I haven’t seen the Wollenex case anywhere apart from the US yet, must be looking in the wrong place ??.
I am throughly delighted with the case, it compliments the MBP perfectly with no obvious anomalies. I noticed a review for fingerprint marks on the exterior of the shell and yes I have noticed that too. Nothing to worry about and the case easily wipes clean, show me a surface at this price point that doesn‘t show marks! I’m not worried about it at all.
I would note the case is slightly smoother/slippery than the Woolenex case, obviously yet worth mentioning.
I will probably try out the Woolenex case if they ever get stock in my local Apple store.
There is zero problem with the hinge at any angle including fully opened. There is a slight gap between the top/bottom case when fully opened that i could just make out & hopefully you can see it in this picture.
I included a fully open setting and my own preference screen adjustment too.
After 6 months having my 16’’ MBP sitting in a slightly modified 2015 15’’ case I am delighted.
I hope you get your case soon ?
Very nice, appreciate the detailed hinge photos.

Hi All
Just thought I would provide some info on the incase textured hardcase with woolenex. Fits quite well to my 15" MacBook Pro, opens all the way and there is no gaps between case and MacBook Pro. However, as mentioned previously, when I attempt to push down on the front of the MacBook Pro where the lip is to open it up, there is a bit of give and I am able to push it down. I bought this as protection within my house as it rarely goes outside.
I've also purchased the navy blue leather sleeve so will see which one I prefer before sending one of the two back.
If anyone has any questions or can offer advice on the leather sleeve, it would be appreciated. Obviously there is a massive price difference between the two but if there is anything else I should be aware of please let me know.
Thanks

Does anybody know anything about Native Union cases? I am interested in this one https://www.nativeunion.com/collections/macbook/products/stow-slim-for-macbook
Heads up they now have a choice of 5 colours for the MBP case https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/produ...nchmacbookpro2019-shell&fh=4592%2B463f%2B4c0f
Got one of these today for my new MBP 13. Already had one for my iPad. Awesome value, and a decent product. Cable pouch a nice bonus too.
I bought this one in the blue colour off Apple for my MBP 13 (which hasn’t arrived yet). I like the minimal slim design. The front pocket is quite tight though so ok for cords. There are some reviews on YouTube but they are all non-English.
I have a separate case for adaptors, ports and chargers I bought on Amazon which is very good quality considering the price.

Got this for my 16-inch https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YS757MJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It fits a make MBP. Don't think it will fit one with a case on it. The accessories pouch was smaller than anticipated but it does fit the power adapter and a mouse but not the extended power cord. Hope that makes sense.

The Incase website looks like its removed some of the poor reviews for the 16" Woolenex which bumps its rating up to 4/5 stars.
Does anyone have the Incase Tenseralite sleeve for the 13 inch retina macbook pro (2015)? I bought this for my 2020 macbook pro and I just realize now that its bigger than it needs to be (new macbook has yet to arrive in the mail so I cant try it out yet). Debating whether I should keep this or return it, if I return it are there any cases for the 2016-2020 macbook pro's that offer the same type of protection on the sides?
Well, I watch this topic from time to time, though I never participated here.
I own a mbp 15 late 2013.
But for sure my new mbp, this year or the next one, will be the new 16'.
I want to tell my experience here, from similar product.
I bough such a case, external shell, plastic, almost transparent,
but not from a known brand.
It was good for many years.
Protection was ok regarding my mbp.
But when I finally decided to remove it after many years,
I saw something really bad.
The bottom part, the main body of mbp (keyboard, main computer, not the screen),
was slightly deformed!
I could not believe in my eyes.
It was almost a little bit of curved!
I could not see it all these years while the machine was inside the shell.
I seriously suspect the case about this deformation.
I think alloy is easy to be deformed as well.
I have to say that I am very careful about the handling of my computers, cleaning, etc.
I suspect that the external case I had all these years in mbp,
somehow internally supported the machine in wrong angles,
and also the absorb of the pressure on the track pad, may have played a role too,
because mbp was not all alone on the desk but inside this shell.
Do you observed such bad incidents yourself?
I know that many of you possibly do not keep your machines for so long.
Or possibly the branded cases are really better in this topic?
I do not know.
All I know, it is that I really want an permanent external case for any mbp I own,
but I do not want to face once again such situations.
I want to hear your opinions and experiences.

How are you liking it so far? This is one of the few I’ve had my eye on. I can’t decide whether I want a sleeve like this or something with a handle/zipper.Got this for my 16-inch https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YS757MJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I like it so far, but I've only been using it to store my MacBook when I move from my bedroom to my living room. It goes in another bag... It has a good grip and adequate padding. However, if you want to carry it on its own, I would suggest one with handles because the MBP16 is a tad to heavy to just carry around in a sleeve. Does that make sense?
Totally does, thanks for your input! I think I’m going to order one, I’m WFH currently and I think for now I mainly want something for moving it between rooms/storing it. I have a nice backpack if I really need to to carry it somewhere.
Incase used to do some premium designs in collaboration with artists. Everything is so boring now.
Saw this one on Etsy. Looks good and it’s pretty cheap so I’ll give it a go.
Anyone else tried it?

I emailed Incase about the 2020 MacBook Pro cases and this was their response....

Man I feel bad that Incase has had a such a difficult time getting measurements for a machine that has been only been out for 192 days. We should all really give them some more time to get it sorted out.
EDIT: I am referring to their ICON sleeve for the 16" MBP. I've reached out several times and most recently they gave me a similar answer about the virus slowing down things.

Hi, does anyone have this Incase Flat Sleeve for MBP 16" from Apple Store?
I like its slim and light-weight design, but one thing I'm concerned about is that the opening looks too small and the zipper would scratch my MacBook when putting in/taking out. Is there anyone who tried this sleeve?

Exactly what I think as well. I’d avoid it. Incase is a brand that seems to be going downhill fast if this is the kind of crap they’re putting out.
I have used a basic Be-ez sleeve made of "Low Resilience Polyurethane" for a long time now; both 13" MBP's I used to have, were sufficiently protected during my travels. I can't seem to find (or connect) to the website of Be-ez anymore, are they still producing sleeves?
So now I'm looking into a new CushCase sleeve : "heavyweight canvas, a foam centre layer and an ultra soft fleece lining". Any experiences with the quality of these CushCase sleeves?
