recommended cover/case for MBP13?

I just got my MBP 13, I'm wondering if there's a recommended cover/case I should get. Also, which keyboard cover?

 

Keyboard cover = shaggymac.com

 

I just got one of these

Clearly not for everyone but I don't worry about the computer in there.

This is the closest thing to a Mac Toughbook I could find.

Speck and incase make different hardcases and sleeves.

I prefer incase, but go to an apple store and you can check out both.

 

I have the Macally BOOKSHELL2. Good/cheap protection, leather is pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R1X6OS/ref=oss_product

I currently use the Xgear Shadow Carbon Fiber shell. A bit expensive, but it looks very nice and has a cutout for the glowing Apple logo (call me vain ) Also note that it is carbon fiber FABRIC, it isn't hard to the touch. Basically the same as the BOOKSHELL2 so cost may be hard to swallow. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0023VKA18/ref=oss_product

 

I don't understand why people buy hardcases.

Dirt gets trapped in between and it will scratch your macbook like sand paper. Ive seen it happen to many many laptops.

Buy a sleeve, any sleeve.

 

Well I typically keep my laptops (Mac or otherwise) in pristine condition, but the soft aluminum unibody is too easily scratched/dented. I just set my MBP down on a pen cap by accident and it put a small gouge in the bottom of my case After that, hard case it is! I do have a sleeve too...in which case when I travel I put my hardcased MBP into the sleeve and then into my laptop backpack's padded compartment

 

I did the invisible shield for the bottom, Moshi PalmGuard for the palmrest and touchpad, then a MacStyle color skin for the lid, keeping the lit-up Apple logo fully visible.

Looks nice, scratch resistant, tough, and doesn't make my lappy a quarter-inch thicker. PM me for pics of this.

The whole solution cost me around 60. It's durable though, and looks like its going to stay nice for a while.

 

My bad. Its a BestSkinsEver bottom piece. It covers the unibody cover, but leaves the screws accessible so I never have to remove it and my bottom cover looks PERFECT.
