    Someone who has a sumdex, or Brian

    Will a sumdex sleeve stretch a bit to accomodate a notebook that is just a fraction of an inch (no more than 0.2") larger than the specified dimensions in one direction?

    Thanx

    It might bulge a little bit, but it won't stretch per se.

    You think it will fit my N6? I was just about to order it since I failed to find any other sleeve that fits my N6 and I noticed a little difference:

    Sumdex Interior: 15.75" x 12.25" x 2"
    N6010: 15.9"(w) x 11.6"(d) x 1.70/2.08"(h)

    Or do you have any other sleeve in mind that might fit my little monster? [ :p]

    I think it's close enough to chance it.

    Just received my Sumdex Impact Guard for my T42. It fits very nicely, but I must say I expected thicker padding.

    The padding isn't the regular foam I expected, but it's this whatever they call astronaut foam or something [ :D]


    It looks nice and feels quality but I'll have to see if the padding is any good

    i remember reading somewhere that the booqs have a pretty rigid outer shell so that stretching will not happen. [?]
