    Nothing of the links work. But I would recommend a Zero Shock III sleeve.

    Alot of people have the incase. I was wondering if the incase fits snuggly on the new aluminum macbooks (late 2008)? Also is there some kind of protection against the zipper rubbing the notebook?

    Yeah the three of em seem pretty much equivalent... but most people prefer the Incase... I dunno why.

    Looks the most professional and sleek. The Brenthaven reminds me of a tache (sp?) case for carrying documents and such (like a briefcase, but smaller). And the, Tucano... why on earth would you choose sky blue?!

    Hahah lol forget the blue sky lolll I'd take the dark grey one. It's not the good link I guess. Brenthaven doesn't look bad, and its handle could be pretty useful I guess...

    Why arent you considering the zeroshock 3 ? It seems better than any of the apple sleeves.

    Ebay (from yap2528) might be your best bet.

    I'd also recommend CasePC top loading sleeve in case you plan on carrying the MB in your backpack:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=48605
    It does not have any zippers (so wont scratch the MB), and its top loading, so well suited for carrying in backpacks.
    Ebags carries them. CasePC also sells them directly on their website.

    I'm getting a casePC bag myself.
