I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I'm looking for a sleeve for a macbook air -13 inch, that has molle on the outside to connect it to a molle panel inside my backpack. I have seen one or two sleeves that have molle on the front side but not the back where I would like to attach it. Any suggestions are welcome as are custom suggestions. I would like to keep the cost to no more than $50 USD.

I'm not sure who is producing such a thing buy for something like that I think I would try contacting Eric at Skinth Sheaths. He's on the forum here as Metropolicity and he does great work.

Otherwise I think I'd check out something "close enough" from 5.11 Tactical or Maxpedition. I don't think I'd trust anything less for a computer, especially not an expensive one like a Mac.

Make sure to get something that includes a layer of hard protection with a layer of padding against the machine. I've seen 3 MBA's with broken screens due to pressure or impact on the outside of the case. Thin has its price.

I just got an older MBA to see if it will do what I need for work. I haven't bought a case or anything for it yet, and am considering making a hard sleeve from Lexan, wet suit material, and shock cord. Probably with the Lexan thermo moulded to the MBA then sandwiched between layers of the wet suit material.
