Most Helpful Customer Reviews 164 of 166 people found the following review helpful. Surprisingly, by B. Mah INTRO disappointed I saw was an STM neoprene sleeve for my old 15 "MacBook Pro (which I threw in the laptop compartment of my backpack Oakley), and while there is great and fits tight, I found that below. .. difficult conditions such as jam-packed with my backpack (my job requires me to carry around a lot with it) ... that the zipper would be a little (it somehow found its way through the "inner lips "guard) is so small scratches on the MBP and all neoprene sleeves, it could not be prevented from buckling when have something solid in the middle of a difficult time. since bought a new unibody 13" MBP to replace the old laptop, I was on one sleeve, a tender look that could be a little more protection. I have a lot of research and decided to take the plunge into LArobe "Moka". Here's my take: Pros + nice design ... t But I found an elegant sleeve of the control + More (Isis Dei has some nice sleeves) cheaper than comparable handles + memory foam is thicker than the neoprene .. looks like it can take more hits, scratches and even prevent some minor irregularities + zippers are on the fingers for a secure grip + a contoured handle little easier (vs neoprene) when you only handle CONS - very disappointed Sustainability on the outside. The sides of my neck has some wear straight out of the box (white thread ran under the brown layer on the sides) are shown. I suspect that the brown is really going on with the times and fade. Never had this problem since two years with my neoprene sleeve. -. Not a perfect fit for the 13 "unibody MacBook / Pro There is very little space to both the width and height of maneuver and can I use the laptop at home in the sleeve slide This is not a big deal, except '. The inside of the base is smooth with something (like the Incase sleeves) is lined. It's the same material as the outside..so a bit course and rigid. It's still fabric so I don't think it'll scratch my MBP but I'd feel better if there was a softer lining. - The "inner lip" guard doesn't seal shut when the sleeve is completely zipped up...especially at the top of the sleeve. If the zippers on my old neoprene sleeve could get through the inner lip when sealed, then I'd think the same would be even more likely here. I've since made a point to have both zipper tabs resting on one side of the sleeve (where the seal is the tightest). CONCLUSION Overall this is still a decent sleeve. The memory foam does offer more protection against scratches and small drops from your typical neoprene sleeve. I was all ready to give this sleeve a 4/5 because I knew it wasn't going to be a perfect fit for my MBP (keep in mind, there are very few cases right now that are made specifically for the new 13" unibodies) but the lack of a proper zipper seal and surprisingly shoddy exterior quality really killed my enthusiasm for the LArobe I'll still be using the case since I almost always throw it in a backpack with a padded laptop compartment but I'll probably replace it as soon as I feel like dropping $30+ for a better alternative. BEFORE BUYING, ALSO CONSIDER: * Booq Taipan S (supposedly perfect fit for 13" unibody MacBook/Pros...otherwise pretty much like every other neoprene sleeve out there) * Tom Bihn Brain Cell (great fit and innovative protection...but very pricey...and bulky if fitting into a backpack) * Isis Dei Sleeves (memory foam and nicer designs IMO...c could have the same drawbacks as the LArobe) * Applesac (really popular with Mac forum users) 51 of 54 people found the following review helpful Too big for Macbook Pro By George M. I just bought this for my new 13" Macbook Pro (same dimensions as the older 13" unibody Macbook released last year) and was disappointed at the fit of this case. The build quality is very good -- I like the inside zipper protection and the foam it's made out of. It feels like it could withstand a small bump or two..
