    I am looking for a waterproof latptop sleeve or soft case (not hard shell variety) for a 15 inch laptop. Problem is all of the options I have seen, have no space for the charger or a few accessories. Does anyone know if there is anything on the market.

    Leather and vinyl cases are the ones that usually have spots for the chargers and extra accessories. You could always purchase two waterproof sleeves one for the laptop and one for the accessories. I have no found anything like you are wanting, most soft cases or sleeves only fit the laptop itself or if the laptop is using a thin portable power adapter it can slide in with the laptop on it's lid.

    Nothing like what you want exists. You're better off just buying an Everki Titan backpack, using the waterproof cover for it, and then buying something like a Slappa Matrix Sleeve (make sure you get the one that comes with the carrying strap. It's VERY hard to find a link to one that comes WITH the strap!)

    I believe this one comes with the strap from this link: https://www.amazon.com/Slappa-Accessories-SL-SV-112-Mixer/dp/B003SP2FFC/ but its out of stock and you are best off calling Amazon to verify this You can also try contacting Slappa directly and asking where you can buy a version of their sleeve with the carrying strap.

    The slappa sleeve fits easily into the Everki laptop compartment.

    Now I know this is probably out of your budget to buy both a high end laptop backpack then buy a sleeve also, but you did say waterproof.... :/

    Check this out. Plenty of room and it floats.

    Here is something else that may work, but its a slim backpack:
