Looking for a great case

Hey, I am looking for a great case that will fit my 15in MBP, one that will not only protect it if it falls, but functions like a brief case, I want a place to put pens and documents, this does not mean it has to look like a breifcase. I just want a really professional looking case that is semi tough. Any ideas?

Another option: I bought a nice one at REI for PWB in March, and now use it for MBP. Has space for my wacom tabet and also small 3x5 or so firewire HD, and of course power adapter and misc stuff. notebook compartment can be removed and carried separately. Very happy with it.

  • Looking for Hard Drive Case for G4 HD

    I am looking to access a hard drive from my old G4 by putting it in an external case. I have been told this is doable but have never done so.
    Any suggestions on where to look for an external case and what I need to know to choose the correct one form my HD?
    Thank you,
    Marcantonio

    Hi, you need to know if the drive is IDE/ATA/PATA, or SATA, and Firewire is far better than USB...
    The old ATA cases are getting hard to find, here's a SATA case...

    Here's a universal way if it doesn't need to be bootable or require speed...

    Which actually works for any drive.

  • Looking for a hard case

    I have a 17" MacBook Pro (non-unibody) and I am looking for a good hard case for it. Not something that stays on it, but like a sleeve type thing that will protect the laptop while it's in my bag. It needs to provide protection from dents and would be great if it was padded. However, it cannot add too much bulk (some is OK) so it will still fit in my bag. Any suggestions?

    I also highly recommend MacTruck for extensive travel although I don't consider doing so as overkill. I use this when traveling by plane and train. Otherwise, for everyday travel usage I use Speck cover.

  • Looking for a clear case that protects screen and click wheel

    Hi,
    I've got a new 8GB Nano. I'm looking for a case to protect it from general dings and scratches. What I'm looking for is a clear case with screen and click wheel protection. Anyone know where I can find one? So far, all I've been able to find are clear cases that protect the screen but leave the click wheel unprotected. Or is click wheel protection not that that big of a thing?
    Thanks!

    There don't seem to be many cases available yet for the new Nano. I ordered one from iSkins, a company in Canada. You can check their website.

  • Looking for a leather case for the ipod Touch 4G

    Hello everyone,
    I'm looking for a real *GENUINE LEATHER* case for the iPod Touch 4G, preferably one that has a belt clip.
    I just wasted $34 on the new Belkin "genuine leather case with belt clip" only to find out it smelled like rubber and felt nothing like what real leather would feel/smell like. Totally disappointed in Belkin advertising their cases as genuine leather when in fact they are made of cheap synthetic leather.

    You can right click your video file, go to "Get Info", and select the Video tab and change the file type to Movie, TV Show, or Music Video, and then once that video is synced to the iPod it will be sorted into the proper location.
    You can also create playlists of your video content. That would be the easiest/best way to get your genre classification system going.

  • Looking for a Hard Case/Shell for my new Retina MacBook Pro 15"?

    I am looking to buy a shell/case for my rMBP (October 2013) it hasn't arrived yet, but obviously I want it to be protected asap.
    I don't know what the model number is, but it is the lower spec 15" Retina MacBook Pro that I have purchased. How can I make sure that a case I buy will fit?
    Will any 15" rMBP case fit, or has the size changed for this upgrade?
    I am looking for either a black/clear, shell/case that will attach to the back of the lid to protect it. I am looking on eBay at the moment, as I have a voucher to spend on there anyway. Can someone recommend a shop/seller or a particular product?
    I am in the UK, so I would obviously prefer to buy from a local seller.
    Thanks!

    I purchased the Hardshell Case for 13-inch MacBook. It offers a durable hardcase construction that securely covers your notebook. It provides a frosted hardshell exterior, soft-touch coating, raised rubber feet, thermal vents, and trouble-free access to all features.
    Features
    Excellent notebook protection
    Exterior rubberized soft-touch coating
    Precise cut-outs for access to magnetic power cable, headphone and microphone input jacks, CD-ROM drive, battery level check button, and all side ports
    Vents and rubber feet elevate notebook from surface, allowing notebook's internal fans to circulate air more freely
    Simple to use and easy to clean
    I really love it. My friend has dropped their macbook (the case was on) on the concrete and nothing happened to the computer.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Looking For Strong Mac Case

    Hi,
    I have a 13" MacBook Air, Mid 2013.
    I am really worried about dropping my MacBook and breaking it. I am looking for a reasonably priced have duty case, like the ones that snap on to it and I have full flexibility of the hinge and that.
    Could anyone recommend a good case for my Mac.
    Thanks.

    Having tried every brand out there, I can honestly say that Booq is one of the best!

    I highly recommend their Vyper M3 sleeve too!
    Good luck!

  • Looking for a GREAT mini DVD Camcorder that is compatible with my MAC! :-)

    Ok. Here it is: I have a Sony DCR-TRV350 Camcorder, which I LOVE. However, the DVI port on the camera is screwed up. I bought a new DVI firewire, alas, to no avail. I cannot get the information from the camera to my Mac. So, making my fun, goofy movies is being inhibited by a fix, that will cost nearly as much as a new camera. I am looking for a new camera, that takes advantage of the firewire port on the Mac. Any suggestions? I would prefer a Sony. I am looking for advice from someone who knows, better then I, (that should be easy) of a good camcorder (miniDVD?) that works well with a Mac. I just want to have fun, bringing in footage to iMovie HD, editing, and posting them to Metacafe. Any and all input is, of course greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!
    ~ George

    "..I wish Apple would tell me "why" a standard MiniDVD camcorder would not be compatible with I-Movie, because I can not think of a single logical reason.."
    iMovie was designed to work with "DV" digital camcorders. These were, and are, camcorders which record video in a particular method onto DV, or miniDV, tape. iMovie wasn't designed to import or edit analogue 8mm or Hi-8 recordings, so it won't. iMovie can't handle an incoming analogue (non-digital) signal. (..But if you put one of those 8mm or Hi-8 analogue tapes in a Digital-8 camcorder such as the Sony DCR-TRV350, mentioned in the very first post, above, you can then import it as a digital signal through the camcorder's FireWire connection..)
    Various other digital recording methods came and went, and Apple have supported some, but not others: there was the short-lived Sony "microMV" tape format which Apple didn't support, although you can handle that with MPEG Streamclip. Then there was HDV, which Apple does support ..but they did that by creating an Apple Intermediate Codec, into which the MPEG-2 video format of HDV tape gets converted during import.
    Then there were various MPEG-2 DVD video formats, and the various movie formats used by solid-state memory-chip camcorders. Now there's AVCHD format, for memory chips, hard drives and DVDs.
    These methods of recording video just keep multiplying - because the camcorder manufacturers want to offer "Look! Ours-does-it-better!" claims. But just because they produce a camcorder which records video, that doesn't mean that Apple (which doesn't make camcorders) has to provide a means to edit all these weird formats which keep springing up. Surely, the camcorder manufacturers should be providing Mac-compatible, or iMovie-compatible, editing methods for their devices, shouldn't they?
    As Thomas mentions, there's a list of some compatible camcorders (see above) ..but that's a list of camcorders which are compatible with the latest iMovie '08 (..which can deal with some DVD camcorders, but not those which record DVDs in AVCHD format..) and AVCHD format can be handled only by Intel-based Macs, anyway.
    So for an MPEG-2-based mini-DVD camcorder and iMovie HD 6, copy the files into your Mac, and then use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to iMovie HD 6 compatibility.
    For iMovie '08, some miniDVD camcorders are compatible (those using MPEG-2 recording). For DVD camcorders using AVCHD recording, you may have to copy the recordings onto your Mac, and then download and use "Voltaic" to convert the recordings into iMovie-editable format.
    "..I can not think of a single logical reason.." ..the reason is that manufacturers just want you to buy these cameras. But they don't give a hoot that you can't edit the material they record, and so it's left to Apple, and other software developers, to try to devise some way to "unravel" the compressed recordings for you, and make them editable.

  • Looking for a 3g case with a belt clip

    I don't like carrying my 3g around in my pocket, so I've been looking around for a case with a belt clip, but haven't had much luck finding one. I'm looking for something that comes with a hard case for the phone, and a clip I can just snap my phone into when I'm done using it. I have a nice incase case for it now, but I'd like to have something to clip it on my belt.

  • Looking for a carrying case for the Jawbone

    I just bought the earpiece today and does anyone know a place/site that sells a case specifically made for the jawbone???

    The only place I know about for that right now is ebay. I searched the case for a Jawbone, I don't know if this is what you are looking for but I'll post if anything new comes up soon.

  • Looking for a great semi-pro vocal mic

    hey-
    I'm looking for an excellent semi-pro vocal mic. willing to spend up to $600-700. Right now I've got my eye on the SE Electronics Z3300A, which looks to be an excellent choice, but i'm open to suggestions.
    I'm not particularly looking for personal favorites... I'm looking for tried and true industry vocal mics that deliver under any situation, and always produce excellent tone, good warmth and presence without being too abrasive.
    thanks!
    chris

    If you can pump your budget up just a smidge, the AKG 414 is an industry standard condensor mic that sounds great on just about everything, including vocals. It has a very clear vivid sound, and you'll find it takes care of lots of condensor mic needs really well. I've seen it in most studios, it also sounds great as a room mic, distant amp mic, even nice as a kick mic
    It doesn't have the warmth and character of more expensive vocal mics, like Neumanns, but cheaper-priced condensors sometimes have too much dark character for me. This would keep your tracks more on the clear and pro side.
    Zzounds sells it for $900.
    Don't know where you live, but in NYC B&H Photo Video used to have a room where you could test out microphones. Really best to get your mouth in front of a bunch of options to find the right one.

  • Looking for snap on case for 13" MBP

    I had a Speck snap-on acrylic shell for my 13" unibody MacBook but apparently Speck hasn't released an updated version for the 13" MBP. Does anyone else know of a similar type case that is available now?
    thanks!

    I am in search of protection or a cover for my new MacBook Pro 13" and so far have not been succesful either. I have e-mailed Speck's asking for a rough estimate of when the covers will be available for the new 13" pro. My husband also has a new 13" pro and has gotten the following protection for his:
    http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/apple-macbook-13-inch-2nd-gen-cases-covers-s kins-shields.php
    He is 100% happy with it. I however, am looking for color and more protection. I believe the zagg only makes the laptop scratch-resistant.

  • Looking for TX hard case

    I have an aulminum hard case for my TX now, but last night my wife dropped it and broke off one of the little tangs that slides into the spine of the TX. So now I'm looking for another one.
    I carry my TX in my back pants pocket, so I need something that will bear up under my weight. I've had this one for a year or so and it has held up pretty well: http://www.amazon.com/Palm-TX-Armor-Case-Metal/dp/​B000FV8S58
    But the case does bend and I occasionally have to reshape it.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello!
    Rhinoskin have put out some durable case and you can check this one out here .  Your problem is putting the device in the backpocket changes things so you really need casing with very good tensil strength.  Issue with that is that most of the alloy based ones are using anodized alluminum which is good but its relative to the cumulative stress it is subjected to over time.  Doesnt matter how much weight were talking, over time the alloy will flex and damage to the pda can occur.
    Their are some titanium-based ones which can do the trick but their very costly and hard to find, oftenly made on demand instead volume.  I'm reminded of the InnoPocket TiPro Titanium Hard Cases back in the Tungsten T series but not cetain if they got one for the Palm TX. They were a little heavier than you standard alluminun casings but thats the prices for strength.
