    I need a sleeve for my HP 8730w as I need to transport it around quite a bit these few weeks for demo and work on an critical project.

    I have been using the incase sleeves for my smaller notebooks and I noticed they have a 17" model for the Macbook Pro. I'm wondering if these will fit my 8730w, which is around 0.4" thicker and 0.5" wider than the Macbook Pro. I really like the incase sleeves though, so would prefer something similar if they don't fit.

    Any thoughts?

    Not sure about that case, but neoprene in general is pretty stretchy. I wouldn't be too surprised if it fits.

    I saw that. It doesn't look attractive and it's pretty heavy. As I carry it in a bag, all I need is a nice sleeve that protects it from scratches (the Elitebook is scratch-resistant, but the HP logo on the lid as well as the bottom chassis aren't!). It has to look awesome. :D
