I have one of these for my MBP, and it’s top-notch.
I will likely get one for the iPad too - assuming I don’t have a Speck Candy Shell first!

I wonder why the iPad sleeve is $20 more than the sleeve for my 15-inch MBP. Maybe it’s the interior lining and plastic screen protector?
I agree, Waterfield’s cases are top-notch.
