dv1000 sleeve help pls

Hi,
I am decided to buy the Sumdex for my new dv1000 laptop that will hopefully arrive in two weeks, but I wanted to ask which one shall I get. I think it will not fit into the 14.1" as the laptop dimensions are 13.15" (L) x 9.24"(W) x 1.18"(H) front & 1.52" (H) rear
but the sleeve interior only 12.75" x 10.25" x 2"
The 15.4" has 13.75” x 11.25” x 2”, won't it be too loose?
Any other good cheap sleeves with handles?
Thanks

Mima

 

I don't believe that the dv1000 will fit in the 14" sumdex sleeve. According to the specs it just slightly too big. I just ordered the 15.4" one that I plan on using with my dv1000. It might be a bit too loose, but I plan on getting the 12-cell battery which will extend out of the back a bit. I'm also going to use my sleeve with a notebook bag that I bought, so an exact fit isn't that important to me, just the protection. My sleeve will get here before my dv1000 because I'm going to customize it from shopping.hp.com, but I'll post a review of it asap.

 

Just so that you won't be reinventing the wheel this topic has been excrutiatingly discussed to the nth degree on this site:
