    Just a quick question about these cases (braincell and waterfield sleeve) for those who own/have seen both cases. According to the waterfield people/review, the case seems to add about an inch to every dimension of the laptop. According to measurements this basically means it's the same size as the braincell. My question is whether it actually is (approximately) the same size?

    Yeah this is baffling- because according to the bihn website, the exterior measurements of the brain cell are in fact much less than an inch over its corresponding compartment dimensions (+.35", +.75", +.60"). And that thing looks FAT (look at that green pic I linked in the booq vs bihn thread here).

    So if you get a waterfield, are you maxing it out with piggy back, flap, and strap, or just going basic sleeve? The add-ons cost as much as the sleeve itself.

    I'm just planning on (at most) getting the flap

    I'm actually kind of leaning towards the shinza zeroshock just because of the fact that it seems to be a tad bit more portable

    but until I actually buy one both the binh and the waterfield are in the back of my mind
