    Look for something slim but with some ability to protect as well.

    I just got a couple Sleevecases from Waterfield, and I became an instant fanboy. They're really built with an excellent quality, both in fit and finish and quality of materials. The nylon looks and feels very nice, it's not at all cheap; and the foam padding is nice and firm.

    Because they have so many sizes, they're practically custom fit. A little pricey, but well worth it.

    Neoprene sleeves are pretty useless if u ask me. It won't absorb any impact and will only prevent some scratches. If you want to protect your laptop get an Elecom Zeroshock III, they're cheaper than most sleeves, only a bit thicker and they're the only sleeves i found that actually do what they should.

    The be.ez LA Robe looks nice, I'm considering buying one for my dm3z.
    I don't know if they have 14.1" versions though. It seems like there's only 13" and 15" at the moment on amazon. You should probably check the dimensions.

    I second that, well priced memory foam cases. Excellent protection.
