    I've been looking absolutely everywhere for a sleeve that fits this laptop. It's dimensions are bigger than anything that I've encountered so far, less using a laptop bag. I'd really like to get a neoprene sleeve for it. Please help!

    Yeah, they're all messenger bags or shoulder bags or briefcases. I'm looking for something that is smaller, and fitting so that it is easier to carry. (Though the AR170 was a bad choice for mobility).

    The Dimensions are: 16.5" X 12" X 1.8"

    The laptop sleeve section doesnt have the AR series model, and the dimensions for the AR170 are too big for any sleeve on ebags.

    k so the internal dimensions for this sleeve are 15.75 X 12.25 X 2 so i'm thinking that with the extra width and the fact that the sleeve isn't a hard box should allow for it to go in. it's worth a shot since it'd only be .25 extra on either side.

    shoreline neoprene jacket this also looks to be big enough.

    victorinox cross suspension sleeve this also seems to be able to fit it.

    if you're willing to let it stretch a bit my advice would be to go with the sumdex mostly because it has the best price and because i own one and know that it is very well made and protects well :D

    good luck

    The Incase sleeves which are being marketed for Apples are really good. I bought one for my PC laptop.
