    Hey everyone,

    Does anyone have any good suggestions for a laptop sleeve for a MacBook Pro 15.4"? It needs to be something slim enough to fit in a backpack/messenger bag so I don't want a dedicated laptop bag. I really like Built NY's cargo sleeve:

    Unfortunately, they do not ship outside the US and even though I can find UK retailers that sell their other sleeves, nobody seems to have the cargo one for sale.... Grrr. Any suggestions? What are others here using? Thanks.

    I have a LArobe myself. Very happy with it. But it again it would be hard not to happy with it as it doesn't do much :)

    Just pick the prettiest and most affordable one. There is very very little difference between any of them.

    I use a Sepiace - very tough, very simple. Got it in Japan, but I don't know if Apple can sell you one here: http://store.apple.com/jp/product/TK836J/A

    (How do you turn words into a link in that cute way, Rollo and Bedlam?)

    Thanks for the suggestions - links to Irish/UK stores are appreciated because as I mentioned for the Bulit NY one, the problem is with getting one here...

    You use URL tags (add [] at each end to get it to work):

    Cool. I need to start paying more attention to the available shortcuts - I'm doing things the hard way :).

    Thanks - those look very, very nice and look like they could take quite a beating. Not sure if it's too chunky though, the interior photos make it look that way.

    they deliver to Ireland, i have a sleeve and bag for a PC laptop, made from a wetsuit material, nice and snug fit on the sleeve, and the bag has plenty of room.

    Thanks - those look really nice too and the sleeve is what I'm essentially looking for. For some reason, I forgot to check Timbuk2 before posting - which is where I got my bag from and yep, they do sleeves as well:
