    I have a 15.4in widescreen notebook and want a sleeve that I can keep my notebook in while using it. I'd prefer it to have a pouch for the power adapter. I want to carry this around campus with me so it needs to be somewhat portable. Thanks in adavnce.

    I do not have any specific brand that I can suggest but Google for Notebook Jacket.

    Please also consider the material the jacket will be made of as long fuzzy material will impede air flow and cooling of your notebook.

    take a look at the Belkin SleeveTop case...that is a COOL case. Provantage has them for around $27 + shipping...pretty decent price.

    Nice thing about the SleeveTop case is they have two sort of plastic/silicon stips along the bottom of the case that hold the system up allowing air flow...I know some OfficeDepot & Staples carry them in-store.

    I have played around with them and would love one but my 17" system is too big to fit...sniffsniff... :(

    The Tom Bihn Brain Cell is a good option, it's very rigid and protective, and doubles as a carrying case with pouches at the sides. Though it'll set you back a good amount.

    yep shinza III looks and sounds good.

    probably no room for adaptor though.
