    Hi all, planning to purchase a MBP 13, and want to get one of the heavier duty cases to protect it with. I was looking at both the Vectros Thule case, and the UAG composite case.
    Any opinions on these, or any others I should be checking out??

    Thanks!!!

    I would go with UAG. If you're going to cover your macbook in one of those monstrosity better get the one with a bad ass look and good drop protection...

    ^ Problem with that case and many similar models is that they offer very little protection, I would not want to drop my rMBP in one to those.
