a sleek padded case to carry the unit and typical accessories (charger, adapters, mouse) and other small items.
(3) I'm looking for a convenient laptop stand for my desk to set the MBP alongside an external monitor.

I have a MBP with a hardshell case (Speck Seethru Satin). I plan on buying a laptop sleeve (neoprene type) that fits 15" but i was wondering if anyone done this and if it fits with the case.

Anyone have any success finding a case or sleeve that fits your Timeline snuggly? I'm specifically looking for a 4810 sleeve but post up what you're using and Timeline model number.

I have a DV6 i7-Quad standard 6 cell battery , though i think all DV6 are the same dimensions excluding 9, 12 cell battery which might protrude.
A good fit , no movement is preferred.

I have ordered an Acer Gemstone Blue 6920g which is due to be delivered next week sometime.
I was wondering if anyone else already owns one of the gemstone blue laptops and has tried a laptop bag or case out for it.
The gemstone blue laptops come in a 16 inch and 18.4 inch screen size and have an aspect ratio of 16:9 instead of 16:10.

I just received my new 2.4GHz unibody Macbook and it's amazing.
Now I want to make sure it looks good forever.
I can't decide what's better:
- The Incase Neoprene sleeve:

or
- Speck 13-inch SeeThru Satin Case for Aluminum MacBook:

Also, when I travel I'll be using a North Face Surge backpack:

I just got my Mac Book Pro 15" a couple of days ago & do love it! ( except I'm still adapting from my Dell I've had for so many years. )
& I'd like to protect it from scratches & spills etc.
I've once seen a single one piece of silicone that covered everthing, but I cant find it now.
I'm assuming its not available for the newer models.
I dont know if I'm crazy about the Marware's stuff.

I dont think this one even has the keyboard cover.

recently I picked up a 13" MBP and I'm still kinda adjusting to it, but loving it so far.
I'll be going out of the country (volunteering in Taiwan) on Jul 2nd for a month and I need a sleeve so I can throw the thing in my backpack without having to worry about scratches and dents.
I'm looking for something that has like a "second skin" fit and is tailored for the MBP.
A good example fo what I'm looking for is the booq Taipan. Hopefully it's not too expensive and either something I can pick up locally or is available in Taiwan as I'm not sure if I can get it shipped to me on time for my trip (I'm in Orange County, CA).

I heard of others who purchased sleeves made for previous (non-unibody) 15" MPBs and found it would not fit the Unibody case. Can someone who has one provide info on a sleeve that perfectly fits the unibody 15" MBP?

I've just bought a new MacBook Pro 13.3, 2,4 320GB HDD. Now while waiting for it I thought I should ask you the following: what is the best protective case for Macs.
a) Incase 13" Neoprene Sleeve Plus for MacBook Pro for 40$
or
b) Speck 13" SeeThru Satin Case for MacBook Pro and MacBook40 for 50$?
or
c) Should I just get a normal case sleeve for anything between 15-30$?
If options a) and b) are preferable, would I still need a sleeve too? (I travel a lot). Also, do optioins a) and b) make Macs hotter?

my UMBP got way too damn hot. and was getting tired of the heat. So I started out just taking the bottom of the notebook case off and blowing it out. Then I started looking at it more closely, the fans have no direct access to fresh air intake. Yes I know the speakers/keyboard are meant for that. But the tinkerer in me fired up the drill press and with a 11/32 bit started making some small holes areound the fan intake and ram. Well my MBP now runs so much cooler before I was running 44-55C on mbp just idling and light web browsing. No I am so so happy to say my MBP is running at 35-40C. That is significant decrease in temps.

My son's MacBook Pro (15 inch) has a case warp problem that's probably caused by something in the superdrive pushing out the plastic strip on the front of the laptop. I suggested taking it to the Apple Store to see what it would cost to fix (probably a Superdrive replacement at a minimum). I also asked him if he'd like a new 15 inch MBP but he likes his current system despite the problems. It has a Windows XP partition and all of the software that he likes on it which would have to be moved over. I'm disappointed with this generation MBP with the nVidia problem, the failed superdrive and now the current problem.
I have the 17 inch model of the same generation but I haven't had any problems with mine. I'd personally just prefer getting him a new one and I might just go ahead and get one and set it up (he's at a university for the summer and uses his MBP for his job there).
In general, are the Aluminum MBPs more problem free than the previous generation plastic models? Are there fewer Superdrive issues?

i got my santa rosa MBP not too long ago (i bought it second hand). i am extremely happy with the machine as it is a 2.4ghz c2d with 160g hdd at 5400rpm and 8600gt 256mg gpu. i know this has been discussed many times, so i have been reading about the multi touch trackpad and was a bit bummed that i didnt get the newer 2008 penryn model instead. 2 days ago i was thiking about replacing the SR MBP top case with a penryn MBP top case and have the multi touch, 4 finger gesture ability on my SR MBP. therefore i started googling to see of people have actually done conversions and worked..fortunately, i found a member on this forum and confirmed that it actually works...but unfortunately there was not guide for this operation. I would really want to hear from those that has performed such replacement operation and perhaps give me some tips and what i may need to watch out for. in addition to that, does anybody know of a guide for this replacement? would the penryn top case keyboard and trackpad connections fit the SR MBP? any modifications needed?

I just bought a new, extremely awesome backpack that looks like a shark when I went shopping in Taipei yesterday, but there is no protection for laptops! That being said, I'm on the prowl to find a sleeve to protect my new MBP in transit and this particular sleeve caught my eye:
[url]
Does anyone have any experience with this laptop sleeve for the MacBook unibody? I've read on some reviews that people have issues with the fleece lining "shedding" all over their laptops and the ports (not cool), but I totally dig the look and style of this sleeve.

I think most of you already looked at various cases and sleeves to protect your expensive new Z, but what about the keyboard?
Dont you hate it when the keys get all shiny with normal use?
I was of getting clear keyboard stickers for my new Z:
Is this truly the best option? How are you planning to protect the keys?

I was also wondering if anyone has tried any of the Clear protection skins that are available such as Invishield or Phantom Skinz since it appears that this laptop (XPS 16) is such a fingerprint magnet and now i'm seeing from earlier posts that it is prone to minor scratches. I am tough on my lappy since I carry it with me everyday so something like this might be worth it to protect my new investment..... Let me know everyones thoughts, I just ordered my XPS 16 and would like to keep it as scratch free as possible

I'm planning to purchase this warranty plan but I'm wondering if it is global. I live in Canada so I'm wondering if I bought this in the US, would it work in Canada as well. In other words, would I be able to use warranty in Canada even if I purchased it in the US (my laptop is from the US as well)?
