    I got the HP dv6t-7000, a 15.6" laptop, and since I travel a lot, I'd prefer a checkpoint friendly case. I'd also like to not break the bank.

    What I want: Storage for the laptop (duh), storage for a mouse, cables, power brick. If I had a couple other pockets, that'd be nice too. In essence, I want more than a sleeve, but much less than a full on briefcase.

    I want this to be as cheap as possible while still being from a reputable manufacturer and somewhat high quality. Thanks!

    Probably $30. 40 absolute MAX!

    The cheaper the better of course.

    I kind of hope for a sleeve type case that is just a tad thicker (for the mouse and the AC adapter). If it had a handle on it, that would be an added bonus.

    Have you considered going to Wal-Mart or Best Buy or a similar store and taking a look at what they have to offer?
