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.

I just noticed that in the item name, (Speck See Thru Satin Case for 13-Inch MacBook Pro with SD Card Slot and 13-Inch MacBook Aluminum Unibody) it does not mention "hard shell." Some of the Speck Products have "hard shell" in the item description. I've also noticed that customers are giving low ratings to a product that has "hard shell" in the item description. Really not sure if this has anything to do with the fit issues, but they could be two very different products. I guess I'll see when mine shows up soon if it fits my MacBook Pro. :-) I just noticed that in the item name, (Speck See Thru Satin Case for 13-Inch MacBook Pro with SD Card Slot and 13-Inch MacBook Aluminum Unibody) it does not mention "hard shell."

I just bought one for my laptop, and the case is too small. It won't fit, so don't buy it. I am also wondering where can I find that...

Mark: we currently use the SwissGear ScanSmart Laptop with a Lenovo G570 and if anything is over the following dimensions it will be a tight fit. Width14.8 inDepth9.8 inHeight1.4 inThose dimensions fit comfortable. Anything larger isn't suggested.Also the backpacks design puts the laptop at the end of the backpack at your back. The best design thatprotects a laptop is in the middle. The zipper is one and only can be locked with the compartment before it.I store my laptop in the middle. 8 July 2014 (Tuesday)end----- Mark: we currently use the SwissGear ScanSmart Laptop with a Lenovo G570 and if anything is over the following dimensions it will be a tight fit.

I don't have that problem. It's definitely a tight fit, but if it were looser I'd be afraid of it slipping off like other cases I've tried. I've had mine about 18 months (approx) and it's been great. It now has a few very light scratches on it, but better it scratched my case than my Mac. Just bought a MacBook for my fianc and ordered the same cover for her and hers fit perfectly as well. I guess anyone could get one that wasn't manufactured perfectly but I'm two for two good ones. Hope this helps.

They must have shipped it pretty fast then. They shipped mine relatively quicky but it took almost a month to get to me. Worth the wait though. I have a 15 in Mac book and it fits in the bag with room to spare. Assuming that your bag will be the same size as mine, your lap top should fit just fine.

Hey Caroline:Congratulations to a Macbook User.Yes, in my experience with three of these sleeves,each one has fit perfectly.I would think you are doing right.PS: if Jack's bottom clips broke off,I guess that's on Jack.Richard Miller(rrmiller40@gmail.com)

I have a 2015 13" MacBook Pro, and with the Kuzy case attached it fits comfortably into the 13" bag/sleeve I bought for it. Assuming you are buying a sleeve for the purpose of protecting your computer from falls, damage, etc., you would want a snug fit rather than a loose fit, as the whole point is to provide secure (snug) padding for your computer.

Hi Rochelle. I have a 13" ASUS and it is very snug. I would probably opt for another case. This is really best suited for the Mac. I had to add a Velcro patch because the case flap does not close properly with my laptop in it.

Hi! I recommend buying the incase cover that zips on top if you have a hard shell case. Otherwise it's a really tight fit. You can also keep your power cord in the case too which is nice for travel. Hope this helps.

Our MacBook Pro fits loosely inside this cae. For us this is not a problem as we just wanted something to protect our laptop from scratches and protect it if we put it I a larger case for travel. The case seems well made and we love the external pocket for the charger and mouse. If you don't need a skin tight fit, this case is fine.

Amazing finding so many different opinions here about fitting a MX 18.4 Alienware laptop. I believe your are absolutely right from what I can glean now all around. So now its back to researching the right size envelope. It does however look that the "Splash Resistant Neoprene Laptop Case By DURAGADGET" will work. Then taking this DURAGADGET sleeve and putting it into a larger bag to prevent scratching and easy out and in laptop transfer during flights and travel. Many Thanks...

I searched this wondering the same thing and my apple website search gave me no results but I googled the numbers and discovered this Incase Designs Corp Hardshell Case for MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display (Black Frost)

Brenthaven's 11" Trek Sleeve MacBook case. It's a tight fit but that's what you want. This is the best padded case I've come across. My son has one for this iPad/airbender as well as his MacBook. Brenthaven sells iPad cases but I haven't really looked at them yet. The 11" case for MacBook fits perfectly.

I don't know for sure since I did not do this, but based on the roominess of the bookcase and the minimalistic footprint of a candy shell case, I would think that it would work well - and that is actually a great idea to compensate for the fact that the bookcase does not really attach to the mac book very well. So you would basically get a great looking outer zippered case that discusses your laptop when not in use with a very practical and functional candy shell when it is in use. Great idea and I think well worth trying. I would be very interested in whether this option works as I may decide to do this as well!!!!!

I'm wondering the same. I bought a Belkin case here, but it was too small (some reviews said it was big for their 17", so I thought it'd be perfect..).
