    I have an Acer Predator Helios 500 gaming laptop. I put it in my backpack in the main compartment but I'm looking to get a sleeve for a little bit more protection from the other items I have in my bag. Does anyone know of a laptop sleeve that will fit this machine? The dimensions are 16.9" by 11.7" by 1.5".

    The AmazonBasics 17.3" case doesn't seem like it'll work. Its 0.8" thick and I'm not sure I can get it to stretch enough for a 1.5" thick laptop. Case Logic's 17.3" sleeve says its thicker (1.9"), but reviews I'm seeing on Amazon mention it doesn't fit ASUS and other gaming laptops very well. Alienware has a case listed on Amazon but its hard shell and more of a briefcase style carrying case - probably thicker than I want.

    Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

    You can try Waterfield Designs - www.sfbags.com. They can make you a sleevecase to fit. Good quality and service in my experience.

    I'll checkout Waterfield Designs. Actually ended up buying the Amazon Basics 17-inch sleeve and it was super tight but it fit.
