    Hi and Good day to all of you. Some of you must be remembering the backpack review i did a few weeks back. ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=368096). Now I'm back with a neoprene sleeve which i got for my macbook pro.

    Why did i get it?

    I needed something to protect my mac against shocks in my backpack and also against scratches. The padded compartment my backpack does not protect the upper part of my notebook.


    Where did i get it?

    I got it from a reputable seller on ebay.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=140296566974

    How much i paid?

    $12.99 + shipping costs.

    Time taken for delivery:

    1.5 weeks

    Review:

    Here is the back side.

    The sleeve also contains rubber material on the bottom side so as to enable the user to well grip the sleeve when it is being carried.

    It is made from a water resistant material.

    Conclusion:

    This is a well padded sleeve which protects the notebook from shocks, water and dust! What more does the user need? The notebook is protected in every possible way. The notebook fits perfectly inside the compartment.

    Users targeted:
    This notebook is targeted towards users who have notebooks with similar dimensions as the 15" macboook pro. It will fit smaller notebooks of course!

    Pros:
    Shock proof
    Water proof
    Dust proof
    Durable
    Rubber material for better grip

    Cons:
    The packaging could be better
