    I have been looking at this sleeve for awhile now, its suppose to be crunch proof so I would gardner you could jump and stand on it with your laptop in it and it wouldn't do nothing to the laptop all the while staying as close to the laptops dimensions as it can be so its not to big to put in a messenger bag or the likes( link). Here is the search for it, there is nothing like it at all in its small form portable factor that makes traveling through large crowds/tight spaces with your laptop resistant to falls or someone jaming there first into you by accident breaking your laptop( link).

    The inside has this crazy neon color but there is suppose to be an inner hard plastic shell then a matte type thing over the shell as you can see. It comes in 13/15/17 inch. Am I being misled and its just that hard material they use sometimes for laptop bags? I want something that if I get jumped into my laptop isnt going to snap and crack down the entire length of it. Does it look worth buying, you can get a cheap neon color one for 30 bux.

    Very interesting. The cynic in me makes me very skeptical on how protective this is over other notebook sleeves. I'd be curious to see someone do a test though

    I bought this off a deal and it is pretty sturdy and solid.

    However I highly doubt you could jump or stand on it without hurting your notebook.

    It would still be able to withstand the occasional knocks and etc.
