    I'm going to purchase a MacBook Pro this summer for college in the fall and I want to get a sleeve to protect it when its in my backpack being hauled around. I don't want the sleeve to be too bulky as it needs to fit in my backpack with a few textbooks. I'm not sure how much protection I need from the sleeve though, I'm usually careful with my stuff but I have been known to sling my backpack around occasionally. I found these three sleeves:

    http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases.htm

    Are these three any good? Which of these should I get? Is there a better sleeve for me that I should look at? I really don't want to spend too much money on this.

    I have always liked the Case Logic shuttles.

    One specifically for the MBP, they make one for the 17 also.

    Here is a ton of others for your shopping pleasure.


    EDIT: BTW, I have bought from ebags for some time now and they are great. If you buy from them, look for coupons first there are usually some floating around.
