    Alright, to get right to the point - I'm looking for a laptop sleeve that will fit at least somewhat snug, for a 14.1 inch widescreen laptop, specifically a Toshiba M100.

    A few of cases I have found that COULD work, are the Sumdex impact sleeve, booq vyper L, the casepc, or shinza zeroshock 15in notebook sleeve
    http://sumdex.com/core/PUN-854.asp
    http://www.case-pc.com/products.html
    http://www.booqbags.com/Detail.bok?no=98
    http://shinza.com/product_info.php?products_id=63

    The dimensions of my laptop are 13.5 x 9.53 x 1.50.

    The sumdex would be the one for 14.1'' screens, however its interior dimensions are 12.75" x 10.25" x 2" - so the question is, how much give, if any would it have to account for the extra .75'' in length?

    The other sleeves listed have interior dimensions that would be slightly larger than what would be needed.

    The one that I really like is the shinza, however, I really wish they had one for a 14.1'' laptop, as their current one for 14'' has interior dimensions of
    13.0'' x 10.8'' x 1.8'' and I have read where they have NO give - so I have listed their sleeve for 15'' screens.

    I hope maybe someone can help me, as there does not seem to be many sleeves out there with dimensions for a 14.1'' widescreen - maybe they are just too new. Also, this would be a sleeve just to protect the laptop while it is in my bookbag while at school. Any comments from people who have the sleeves mentioned would be great also.

    Thanks in advance

    That apple one is alright. Maybe if it came in black instead of blue. But, is it wide enough for a 14.1'' widescreen notebook? It says it is for a 14'' iBook, and most of the sleeves that are for apple notebook's are usually made to fit it just right, thus leaving no room for the extra width of a 14.1'' screen.

    I wish they would have posted the dimensions of that case on the website...

    Any other suggestions out there?
