Which one have you got? I was told that because they were made for the White/Black MacBook's that they are not that great for the Unibody - is this wrong then?

Any chance of a pic showing how snug it is?

the macbook, in it's sleeve, slides into a slot in my backpack, and i am out the door...

What are some recommendations on how to clean a messenger bag or a backpack? Can they withstand a washing in a front load washing machine for example? Or, would it be safer to try to spot clean any soiled/dirty areas?

Has anyone tried the Crumpler School Hymn 15 for a Macbook Pro?

Hi. I'm looking for a case (preferably something like the Booq Vyper or BuiltNY neoprene) for my spare MBP battery. I already have a case for the MBP but would like to keep the spare battery safe when transporting it in my backpack.

Any pointers? It's the latest 2.53" Macbook Pro Unibody (late 2008) that has the 60-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery.

Posting here since mod told me to (although a case for a notebook is NOT the same as a case for a battery).

I bought BLOBS neoprene sleeves for our MacBook Pro's.
I've been using blue sleeve for 2 month and absolutely love it!

I recently bought one of these:

... and couldn't be happier. If you're looking for real protection (on all 6 sides), this is a good one. Fairly rugged too. Comfortable shoulder strap. I only wish I would have bought it sooner.

You say the Shinza is more padded than a booq?!

Just got my Booq vyper a few days ago. Love it. It's a big improvement over the Shinza that I bought for my macbook.

The reason I didn't like the shinza was it lacked a rigid feel and one of the zippers broke on it early in its life.

I love my Booq cases, slim, tight, and great fit. The ballistics nylon is pretty awesome too.

I've been using a Booq Vyper case inside a medium Waterfield Cozmo for my 13-inch MacBook Pro very happily for a while now. A perfect combo.
