    I am trying to figure out the best sleeve solution for my Acer Ferrari. So far, Booq Vipers are the most attractive. I wonder if Viper M can stretch a bit to accomodate my lappy or I should go with Viper L.

    Ferrari: 13.0" (330.0mm) W x 10.7" (272.0mm) D x 1.2" (31.0mm)
    Booq Viper M:
    Exterior Dimensions: 14.75x10.75x1.7
    Laptop Compartment: 13.75x9.5x1.2"
    Booq Viper L:
    Exterior Dimensions: 15.2x11.9x2.1"
    Laptop Compartment: 14.2x10.9x1.6"

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    I was looking at the Vyper L sleeve for the ferrari 4005.. Are the sizes quoted by the OP for the 3400? I think the 4005 is wider.. Just wondering if anyone has tried a vyper L with the 4005.. The size seems a little tight (ferrari is 2mm wider, apparently) but it might fit ok..

    I'd stay away from the Vyper. I got one for my brother's Dell 9300. It's really flimsy and feels cheap. I was surprised that Booq would sell such a lousy sleeve. I returned the Vyper and exchanged it for a 17" PowerSleeve. The PowerSleeve is far better, providing good protection at a very light weight.
