13" MBP slip case recommandations?

    Can anyone recommend a decent quality slip case for my 13" Macbook pro?

    I had a proper targus backpack for my previous 16" windows laptop, with loads of room for other stuff in it. With the diminutive size of the 13" pro, obviously a 13" backpack wouldn't be much use. So what I'd prefer is to use an ordinary backpack and just have my Macbook protected in a neoprene type slip case, envelope, folio type thing.

    Aside from the vast number available on Amazon, it seems that anything that mentions macbook or Apple is twice the price of similar items. I'd just like to be sure of getting something that fits snugly and offers a bit of protection from other stuff in the bag.

    I bought one of these 2 years ago, computer still in perfect knick. Very handy pocket at the front for earphones etc too.

    I walked to college with it in my bag in heavy rain several times and it's absorbed small amounts of water occasionally but never got as far as the actual machine, would definitely recommend it.

    Crumpler Gimp arrived today from Amazon. Exactly what I was after, thanks all!

    Bought an Incase one, absolutely perfect for it.

    I've got an Incase sleeve for my MBP. They come with a faux fur lining now which is great!

    I'm using a Crumpler Gimp for my iPad though and if the Macbook one is the same, you're on to a winner!
