    Hey, has anyone here used this for there MacBook Pro?

    http://www.macally.com/EN/Product/ArticleShow.asp?ArticleID=205

    If you have, what are your thoughts on it?? Is it good quality? Is it instantly noticeable as leather? (I prefer it not to be) I wish they had a suede version.

    I'm stocking up on new accessories since my MBP will be here Tuesday. I need a protective cover for it like the Macally, and a good laptop bag.

    I'm thinking about this bag

    Its gotten great reviews, and its high quality & rugged, & Skooba is a good company.

    If you have any other recommendations I would love to see them!


    Thanks

    Frank

    My gripe with this is that it leaves even less breathing room around the only ventilation on the MBP along its back side. It will make your MBP run hotter, and it wont protect it that much tbh. Youd still be shopping for a new laptop if you dropped it with this thing on.
