WaterField Designs has unveiled a new carrying case for the recently debuted Mac Studio, allowing users to transport the desktop computer in a more protected fashion.
Although not technically a portable machine, the Mac Studio has a relatively small form factor compared to other desktops. WaterField has run with the Mac Studio's size for its latest Apple accessory.
The Mac Studio Shield Case is a sleek carrying solution that cushions the Mac in impact-resistant padding and a plush lining. On the exterior is leather and ballistic nylon, or waxed canvas in some variants.
On the bottom of the case is a layer of high-grade neoprene that provides additional protection when the case is set down. Other construction details include waterproof YKK zippers, a plush-lined front pocket for peripherals or accessories, a sturdy leather handle, and metal D-rings for an optional strap.
WaterField says that its Shield Case is meant for users transporting the Mac Studio from home to office, station to station, or office to field.
The WaterField Mac Studio Shield Case retails for $129 and is expected to ship April 8.
Apple's Mac Studio starts at $1,999 and provides more power than its more expensive Mac Pro counterpart — at least, until that device is refreshed. It's available to order now and officially launches on Friday, March 18.

I suppose you could repurpose an old bowling bag to carry your Mac Studio around while you're waiting for your dedicated Mac Studio case to arrive. The advantage of the bowling bag is that they usually have space for shoes, so you can bring along your favorite pair of coding shoes with you too.
Apple needs to offer the Studio in Space Gray.
The companies that manufacturer silicon products need to come up with a sleeve for the Studio - for those who don't like the standard aluminum offering that Apple is currently providing.
This case look slike a really good buy for the money!!
Space Gray? That’ll be the Mac Pro version when it arrives - but yes Space Gray is nicer than Silver imho.
Is carrying your desktop around a thing? If so, is there a case for the Studio Display we should look out for?
