My girlfriend is about to leave to go abroad for 8-months to do public health research in Nepal and Bangladesh, and she wants/needs to take her 13" Macbook Pro into the field. What's the best lightweight protective case that can be incorporated into a larger suitcase/backpack, and still provide protection and other added functionality (organization, storage, etc)?
I have used an Incase Neoprene cover before, but feel like they are lacking in protection and mostly protect from scratches. I have also tried the Tom Bihn Brain Horizontal Brain Cell, and while it provides a significant amount of protection it's a bit too bulky to really incorporate into a lighter weight travel setup. Is there something that offers a little less protection, but is a bit more packable?
