WaterField Designs SleeveCase for MacBook Pro

waterfield_sleevecase.jpgI’ve always been a fan of sleevecases to protect my PowerBooks and my favorite to date is from Waterfield Designs in San Francisco. I’ve been using their sleevecases for years and their fit and protection is second to none.
A sleevecase provides an extra layer of protection for your ‘Book, especially when you carry it in a more traditional bage. Lately I’ve had to carry a more conservative case (a leather bag from Kenneth Cole) and it provides zero impact protection for a notebook computer, by adding a Waterfield sleevecase to the mix I can carry my MacBook around well-protected without advertising the fact that I’m a computer geek.
WaterField is now shipping a SleeveCase designed specifically for the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro SleeveCase is a “slim, durable covering made of a sturdy ballistic nylon shell and a high-grade neoprene interior that envelopes itself around the MacBook Pro for a snug fit.”
The Sleevecase can be used as a stand-alone case, or can be inserted into briefcases, messenger bags, or backpacks. WaterField SleeveCases comes in either a vertical or horizontal orientation, and you can customize them by adding a front flap or a strap for carrying the SleeveCase by itself. A detachable gear holder, the Piggyback, is also available, for carrying accessories like a power adapter, a mouse, or an AirPort Express. I recommend getting it with the works.
The Waterfield Sleevecase for the MacBook Pro (size 25) costs US$39, the Piggyback costs US$22 and both are available now.
