    I'm looking for a laptop sleeve for the 15.4 inch laptop I'll be getting. I've seen the ones that incase makes for the macs (they're great... too bad they only make them for macs). Are there any good ones you guys would recommend?

    I just ordered a zeroshock III for the t61 I'm going to get. It looks like it has good cushioning and is fairly waterproof, I'll let you know what its like when i get it

    I found recently a lot of interesting gadgets for notebooks including reasonable sleeves for very good price at a chinese site: www.dealextreme.com.
    In my experince, this seller is very reliable.

    For one of the higher end sleeves look to WaterField.

    http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases.htm

    The nice thing about their sleeves is that they can become minimalistic laptop carry bags for those days when you don't want to lug your backpack/messenger around. You do pay for it, but the quality is near unmatched for the price.

    You will want to look into getting the flap and shoulder strap if you want to use it as a minimalist design, and possibly the piggyback.

    ZeroShock tends to have great sleeves, using memory foam as padding. Better protection from drops. Although standard neoprene sleeves will do the job just fine.
