I can't see crap in that photo.

So, it's been more than 24h since that photo and the alleged 'problem' popped up. Since I haven't seen any evidence that this has been reproduced (no new photos, etc.), I'm going t…

Hi everyone - flame me if this point is too obvious - but maybe this is a case of peeling instead of flaking. Just like you can only peel a price sticker off from the edge, have yo…

Hmm..make me think about getting a white, still wish the black was glossy, at least some scratches can be buffed out, but I baby my laptops so I'm sure others would complain.

I find this whole thing kind of hard to believe. I mean, not that its a huge hoax or anything, but this entire thread cna only produce one photo and one, maybe two other occasions …

I think this claim is just an isolated incident. I got my Blackbook yesterday and the finish seems quite durable. Chill out people, there are always going to be a few lemons out th…

Can anyone clarify whether this the matte finish is painted on, or if it's solid black plastic?

The focus of this list is cases that are tailored to fit the Macbook. For everything else there's the "monster thread" (henceforth MT) in the Pro forum. As it turns out, MacBook d…

I'm waiting for something like a neoprene sleeve. I had this for my iBook: This one looks OK:

I'm definately waiting for something neoprene.

I find all 4 in the original post incredibly ugly. InCase makes some pretty nice stuff, guess we have to wait for a 13 inch model.

yes, a basic neoprene zipper sleeve would be great. i'm sure it's coming -- in PINK!!!! the Bihn Soft Sleeve "features an exterior made of durable 500 Denier Cordura and an interi…

Booq is also recommending the Mamba S, although it was made for 12" laptops, supposedly it fits the MacBook. I have the Booq PowerSleeve12 and Mamba XS, the PowerSleeve just barel…

that's good to know. (in the OP, i'm only listing stuff that specifically is designed to Macbook sizes. I can't list every 12" product into which you could "cram" the thing...)

Waterfield Designs makes Neoprene sleeves...I had one for my TiBook back in the day, and i loved it....and they've announced the availiblity of one for the MacBook 13"...I put my o…

I'm waiting for a LArobe case for mine..

Thanks for the info. I put info on the Waterfield case up in the OP. Looks good but pricey, and I'm weirded out by the default option which only has three sides. As long as laptop…

Luckily, the Samsonite case I've been using for like 5 years holds my new MB. If the MB was an inch wider, it wouldn't fit.

I have a Radtech sleeve for my 12" PowerBook G4 and I love it. It's basically just a sleeve made of microsuede that fits over the computer. It doesn't have any padding or anything,…
