    Hey guys. So, I wake up this morning, and my wife surprised me with a sleeve for my Alienware M11x.

    I love the way I look in dark pinstripe suits. My favorite dark pinstripe suit is from Tommy Hilfiger, and has a blue-and-white stripe inside lining. So, my wife got some material that matched that pattern, and made this for me (she bought bolt cloth. She didn't cut up my favorite suit. I'd be much less happy if that happened :eek: ). It's pretty friggin awesome.

    1201FTW - sorry, the original upload used full-res pics. I immediately noticed the problem, and re-uploaded with resized pics. You must have read the post before I re-uploaded the new pics.

    And yes, Kopicha, my wife made it. I didn't even expect her to. I told her the other day in passing "You know, I'm thinking of getting a laptop sleeve for my new laptop. That felt cloth thing that comes with it isn't going to protect it from much." And then I wake up today, with her surprising me with a new laptop sleeve!

    I'm gonna have to give her one hell of a foot massage tonight for this.

    See we women are good for more than just cooking and cleaning, just kidding. I think it's awesome that she did that for you and I like it. Much more interesting than my black and red foam sleeve.

    That's awesome, kent1146. Should minimize abrasion on the soft touch finish if that's what you have.
