    hi guys, heres the situation,

    i have a 15.4 MBP which i store in a booq mamba sling, or inside a booq vyper sleeve when in my other bag.

    i am looking for a light sleeve to protect my computer when sliding in and out of the booq bag ( booq vyper wont quite fit ) preferably i would rather the sleeve not to have a zip.

    i am looking to spend about $50, american or australian the difference isnt huge.

    thanks guys

    I second Sam- go with the Incase it's great I've bought two. One for my 15.4" and now my 17" Macbook Pro. They are pretty durable as well.

    I agree with both Sam and Airman, the Incase ones are wonderful to use (I have one).

    However, if you want one without a zipper, try Case logic - they look pretty nice, and most of the comments have been positive. What I like about that sleeve is that it's reversible. :) Only weird thing is that I don't think you can buy it online straight from them - you have to go to one of their dealers...

    It's actually against NBR rules to post same thread twice in two different places... anyhoo...

    like most people said, the Incase ones are great. The zipper doesn't rub it at all, and it fits very well... however, it does have a zipper. =\

    please don't make two posts on the same topic. i merged your two threads.

    you could try out some of the sleeves from skooba. there is also the waterfield sleeve case, but they are pretty expensive and are somewhat thick. i wrote a review for it, if you are interested. just search for it.
