What is the best carrying sleeve/case for the Macbook Pro 15"

I just bought a Macbook Pro, an upgrade from my iBook G4, and need to get a sleeve. I definitely want something that has hard edges that will fit in my messenger bag, as I ride the bus and my bag sits on the floor of the bus when it is full. What are peoples recommendations? I was looking at the Booq Viper M2, but would welcome suggestions.
Thanks,
Ian

Speck makes a great SeeThru hard shell cover.
I picked up two on eBay real reasonable.

  • I want to buy a hard case for my macbook pro, but I don't know what year it is. When I use the serial number to try and find out, all it says is, "~VIN,MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)". When I type that into amazon for a case it gives me nothing!

  • Protective Case for my Macbook Pro?

    ive been looking for a protective case (shell) for my Macbook Pro 15", but all the ones i keep finding are for the older model (black keys, 2 USB ports on the left instead of 1 like mine has etc..).
    anyone have any links to cool shell cases for my Macbook Pro?
    thanks!!

    Your post is very confusing, since it's the current models that have black keys and all their ports on the left side. The older models have silver keys and ports on both sides. You seem to have gotten this backwards, and you don't tell us clearly which model you have. Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu, click "More Info", and tell us what appears in System Profiler > Hardware as the Model Identifier for your MBP. It will be something like 3,1 or 5,1 — a number in that format. That will tell us what sort of MBP you need a shell for.

  • What Makes the MacBook Pro better then MacBook Air?

    What Makes the MacBook Pro better then MacBook Air?
    I am considering getting a laptop of one of the 2.
    I think Macbook pro is what i want as just a secondary computer, need a laptop that performs same as my desktop IMac
    What are really the differences between the Pro and Air?
    What Pro is best?
    Anyone have problems? and am i best with paying for a brand new computer vs refurb?
    thanks

    It really depends what you use it for.
    I'm in my senior years in high school and I just bought my macbook pro (15 in - $1799 w/out tax). I'm willing to spend the extra money as I am planning to use it to continue my education in post secondary school. I think that the MBP is great for work, designing and for professionals. The MBA is great for portability and chicness. The graphics on the MBP is beyond my expectations and it's great. Its great for many things.
    It all comes to this. Are you willing to spend the extra money on a MBP. What will you be using your computer for? WIll you be using it for a very long time? Are you going to be careful with it? I heard that the MBA is flimsy and can easily break.
    I also recommend you ask a person at the Genius Bar at your local Apple store and they will be glad to assist you. I researched for a solid half of a year before i made a decision and bought my macbook pro.
    Hope this helps.

  • What 2T external HD should I buy for my macbook pro for photos, videos and music storage?

    Hello friends!!
    What 2T external HD should I buy for my macbook pro for photo, music and videos storage?
    Thank U!!

    My personal preference is for the OW, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro quad-interface drive...have four of them of the 2 TB size and they are very good performers.  The quad-interface allows you a choice of ways to connect, eSata, Firewire 800/400, USB which is very convenient.  OWC is a Mac specialist so everything has been tested and guaranteed to be Mac compatible.

  • Metal Allergy, what is the MacBook Pro constructed of?

    I recently was required to buy the MacBook Pro for my art school. However, I'm allergic to metal, all metals. So, I'm wondering, what is the MacBook Pro constructed of? Are the keys also metal? If so, does anyone know of anything, such as skins, that I can buy to cover parts of my computer where my hands will be or to cover the keys?

    Ouch all metals? That stinks...I'm allergic to nickel...that's about it.
    To the point.
    No, the keys are not metal. Yes, there are definitely full body skins you can buy for the MBP.
    Just two examples:

  • Can i return a case for a macbook pro?

    I recently purchased a case for my macbook and im not totally satisfied with it. therefore i was wondering if i could return it. also i dont have the original box it came in.

    I'm assuming you purchased it from the Apple Online Store? If so, here is their return policy:
    You have 14 calendar days to return an item from the date you received it. For an Apple iPhone, you have 30 calendar days.
    Only items that have been purchased directly from Apple, either through the Apple Online Store or at an Apple Retail Store, can be returned to Apple. Apple products purchased through other retailers must be returned in accordance with their respective returns and refunds policy.
    Please ensure that the item you're returning is repackaged with all the cords, adapters and documentation that were included when you received it.

    You could contact Apple to see if they offer exceptions to this policy. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • What is the best hardshell case for 13" macbook pro??

    I wanted to know what is the best hardshell case for the 13 inch macbook pro(2010). I want one for school usage because i will be taking it around. Also i want one that doesnt scratch the macbook's aluminum.
    THANKS!

    I think the best / strongest / hardest cases are the MacTruck
    They aren't light but mine's been round the world a few times and kept my MBP safe in some crazy situations (like schools can be)

  • What's the best case for my Macbook Pro Retina? College Student.

    I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro Retina and since I will be going to college next year I am looking to protect my laptop. Any suggestions on cases or anything? Thank you!!

    I wouldn't bother. The case is a tough, metal shell.
    Putting any sort of covering over that is just going to attract dirt, dust and possibly interfere with cooling.

  • Best Boot Camp version for my MacBook Pro?

    Hi guys!
    So, I've got a 17" MacBook Pro from 2007. It's listed as "macbookpro2,1" in System Profiler, if that helps. I've got the Windows 7 Release Candidate installed on a Boot Camp partition running BC version 2.0. I guess I'm a bit confused - what is the "correct" version of the Boot Camp drivers for this machine?
    I bought Star Trek Online today, and I just want to make sure I'm getting the best performance this trusty old Mac is capable of!
    Thanks,
    Huxley

    Hi Huxley,
    Windows 7 BootCamp Driver support requires both the Snow Leopard install DVD, which contains the 3.0 version of the Drivers, and the 3.1 driver update which can be download from Apples download site.
    The version number of the BootCamp Assistant in OSX is either 3.0 when you use OSX Snow Leopard or 2.0 if you use OSX Leopard.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986
    To my knowledge the Windows 7 Release Candidate is only valid for use till the end of March, so it might be time to buy the full version.
    Regards
    Stefan
