    Anyone know of a decent rugged laptop case for an Acer with a 15.4" screen?
    I don't want my father to bust up his Xmas present at a construction site, so I am looking for something that is fairly tough, with dust protection.

    I really like the case bags by SwissGear (Wenger).
    They are extremely tough and full of cool pockets.

    It may be more geared toward the student but they're nice nonetheless.

    I picked mine up at CompUsa during their Black Friday sale for $29.99.
    I think they are usually two to three times that much normally.

    Construction site??
    Dirt Haulers? Backhoes? Front loaders?

    Sounds like he needs a sealed aluminum briefcase.
