Posted July 18, 2022 Hi, im looking for a sleeve or case for my Asus x16 (which has extremely similar dimensions to the macbook pro 16 so any of those cases should fit). Any recommendations? I think it want to be a hard one not soft, so it does protect against some impact. I will likely put the case with the laptop in it in a backpack, so i dont need a handle or anything like that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 18, 2022 Nomad do some very very nice cases. However they cost a pretty penny so they're not for everyone. They're made of leather and I can confirm from having their phone case and a couple of other parts they're very very well made and impact resistant. https://nomadgoods.com/products/laptop-sleeve-horween-leather-rustic-brown-macbookpro-16-inch - SSUPD Meshlicous - Z170I - i7-6700K - Gigabyte 2080 - 16GB Corsair Vengance - 850 EVO 1TB - H115i ICUE Link- SF600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 21, 2022 I like Thule zipped solutions - Gauntlet: https://www.thule.com/en-ca/laptop-bags-sleeves?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1qDM4oaJ-QIVoG5vBB00LgSgEAAYASAAEgJO4PD_BwE I'm not sure if they have updated for the latest 16" MBP size, so if your Asus is closer to size of the previous gen, you might find more fits.

Cool, but i have one question left, im going for the newer X16 model, and that one is 21,9mm thick, so barely any thicker than the 2022 model, but do you think it would still fit in the Gauntlet? just wanting to be sure about the 2.5mmm difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
