    Looking for a bag/sleeve type carrying device to just hold my notebook. I find putting it in another bag risks leaving keyboard impressions on the screen. Any idea to just hold the notebook?

    Thanks.

    Give us a little more information on what you're looking to spend, what features you're looking for if any.

    I would say if you're looking for a bag just to hold your laptop, you probably want to get one with decent protection. I'd look into getting a Brain Cell

    Well price can pretty pretty high up to $200. Just looking for something to carry the laptop around in. Don't need another bag for gear per se, just want to keep the laptop in a separate bag that doesn't add a huge load.

    Even more info can help - laptop size, even specific brand/name or exact dimensions would be nice.

    If you're worried about keyboard screen impressions, you can add additional protection with a microfiber screen protector (like those found at ShaggyMac).

    Otherwise a Brain Cell from TomBihn like Jakamo5 mentioned are well reviewed. You could also check out Spire, Booq or Waterfield (plenty of others out there as well).

    The Samsonite L45 is an option.
