Looking for Cheap but Quality Case for My MacBook 12"

Ltomsuggate on 30/07/2016 - 19:09

Hi there, I recently got a MacBook 12" and am a little concerned about it getting damaged in my bag on its own.
I was looking at getting a case for it (preferably a sleeve) and wanted to know if any of you guys had any suggestions for one.
Thanks :D

    The AmazonBasics sleeves are pretty nice.

    Apparently the 11.6" sleeve fits well: http://appgameblog.com/best-2015-12-inch-macbook-covers-and-…

    Acrylic cases on ebay, I've had the same case since 2014 cost around $13 when I bought it

    I have a The Snugg one and have found it absolutly perfect for my 12" MacBook.

      They look nice but I was hoping for a lower price, probably around $20

    Don't ask, don't tell.

    But since you asked:
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331798198309?_trksid=p2055119.m14…
    I bet you will end up buying it, just like I did ; )

    (It took me about 10-hours of searching until I landed on this unit)

    Looks great. It doesn't add bulk, light, great to take with you, or throw in a bag. The felt-material is soft to prevent scratching the Aluminium and helps remove some fingerprint. It opens from the portrait side, which is FAR superior to the 99% of sleeves out there that open halfway, from the corner, or from the landscape side.
    And it's <$20 !

    I think it should be on Ozbargain.

      Hi, I'm looking at this but wondering how nicely the 13" will fit my 12" MacBook, or will it squeeze into the 11"?

      • Kangal on 01/08/2016 - 19:41

        The 12" Macbook, the one with the slowish Core M processor and single USB-C port ??
        I think that's around the size of the 11" Macbook Air.

        So it would be the 11" model you'll be looking at.
        Does this sleeve seem like the sort of one you were looking for?

        • tomsuggate on 01/08/2016 - 19:45

          Even though it has a slow processor it does the job for me, I bought it for portability. This looks like a great sleeve, will probably buy it.

          @tomsuggate:
          No worries.
          Weren't trying to diss your laptop, just needed to make sure we were talking about the same one.

        • tomsuggate on 01/08/2016 - 19:48

          @Kangal: No worries, thanks for the help

        measure it.

        11" : 316 x 220mm

        13" : 340 x 255mm
