Laptop Sleeves - Inspiron 1520

Greetings,

I just ordered an Inspiron 1520 - 15.4"...with dimensions (If my memory serves me correctly) WDH - 14.25 x 10.45 x 1.5-1.7.

I have not been able to find a nice sleeve (Used to protect the laptop while I carry it around in my school backpack). I'm hoping for a black or blue sleeve (I ordered the midnight blue colored laptop). Do sleeves usually come with any accessory storage (adapter + mouse)?

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

I ordered a Caselogic Shuttle Sleeve for my 1520 - they have a few different kinds - all should fit the laptop's dimmensions. Check out http://www.caselogic.com/search/index.cfm?Ne=100&N=4011+20025998

Newegg has them for about $15.00 in a bunch of different colors.

Now if only someone can recommend a good backpack or tell me if the i1520 fits the North Face Surge comfortably, that would be awesome!

 

I purchased the case logic shuttle sleeve for my T61 15.4" with 14" x 11" (with extended 9-cell battery) x 1 3/8" and the sleeve just fits perfectly. There's maybe 1/2" of extra space on the top near the zipper when i have the 9-cell installed. The width of the sleeve is just perfect, meaning there's slight resistance when placing the notebook into the sleeve.

I have the North Face Surge backup also. My notebook will just fit in the notebook compartment without the 9-cell battery (10" depth) and without the sleeve on. A 10.4" depth notebook would be pushing it. At one time i had purchased a DV6000T and it barely fit into the notebook compartment.

I cant use the notebook compartment because of the 9-cell battery, but I have no problem fitting the notebook with the sleeve into the main compartment of the backpack.

 

Thanks Hypertrophy - the i1520 with 9 cell has been measured to be 11.4" Wide (Depth) - I guess this is cutting it too close for the Surge backpack. I really want a sepearate laptop compartment so I don't want to spend $100's on a backpack and then not use the compartment. I wonder if any other The North Face designs would accomodate the laptop (With sleeve, even better). North Face has such nice backpacks - I really dont want to get a Targus or something cause they look so blah.

 

No problem. I feel the same way, and that's why i ended up purchasing the Surge backup [even before purchasing a notebook]. After receiving it though, i noticed the notebook compartment wasnt "all that." There's only one zipper, unlike the other two main compartments on the backpack that have dual zippers. Also, it does not have a flap to cover the notebook compartment zipper, and i dont know if the zipper is completely waterproof. The top of the notebook compartment, where the zipper is, is a lot narrower then the rest of the backpack, making it a tight fit for a 15.4" notebook.

I believe the surge has the largest divided notebook compartment out of The North Face lineup. The other models have a "notebook pocket" that's part of the main comparment.

 

Thanks a lot VCash; I am going to purchase the Blue Laptop Shuttle bag (Looks great!).

And if you do ever find a decent North Face Backpack, please let me know! I wish to purchase one for school.

Thanks.

I checked the list but 1501 fits... unless 1520 is slightly fatter?

 

Check that out, I'm going to be ordering that within the next few weeks.

And oh ya, they custom make it to your specifications!

Cool! Those looks great... but I was wondering, would this fit?

http://shinza.com/product_info.php?cPath=5_10_15&products_id=72

The interior dimensions are(W x D x H): 14.7 x 1.6 x 10.8 inches
While, the Inspiron 1520 is(W x D x H): 14.1 x 1.7 x 10.6 inches

Would the the 0.1 inch really matter? >.<

But http://cgi.ebay.com/ZEROSHOCK-III-1...ryZ31521QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
claims it can fit (then again, Ebayers claim anything to make a sale). Anyone with a Zeroshock can help?

 

I just did the mambo combo from sfbags for my 2090, the sleeve in the bag is tailered to fit my notebook. I was really impressed with the designs plus they use neoprene on the sleeves not just foam pads covered with parachute nylon like some I have seen...idk guess it's more a style issue too

 

What about the Dell sleeves?

 

I bought an Init sleeve from Best Buy for $20. Decent protection and has handles. I just picked up an Oakley laptop sling and let me tell you... it is awesome! Well though out and stylish, too!

 

I just got my Zeroshock III 15.4" Widescreen sleeve. And it fits perfectly. Well, it looks like it's going to implode a little, which leaves no room in the pocket area. But I'm really satisfied. I'm going to test it by dropping it from 3 stories!

edit: I'm using a 6cell batt.

 

best buy sells a sleeve made by init. it fits my 1520 perfectly and was only $20!
