i was originally looking for just a low-profile sleeve, because i already have a n acceptable bag that i carry all of my school crap in... but i didn't find any that i liked. So i just went to the apple store and found this incase. I'm really happy with it. the 15" MBP fits nice and snug in a VERY cool plush fur -padded pocket, and it has plenty of pockets for accessories and a few small books or notebooks.

the only thing i wish it had was a small hand-handle at the top or side... when you take it off of your shoulder there's not much to grab onto.

anyway, i'll let you know how it holds up.

I like it. What'd it cost?

[Ramesh]

NM - I click on the pic - DER. Not too bad.

[acosmichippo]

actually, i think it was only 59.99 at the store. I can't remember exactly, and i never got their email receipt.

[Ramesh]

? That's what's on the weblink you provided too. 59.95...

[acosmichippo]

hmm... it says 69 on my end...

Wow! I'm be more tired than I thought!!! Yep, you're right....

[Ramesh]

So, it's discontinued at Apple. :( Went to this tonight, and no go.... Sucks.

[acosmichippo]

aw, that sucks man. Maybe that explains why i got it for $59...

send the bomber kitty after them.

lol - to top it off, the Apple dude had one and told me how great it was. :laugh2:

I have a sleeve about that color, but I really like this. Going to have to see if the local Apple store has any.

[acosmichippo]

Damn.

So, do you carry this and a messenger full of your school stuff around with you? Because I was just going to get a sleeve for the MBP when I go to school next year and just throw it in a pocket in my messenger bag, but if I can use that for both, that wold be awesome.

[acosmichippo]

so far, i've down-scaled the things i carry with me well enough to use ONLY this bag. Once in a while i have to carry a book or notebook, but not very often.

[jpetticrew]

Sweet. I just might have to pick one of these up from Incase. Since silly Apple discontinued it...
