    Any hardshell case will add significant extra poundage, turning your kinda-boat-anchor-though-light-for-what-it-is into a true boat anchor. Get a regular padded sleeve if it's going to live in a backpack.

    If you want to be that guy, get an IM2370.

    Thanks for your input guys. I used to own a macpro and it got multiple scratches all over, in my personal experience the aluminum case is very weak. I ordered one if the best ones from slappa. So far ultra happy. Is not the kind of hard case that we can find on the macpros, but it is good enough.
