    We are going to need more information to help you out. You want a hard enclosure for your laptop? Well what is your laptop brand and model. Also remember metal has poor shock absorbing properties so perhaps other materials may be a better choice.

    What kinda of budget are you looking at here? Any particular reason you need a ruggedised case in the first place?

    Here( link), it has 13,15,17 inch forms. The sleeve has hardplastic that surrounds it to prevent it from crushing I think.

    Wow, great community here!

    Meantime I have bought an HP elitebook 8540w laptop with magnesium chassis. Its only weak point it is easy to scratch.

    In my previous question I meant a product I saw in this web site a metal enclosure, like an "armor" that fit like a skin on the laptop; may be another fabrik would be better schock proof; I do not which may be...

    Thank you all :)
