    My MBP pro will be here tomorrow or the day after, and I would really like to get a nice sleeve for it. Any suggestions?

    I'd suggest a Huzzk, their water resistant and have some great designs. I bought one a few months ago and when it arrived it had a problem, (caused by the courier) i emailed Huzzk and they sent me another out straight away.

    wow these look awesome, thanks for the tip. going to strongly consider one of those.

    seems pretty heavy though at 0.82 kg...

    also - how waterproof is that? is the zipper waterproofed? would you throw it in the bathtub? from the images it doesn't look like the zipper is water-proof. still.. i like the designs.

    I suppose it is a little heavier than other sleeves but when you put a MBP in it and then into a bag its really not noticeable at all.

    The question needs to be asked...how dumb are you if you will use your MBP in the bath? Are you going to be rafting with your MBP, scuba diving, hiking through the Amazon tracking down rare orchids? Just what exactly do you need a super water proof case for?

    And, if you are going to be using your MBP in the Amazon, let me know how it holds up. I want to go there also.

    Ummm, I live in Vancouver, Canada. It rains in this city.....a lot. I figured it would be prudent to get a sleeve that would protect my notebook from any moisture that could get through my bag.

    Plan B would be to wrap my notebook in your smug, sarcastic attitude.

    Haha, relax, im just giving you a hard time. No worries. I think it is a good post. It was just funny to hear you say can you throw it in a bathtub. :) A little teasing was in order. Sorry if I offended you.

    I figured as much, but I couldn't resist the urge to make an evil comment. When I do that at work I get in trouble. :D
