    Geez it looks like everyone ignores the non-apple users (or at least people with thicker laptops) when it comes to hard sleeves.

    Theres 2 I know of:

    http://www.booqbags.com/All-Products/Vyper

    and

    http://www.axio-usa.com/hardsleeves.html

    And I'd get them but theyre for macs. Anyone know where I can find hard sleeves for laptops at least 1.5inches thick? I am in need of a sleeve and hardsleeve looks like a solution. Preferrably they have soft interiors lke the ones in the above

    There's probably not as big a call for them. There's a good reason why sleeves and other protection-related accessories are popular for Apples - they need it. Furthermore hard sleeves add further bulk to a thick machine.

    Not a sleeve as such, but there's the Matias Laptop Armor.

    those hard cases are expensive then again protecting something expensive with something as expensive is worth getting to protect something so beautiful....... :)

    the samsonite one is OK. 40 dollars is not bad considering the brand and also the fact its a hardcase
