    It seems that both of these companies make a decent laptop sleeve. I was wondering if anyone could give any opinions as to which is the better choice. Thanks, Rob

    Which do you think is the better one? The comparison between these sleeves have been discussed to death. For me they both looked awsome, so i went with the one that offered better protection and was more in line with my budget (e.g. the 14" Shinza ZeroShock). I'm quiet happy with it and I think it looks a lot better in person.

    I think generally Booq is very expensive, and perhaps not worth the cost. I'd go with Shinza.

    Where did you find the shinza 14''? I can't find them anywhere, seems like they only make the 15'' now and say well put your 14'' in there it would fit. Of course it fits, but i don't want my laptop to rattle and bump on the sides. Booq on the other hand has one that's precisely made for 14'' and would fit my T43 like a glove, well... 5mm loose at most, which is acceptable.

    i just bought the 12 inch shinza sleeve and its just as everyone has claimed. it fits my 700m snugly and it has protection from all angles. my only gripe is no handles, but i throw it into my bag anyways.
