    Any good sites where you can purchase those sponge like sleeves for your laptop?
    If you're unsure of what I'm talking about - this is an example.

    Hey...

    Places like:

    amazon.com (linked)

    Amazon also sell's Booq. And, if you purchase 2+ you can get some savings: (and with free shipping)

    *Save 15% each on Qualifying Items offered by myGearStore when you purchase 3 or more. Enter code 3FORI5OF at checkout. Here's how (restrictions apply)
    Booq 15" @ Amazon (same offer ^)

    ebags.com (linked)

    www.meritline.com (site is under "maintenance") right now..lol!
    But, I have bought some nice "neoprene" sleeves from there, that have safely secured both my lappy & at that time, my Netbook. : )

    buy.com (linked)

    Dell even sell's some nice Neoprene sleeves (varied brands). Check under their "clearance" section, sometimes you can get some good deals & free shipping. : )

    For "In store" you could check Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, Target, even Walmart. :)

    Thanks for your help Cin.
    Do you have any idea which brands make the best quality though?
    I don't really want to buy some cheap one that won't even save my computer if I dropped it.

    Cheers

    You can find similar laptop sleeves on Briggs & Riley’s website. They make sleeves for different laptop sizes. Take a look at their collection and see if you find something that would fit your laptop.

    Sleeves don't really protect a laptop from a fall. They're more or less for scratch resistance and some padding from impacts. A fall from chest-height is more than any sleeve can handle.

    On the other hand, your laptop isn't going to die from a fall- usually the computer is off when you carry it in a sleeve, so there won't be any disk damage. You just have to worry about your chassis falling apart, or your screen.
