Laptop sleeve/case for m1530 with 9cell

Hey everyone!
I know there are several threads around about accessories and such but, and only if it's okay by the mods, i'd like to ask the question separately in order to maximize the responses.
I am looking for something small and light to protect my m1530 during transport. I'm very concerned about humidity and rain (I live in Boston).
If you have any suggestions, recommendations, and especially links to good deals, please post!
Thanks!
Dav

 

i have the red belkin sling bag, its small and slim, it will hold your xps m1530 even with the 9cell battery http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Laptop...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1222901285&sr=8-1

its really cool, and confortable

 

that's great man!
im actually looking for something a bit smaller, with no bag aspect to it as i already own a carrying bag.
but that's exactly the kind of feedback im looking for!
Thanks a lot!

 

I currently own this bag btw:

I asked a similar question in a follow up post to my own thread a few days ago and asked if anybody knew if the Sumdex sleeve fits an M1530 with 9 cell. I have one for my little Dell 700m and like it for lightweight transport. The price is OK (was cheaper a day ago). Anybody have one that can comment on fit? http://www.ebags.com/sumdex/digipod_153_compact_computer_sleeve_15_4/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=100851

 

i suggest any one of these bags they are all slightly different style bags. i have Lowepro backpack case and the quality is excellent. ive had several different notebook bags, backpacks, and shoulder bags. This one iss the best. its luggage quality and had alot of good padding. Check out the following links.

Any luck finding a sleeve?

 

I am looking at the Zeroshock III, buying it on Ebay but i don't know if it'll fit the 9cell battery...

 

I PMed you back Riton

 

Anybody else know what sleeves will fit a M1530 with the 9cell on it?

 

I have the Belkin 15.4" Neoprene Sleeve and it fits my 1520 w/9 cell just fine and from what I know, the 1530 is smaller than the 1520.

Riton, I agree with Crash...Belkin makes great sleeves!

Here are a few I found for the 15.4 lappy, from Dell's site...However, I'm believe you may be able to find them cheaper at sites such as buy.com, Amazon.com, etc.

Belkin (exclusive to Dell):

Hope, that helps!

Cin are you 100% positive each one of those will fit the 9cell?
The Dell reps are really stupid sometimes... one of them told me none they sold fit the 9cell battery... im 100% serious

 

I was thinking they would & listed them for you to check out, as they stated they fit a 15.4' (and some had enough room).

I would check with another Dell rep, also..otherwise I can continue to look for you later on today!

Check out the link above that Crash posted for you, for the Belkin ~ also!

Otherwise if you want a *custom* sleeve made, check out Waterfield:

that's where i got the actual dimensions of the m1530 with the 9cell battery.
a bit out of my price range though
I'm gonna try and get a rep to give me some correct info this time, but if you could keep helping me out by looking it would really be great!
It took me 2.5 years to upgrade to this great piece of machinery, I don't wanna slack by getting a non-fitting or just bad sleeve.

 

No, I don't mind helping you..it will have to be this evening, though! Plus, it gives me a chance to peruse more messenger bags, and such!

Good luck with the call to Dell

Cin

 

thanks ill let you know how it goes!

 

basically they only recommend the belkin 15.4 sleeve they have on the dell website... im gonna have to decide soon... anybody else have a sleeve they wanna share?

 

Well...The Belkin would prob's work! You know you can get Belkins elsewhere, then just at Dell

www.amazon.com

www.buy.com

oh of course, i'm just waiting for a special deal to come up

 

I'm sure there will be one! Sometimes the prices will fluctuate, very well

Cin!

 

Another option would be WaterField. Just look on their site for your size. If you don't see it there, they will make a custom sleeve just for you.

 

haha those are maaaad expensive though
