Ken, the ul30vt-A1 fits snug in the zeroshock III case....from the outside it feels like there's still a little bit of space left so it's not too tight but it the laptop doesnt move around at all due to the insulated parts. you can fit a few small items in the outside pocket like a usb drives, batteries, etc.

Robin, I love the SFBags / waterfield sleeve. It is really very nicely made and it looks cool. I got one that was slightly too large, but they are aggressive in making sure that you are totally satisfied, and they sent another snugger-fitting sleeve right away (without me even asking). Cool company! I highly recommend them to everyone.http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases.htm

I think I've narrowed it down to one of these three cases:http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Double-Pavilion-DM3-1040US-13-3-Inch/dp/B0032GAR2U/ref=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8http://www.amazon.com/MacBook-13-3-inch-CaseCrown-Protective-Shoulder/dp/B00286JFEG/ref=sr_1_50?ie=UTF8&s;=electronics&qid;=1263646019&sr;=1-50Marware Sportfolio 13" MacBook Case Black

Anyone have experience with CaseCrown?http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Double-Pavilion-DM3-1040US-13-3-Inch/dp/B0032GAR2U/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s;=electronics&qid;=1263584244&sr;=1-8I'm looking at that one. The Zeroshock looks nice, but I can't tell how much it's pockets can hold. Doesn't look like much. I was also looking at the iSkin soho. It looks really slick, but no pockets at all. =/

I like the Incase ( INCASE Nylon Sleeve w/Handles for MacBook 13", Graphite ), they don't have them for sale here yet but I've seen them inthe Apple stores for mac book pro 13" and is slim and very well protected and has a zipper for the accessories instead of the larger velcro one that BB has.

TV, Thanks for sharing your experience. Can you share with us the exact size of your sleeve so that we can order the right one the first time?

These are not so cheap (~$40 without extras) but I have heard they are quality, and when you order there the staff is really communicative, and they will really try to make sure you get a sleeve that is a good fit before they send the order. I've got one ordered I could let you know what I think when it comes.http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases.htm

i've been eyeing the ZeroShock III due to some kind folks on this thread recommending it, and i've emailed them twice (!) and still no reply.may i ask if anyone knows what that site is all about? it seems as though they only have 3 items on that site!! 3 items. that must be the smallest offering of any site i've ever visited, but no worries, if the item is great, i'd like to buy it. yet, not if they won't return my emails though...look forward to hearing from you guys. thx in advance.

I narrowed it down to the SFbags sleeve and this one on Amazon:be.ez 100572 LA robe Sleeve for 13.3-Inch Macbooks (Black/Wasabi)Saw both in person. I can confirm that the SFbags sleeve is top quality construction. Very well made and good looking. To use as a sleeve though (not as a bag), I found it a little bulky and heavy. I went with the be.ez sleeve above, which looks really sharp and was confirmed to fit the ul30vt perfectly in a thread at notebookreview.Hope this helps.

No. Since I have never owned a Mac, I have tons of notes that I keep in the case to remind me "what to do..." I have always thought that a pocket should be there. I do love the case, though. It is lightweight and I keep the laptop in the case when I use it-never have to worry about it heating up-case absorbs it. It also has zippers on each side so I just use the one and I can keep it plugged in charging without any fuss.

I currently have a 17 inch MacBook pro with a speck hardshell on it. The sleeve is pretty snug on it and I times I do have to wiggle the laptop out of the bag. I hope this helps.

Its is made for the 13" Macbook Air & other ultra thin laptops, and the Macbook Air I have, fits in the case quite snug. I would imagine it would not fit. You could take you mb pro into a retailer, there you could try and see if it would fit! I personally dont like doing that as it is a bit rude, but hey!!!

My MBP comes out with one hand. The plastic lining-sleeve on my bookarc has a good grip (MBP doesn't slide around when docked) and it doesn't stick to the MBP when I remove it.Keep in mind, it won't fit properly in bookarc if you have hardcase on MBP

Thank you all for the replies. That really cleared most of my concern. Now I'm trying to decide between Macbook Air and Macbook Pro. I still prefer macbook air because of the weight (thanks for bringing up the heavy textbooks factor:). however if it turns out Windows software is necessary, i might be interested in a macbook that's easier to setup two os. From what I heard so far, macbook air would be a headache to do that because of the lack of DVD/CD rom. I still have a lot of time before making the final decision though. Thanks again for your inputs.

Comes wih a cover case that's legit ad all you need. Depending on what kind of computer you have, I have a MacBook Pro, determines whether or not you'll have to use both USB ports. I only need to use one and I know that's the case for the majority of brands out there. In my opinion, it's the best quality and design for what you're paying for.

The Terra 13" sleeve fits great(not to tight, not to loose), without any extra accessories on your mac, such as hard cases etc. With extra accessories it is very tight, but still fits.

Hi, I have Apple MBPro 13" and it is a bit loose. I like it as I can fit few sheets of paper and an envelope additionally inside... I hope it helps... Cheers, B

I love the sleeve, however I do not use the plastic case on my mac ...so I am unsure. Wish I could be more help!

Actually, I don't keep my Pro in the BookBook for long periods because it doesn't fit properly. I use the BookBook to store the Pro when it's not in use or to simply to rest on. I'm sorry that that probably doesn't answer your question.

This is for all models note books. You note must be a slim like Mac Air not thicker than Mac PRO in order to fit correctly. A 13 note inches note will fit more appropriate for this notebook briefcase.

Yes I also have a regular Mac book pro & I have a Speck case for it as well. You just have to make sure you order the correct size for your computer and one that says it's just for the Mac book pro, not the retina display.

Mine is on a MacBook pro 13'' the case fits somewhat tight and does protect the aluminum MacBook case from dents and normal wear scratches and such. I got the cover more to aid in travel protection on flights and such. At school it has I feel contributed preserving the MacBook quit well. Here I not only carry it in the wrap around case (model A1278) but I also use a case logic case, for carrying around in my backpack. Note that in the first part I said fits somewhat well. It is not a tights snapping case, but it is the tightest snap on case that I was able to find. One of the drawbacks is on my lid one of the clips that holds it is right at the point where one sticks a thumb to pry open the lid, which at times has been a nuisances to which I feel is a design flaw. Others wraps or cases that I researched did not have as many clips as this model does to hold it on the MacBook as secure. Hope this helps.

I have a late 2014 model macbook pro 13 inch. The case is good for protection, but like in my review the base cover comes off occasionally. The lid/screen cover is solid and has never come off. I should note, I take my macbook in and out of its carrying bag and open and close the lid multiple times daily.I also have the kuzy keyboard cover, screen protector and palm rest. Those items are a necessity as well and work just perfect. I work in a dusty environment so its vital if I want my macbook to have a good life.
