Any recommendations?

Looking for a nice sleeve for my MBA to stop it from getting scratched when I put it in my laptop bag or to carry it in when not taking my laptop bag.

Something like this I suppose;

Although something like this would also be good;

A sleeve and the ability to carry with a strap. Although I wouldn't touch Michael Kors as generally the people I see sporting that name think they're wearing Gucci and those who buy the watches think they've bought themselves a Rolex, but that's another story!

I didn't go for the sleeve option, instead, I went for the speck hard shell case, which adds about 1mm top and 1mm bottom to the air, but it's a great design, perfect fit and now has a ton of scratches on it which would have gone directly onto the mac.

I've got a 13" MacBook Pro with a Speck hard shell case as well - well worth the money - it's lasted me 2 1/2 years so far and my MacBook itself is still immaculate due to it protecting it so well.

I've got a speck hard shell on my macbook, well worth it. fits pretty well and gives it a bit of scratch resistance for the case.

I picked up a really nice sleeve at TK Max, (yes I know) was £10 IIRC.

I picked up a 'The Snugg' wallet on Ebay for about a tenner which is great (doesn't have a strap). They are about £30 direct.

IMO the hard case detracts from the aesthetics... Part of the reason I bought it.
