    I'm throwing up the idea of buying a couple notebook sleeves for my wife's macbook and mine. For my old Asus notebook I just bought an eBay sleeve which does it's job fine but doesn't have that tight fit.

    I really like this notebook sleeve from crumpler (crumpler.com.au, an Australian based company) but it's a bit expensive $70 AUD :eek: I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a macbook sleeve, ones that give a nice fit and harder cover for extra protection?

    Thanks.

    It's not quite a sleeve, but I'm a big fan of the Tom Bihn Brain Cell (available in vertical or horizontal orientation).

    It provides a perfect fit, and an incredible amount of protection.

    SFbags.com and booqbags.com also make some very nice sleeves that might be worth checking out for more protection than a typical sleeve.

    These might be more expensive though, as international shipping to you would be expensive.
