    I -just- bought the dell inspirion 6000d and now i'm looking for a nice sleeve to wrap it in. Any suggestions? What are the some of the better ones out there?

    Also are there any screen protectors to protect the panel from the keyboard (prevent oil pickup, etc) that will fit the dell?

    thank you.

    As for the LCD/keyboard, just get a microfibre clothe and lay it there, serves as a double purpose :)

    The recommendations for 15.4" would be Booq's, Shinza's, Sumdex's and....one more which I don't recall the name....

    do you know where I can find a 15.4" microfibre cloth? (particularly in Toronto?)

    I am looking at the sfbag, booq, sumdex, crumpler, sinza but dont know which is the best quality/protection. they all seemed designed for powerbooks so i want something that will fit the i6000 and still have room for the ac adapter.

    Oohh, those were hard to get.

    I didn't find it on eBay, so I had to buy it from www.ebags.com , they had a 20% off and free shipping at the time, got it for $19 USD, and i used www.shopthestates.com to ship it to me, as shipping using ebags costed like $40, costed me $14 for shipping here, but took a week longer.

    Also, you should check out CompuSmart, they often have a large selection on sleeves.
