    I'm looking for a sleeve for my m14x that will be cushiony enough to protect my computer, but slim enough that I can still carry it in a large purse or in my normal school backpack. I already have the Orion backpack, but I'm looking for something more casual. I'm asking here because I think the shape of the m14x makes it tricky to find a snug case and I don't want to order something only to find out it doesn't fit. Any recommendations would be appreciated :D

    I use the Alienware m14x neoprene sleeve and have had no problems. It is a tight fit but keeps the laptop from sliding around say if you bought a standard 15" sleeve. The case has 2 strong handles making it easy to move around. My laptop and case fit nicely in my college backpack when i need it :)

    Good to know, thank you... I was worried since I heard that it was so small that the zippers could scratch the corners. I have an old neoprene sleeve from my last computer and it was also very tight on the m14x so I was worried it might just be the same exact thing. Thanks for the advice!

    There is a piece of cloth (sewed in on the upper side of the sleeve) inside the sleeve to cover the notebook on top, making sure the zipper is not touching your m14x,
    preventing scratches etc..

    I bought the neoprene sleeve from Dell that is for the M14X and I really like it. It fits perfectly and isn't bulky.
