The Mujjo sleeve delivers style and protection.

The sleeve provides a snug fit for the 15-inch MacBook Pro and is handmade from a lightweight, soft and luxurious water-repellent felt that is complimented by a stylish full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather flap that securely fastens with a single alloy popper.

Inside the Mujjo there are two large compartments, one that securely holds your MacBook Pro and another that would allow you to store additional items such as documents, smartphone or a tablet. Mujjo has also stitched a small additional credit card sized pocket into the main compartment that could be used to hold business cards or slim storage devices.

The sleeve has an understated, contemporary design that is perfect for both business and personal use. Above all the Mujjo is light, well made and looks and feels like a premium accessory that will perfectly compliment your MacBook Pro.

Priced from £67.41/US$83.89/AUD$119.84 (buy direct from Mujjo.com or Amazon) the Mujjo isn’t cheap but it is a fantastic sleeve. It’s lightweight, feels well made and looks great. Above all, it provides the padding you need to keep your MacBook Pro safe and a water-repellent treatment that allows you to use it in all conditions.

We tested the black sleeve, using the latest 15-inch MacBook Pro (it is also compatible with the third-generation model) and it is also available for 12-inch and 13-inch MacBook devices in both black and tan.

As well as the MacBook space, there's space for all your books, other gadgets and lunch. Sorted.

These cases from Speck for the MacBook Pro (with Retina Display) are great, as they protect your MacBook Pro while allowing for normal use of all its functions and ports, as well as being able to open and close it. It’s available in several colours.

The form fitting case snaps on snugly and fits flush, and also has non-slip rubber feet (just like the MacBook itself) so it wont go sliding around on a flat surface – perfect for long typing sessions. Be sure to pick the right one for your MacBook as Speck also still sells this case for the older, disk drive toting version.

Pick it up for the 13in version for around £30/US$15/AUD$56.70.

The BookBook series from Twelve South makes cases for the iPhone and iPad as well as the MacBook, so you can leather bind all your Apple gadgets should you wish. It makes the MacBook slightly bulky, but if you love the look then chances are you won’t mind. 

There’s also the argument that if you’re carrying around what people think is an old dusty tome in public then you’re less vulnerable to theft, which is perhaps true. What’s harder to accept is the high price, but if you want to protect your laptop with a hint of nostalgia for non-digital times, this is a good bet.

You can find the 15in version on Amazon for £69.99/US$98.82. You can also buy it for both the 13in and 15in for $89.99 directly from Twelve South.
