    Hello
    What bag/sleeve are you using for Dell 1555 15.6" Laptop?
    I would like a case (preferably available in the UK) that is a good fit while discreet (not too obviously a laptop bag...)
    I would be most grateful for any comments.
    Regards
    HH

    I have the Dell 1555 with 9 cell battery. I found that none of the imported sleeve will accommodate the 2.4" thick back end. However, WaterField Design www.sfbags.com makes a very nice series of sleeves to fit almost any laptop. The 30-20 fits the Dell with 9 cell. The sleeve is about $49 dollars, not cheap, but definitely not a cheap bag. Really nice. Because of its 9 cell battery, the laptop seems to fit best with the narrow nose end at the bottom of the bag. Although this seemed counter-intuitive at first, I found that it allowed me to carry the bag with the battery end nicely resting just below my belt, with my hand resting naturally on the accessory bag they sell, called a Piggyback. Piggyback is well worth the extra $22. Flat enough to be comfortable, but roomy enough to hold the power supply, some cords, and a Logitech trackball! (Separated my shoulder in a bike accident; can’t comfortably use a mouse yet).
