    Hello,

    As I am patiently waiting for MBP 13" to arrive, I was thinking about the best way to protect it from physical damage because I hear that the aluminum body is prone to scratches and dents rather easily.

    So, I was curious to know how other members on this board are protecting their MBPs. Are you using a sleeve or a case (shell) or both? I was looking to purchase a Incase Neoprene Sleeve and maybe a specks satin shell, but I don't know if that is overkill or is really needed.

    I would appreciate any recommendations and suggestions.

    Thanks!

    any other suggestions and how much does it get scratched from just normal use around the house?

    flight 24...wow I just bought my MacBook Pro and waiting for it to be delivered. Had exactly the same question in mind and without seeing your thread I posted a similar one. I like the Specs seethrough covers but I wonder how much this is only aesthetics..also it's rather expensive I'd say.
