Sleeve and palm rest protector for Inspiron 13 (1318)?

Hey everyone,

A couple days ago, I picked up an Insprion 13 (1318) at Best Buy. A pretty sweet deal at $699 with 9-cell battery included.

The 9-cell, however, makes the laptop about 2" thick at the rear, which leads me to my first question. Anyone out there found a good sleeve for this particular make and model? I'm considering Brenthaven's Eclipse 1 SL, as I'm a fan of Brenthaven's stuff, but I'm just concerned about the fit. I want something that's snug, but not too tight.

Second question: Anyone know of a product similar to Marware's that will fit with the Inspiron 1318? Or has anyone made their own palm rest cover?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Cheers,
Drew75

 

bump...i kind of need to know this too

 

i went ghetto and just used a new wash cloth. if you know someone with sewing machine skills or do it yourself, you could cut out & resew the middle for the trackpad.

 

anyone know the answer to the first question?

 

yeah, my solution isn't pretty but it works.

I also got this mat http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?sk=MC71419&productID=25378 and used a scissor & exacto knife to make a palm rest myself. its pretty big so if you mess up, you can try again.

beats paying for something, you can easily do it yourself

 

thanks fins

 

you're welcome. i forgot to give this link for various colors. i actually used the silver one for my MBP.
