What Hard Suit / Case for the MBP17 Unibody?

Hi all,
just got the new MBP17 unibody
Now I'm looking for a suitable Hard Suit / Case for it.
I like the Crumpler Hardsuit that is available, but I do not know whether the NEW MBP will fit in a case designed for the previous model. Especially since the mesurements have changed slightly. Any ideas?
Thanks

I would really recommend only one, for good reason- I've hauled 5 different models of 17" Powerbooks and Macbook Pros around in a Zero Halliburton 4" Computer Case. I've had the case for 5 years of heavy usage, and the case has about 1,000,000 miles on it (and looks it!). But- the foam cutout on the interior is built for the profile of the 17" (my 17" unibody is on order, but I've measured and in spite of the larger footprint than previous 17" MBPs, it should fit fine), and my Laptops have always been in good hands within the confines of the case.
Two things have broke on the case (in addition to various dents and scratches, which give it "character")- the hinge pin is starting to come out- it came out about 2" about 2 years ago, the good news is it hasn't moved out any further. If I wasn't lazy I'd pound it back in.
The second issue is the arm that holds each side of the case together has broke- this is actually a blessing, because now I can fold the case flat and don't have to remove it when going through airport security in the USA. Saves many cringe-worthy moments that I have as i watch my laptop shuffle around in a plastic bin.
It's a timeless, always-in-style (or decidedly retro) look. IMHO, it makes Tumi or Brenthaven look like a joke. I am in technical sales and, as much as we'd like to think that image means nothing, walking in with the ZH, and then taking out whatever late-model MBP I happen to have makes a professional, serious statement about yourself and the product you are representing.
(Here's hoping that my new Unibody and On-Order Gonna-Be-Hackintoshed Dell Mini 9 will both fit into the case).

  • How about a hard-shell case for the Zen Mic

    I recently bought my Zen Micro and the one accessory that I still need to pick up for it is a case. Now I know there is a pouch for it, but what I really want is a something more protecti've to put up with the rigors of travelling.
    I see they have the leather case which covers the entire unit and looks to currently be the best bet to offer some overall protection of the unit. But what I can't seem to find (either through Creative or a third party) is a hard-shell case. I'd love to have a good, solid clamshell-type of case (either hard plastic, or even metal) like you can get for PDAs. I've got a metal case for my Palm and I'm sure its been that device's best friend in terms of protection from all of the bumps and bruises of travel.
    So if anyone fm Creative is peeking in here - that's my big suggestion for you all.
    An if anyone knows if such a case does exist, please feel free to post back.

    Gee I never would have thought about using a search function to do a search ;>
    Yeah I saw this a few days ago - thank you - but its not quite what I'm looking for. If I wasn't clear, I am looking for a hardshell case that completely closes up the unit. This one is cut open on the front for access to the buttons. I was looking for one similar to the leather case where the entire unit is fully enclosed, basically with the only opening being for the headphones.
    I do like the earbuds offered on this website - the ones with the little lapel clip spool.

  • Hard/soft case for the 2nd gen nano?

    I'd really like to buy an 8GB 2nd generation Nano, but am having to delay as i can't find a single case for it (ideally one with a belt clip). I don't want to order a case designed for a 1st gen Nano as i'm not sure it would fit due to the slight size difference between 1st gen and 2nd gen Nanos.
    Are there any cases currently available that are designed to fit 2nd gen Nanos? If not, does anyone know when some might become available?
    Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    In the coming weeks, more and more cases will be released for the 2G iPod nano. You can always go to the online Apple Store too and see what they have available at the moment (tell the store to show you cases compatible with 2G nanos).

  • Hard case for the air?

    Hi all,
    I've ordered an entry level 13 inch macbook air with 4gb ram today. However, I've been trying to find a hard case for my new air for the last couple of hrs without any success.
    Can somebody please suggest to me some cases with a soft inner lining and hard outer shell? Or a hard shell case for the air?
    Thanks

    Hi David,
    Thanks for the suggestion. The Pelican case looks really good, but it’s a bit heavy when combined with the air. The total weight will be the same as my old 15” macbook pro, which defeat the point of me getting the air as a light weight laptop.
    I did found couple of interesting cases from a company called Cumpler.

    Hard Suit Special Edition 13" Air:

    They have a store in central London, so I’ll go and have a look this week.
    Hi n_n,
    I had an Incase hard shell on my macbook pro, and there were few cracks on the corners of the case after few months of use. So I want either a clip on hard shell or a carry case with hard top; bottom and edge protection for the air without adding too much weight.

  • Protective cover/case for the MuVo TX

    Does Creative make like a hard cover/case for the MuVo TX FM? Not the little plastic sleeve that come with it either. Like a complete covering case.

    Check the shop on this website, they should have a protecti've case for the MuVo TX FM although i'm not sure if they make hard cover cases, they should.

  • What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s?

    What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s? If I drop my phone I don't want it to crack or break. How protective is the Gorrila Glass?

    I am using the Otterbox Defender, and it's a great case.
    Gorilla glass is a glass applied to phones (not the iPhone, it does not use Corning branded glass), but the iPhone screen is pretty good against scratches.

    is there a good case for the ipad 2

    I just reviewed 7 different cases for the iPad 2 all marketed towards families -- here's a link http://www.myoverthinking.com/2011/12/overthinking-ipad-2-cases.html
    There are 7 different short videos posted there so you can see the different cases and hear my reviews. I hope my anal retentiveness and overthinking helps you figure out which one you like best! My personal faves -- the Gripcase and the M-Edge Super Shell as well as the Big Grips stand (not the case).

    Hello, dot mac & MobtleMe no longer exist, though it may be possible to still use a dot mac addy... or maybe not if expired.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
        •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 993
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
        •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 587
        •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

  • Best Case for the 3G??

    Hey guys
    I been reading lots about the cases for the Iphone 3G
    Chrome protection is what im wondering about
    My current 3G has some bad scratches on it from the Griffin Hard Case that clips in 2 pieces to it.
    There has to be a case out there that protects the chrome plus not scratching it when you put it on.
    Whats everyone's opinion about a good case with Chrome Protection?

    I have an INCIPIO case i bought at the AT&T store. It comes w/ 2 silicone covers (1 white, 1 black) and a plastic piece that goes over the silicone for extra protection. No complaints so far phone still looks brand new.
    Here is the description i got from their website:

    The SILICRYLIC by Incipio is an innovative 2 part carrying case; a high quality Polycarbonate plastic exterior embedded in a shock absorbing silicone core. The SILICRYLIC offers optimal protection, unparalleled comfort as well as easy access to all features and the iPhone's wide-screen display.

  • 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.
