    I've seen these at the stores, and they look super padded and sturdy. I would definitely be interested in getting one if I could find one that fit my 13.3" Samsung. (the 13-15" one is a bit loose, I think I need the 12-13" one or so)

    Does anyone own one of these? I don't see why there isn't more love for these, they seem to offer better protection than most sleeves.

    I agree. I really like the BUILT laptop sleeves that I have seen, much love for them. They are a little pricey but they are nice. They feel like a wet suit :D.

    Check out this link. Looks like they have 12-13in sleeve you can order from them online directly. I have seen them for sale at Staples as well.

    Thanks for the Dell suggestion, I didn't know they had them. At any place online however, they all cost $30-38 shipped, and at that price I'd rather get a Zeroshock I guess. ..... ....

    And Built, I am talking about just the sleeve (2nd link).

    I got one for Christmas from my wife. Use on my Lenovo T61p... works great! Seems to be very well built (pun intended). Heavy duty.

    I have shopped Newegg for laptop cases, but my only problem with them is the shipping charge. It makes the item very expensive and very rarely have I seen any free shipping offers on bags, like they have on other items. Don't know why.
