So recently I picked up a 13" MBP and I'm still kinda adjusting to it, but loving it so far.
I'll be going out of the country (volunteering in Taiwan) on Jul 2nd for a month and I need a sleeve so I can throw the thing in my backpack without having to worry about scratches and dents.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm looking for something that has like a "second skin" fit and is tailored for the MBP. A good example fo what I'm looking for is the booq Taipan. Hopefully it's not too expensive and either something I can pick up locally or is available in Taiwan as I'm not sure if I can get it shipped to me on time for my trip (I'm in Orange County, CA).
Thanks

not entirely sure...
you may not find anything for it yet... but I believe its the same exact dimensions as the Unibody Macbook 13" was... so sleeves made for that should work.... I think... -
(and thanks again for the MP3Tag!)

Uniea has a hardskin for MB that I find very useful and looks great.

I bought one and like it a lot. Plus it has warehouse in HK, not that far from Taiwan. -
I've got a 13" sleeve made by Incase for my 13" MacBook Pro and absolutely love it.

Fits it like a glove, and provides a nice layer of cushion without being too thick or adding too much mass. A perfect fit for what you're looking for, in my view. -
I HIGHLY recommend the 13" Incase neoprene sleeve. I have one for both my 13" uMB and my 15" uMBP. While I have yet to receive my 15" uMBP; the 13" uMB that my mom uses and lugs to campus everyday still looks brand new. The external casing has absolutely no scratches so there are no complaints with the case at all on this end. Some additional info: the sleeve has really soft fuzzy material inside that protects the casing. Also keep in mind that these sleeves were DESIGNED for Macbooks. They are a little pricey but totally worth it. I included some links for you as well for products that I recommend.

ClearSkies Well no, I'm still here..
Third recommendation for the InCase sleeve.
We use them for my aluMB and my wife's last-gen white MB as well.
