    The vostro is a really bulky laptop, plus the fact that I have a 9 cell battery sticking out of it, doesn't really help out all that much. I've tried to buy a 17" notebook sleeve but it doesn't fit. Do you know of any notebook sleeve that will fit this giant 15" laptop?

    What are the dimensions with the battery?

    Dimensions
    Width: 14.12" (35.8cm)
    Height: 1.65" (4.5cm)
    Depth: 10.59" (26.9cm)

    The 9cell probably adds another 1.5cm to the back.

    The Shinza 17" Zeroshock III notebook sleeve might work for you. I own a 14" sleeve and absolutely love it. The only problem you might have with this sleeve is that it may be too tight height wise.

    Here's some pictures of mine I posted in a different thread.

    Another option you may have is Tom Binh's Brain Cell. I haven't used one of these before but they look pretty cool. Check their fit list to see which one will best suit you.

    I hope this helps.
