Does some type of a sleeve exist for the 12"? I have a bag that I take to work daily, so I'm just looking for something to almost wrap my 12" PB in, so it doesn't get too beat up?

I've head of something called a Body Glove, but I can't seem to find any info.

Thanks!

Do a search for "Wetsuit" on eBay.

For example, I found this:

I think 2.0 will fit the PB 12".

Its made by Incase. Checkout Willow Design,
Xtrememac, Waterfield Design. I bought my daughter a 'Slyph' sleeve at Willow for her 15PB. Nice design--they have from 12-17 inch cases and sleeves.

Yes, there are lost of sleeves designed to fit into bigger bags.

I was considering the Brenthaven Mobility 1 that Apple sells. I kinda wish the inside sleeve popped out, though. Does anyone have any experince with this bag?

SFBags.com for sure!! Their stuff is great. I have a sleeve for the 12" PB and it is great. I also have one of their bags, which is ideally designed for a gadget nut.

Check it out:

http://www.marware.com/SFSleeves.html

It is perfect for this application, no straps, no velcro, no bulkiness. Just a very protective sleeve with a zipper.

If you don't need to roll the sleeve up I'd recommend one with rigid plastic sides to give you extra protection from dents. Also lined zips to stop it scratching each time you put it in and take it out.

I'm looking for one for my 17" and found Mareware or AcmeMade which do sleeves with hard sides. A friend has the Acmemade which is well made but I'm broke now so I've gone for the Mareware Sportfolio Exteme.
swissarmy are the only other company I know that do a non-fussy sleeve (the Cs2) with hard side protection but it has no "lid".

I'd go with Incase, they make well designed bags. Others look like ass.
