    Also looking for one. Sumdex and a Shinza 14 incher seems like the best choice so far.

    just some advice, my girlfriend got the sumdex 14.1" sleeve, and it BARELY fits the e1405. u have to stretch and pull at it to be able to close the zipper (which could result in scratching)

    Yeah I emailed Pinder (who responded quickly within hours) and they told me to get one size larger as their 14'' case would be too snug, you would need room to take the laptop in and out. It's a different brand, but they have almost the same dimensions.

    So would you also suggest the larger size?

    The Shinza 15" sleeve - the smaller of the 2 listed - barely fits the E1405 w/o the extended battery, I have it and the seams got stretched out a bit, but it hasn't ripped. I would say to get the larger of the 2 15" laptop sleeves by shinza, esp. if you have the extended battery.
