    My m15x should be shipping any day now and I was wondering what neoprene sleeve do you use to protect the casing from scratches during transportation? For my Macbook I have a 13 inch Incase Neoprene sleeve which I love. I was wondering if perhaps anyone uses the 15 inch version for the m15x? If you use something else please share so I can purchase it. :) Thanks!

    They include a cloth sleeve. Not the best for shock absorption or for carrying for anything more than a short walk, but if all you want is protection from scratches, it'll do the job.

    I noticed that cloth that comes with it but was thinking I would need something a little more durable since I'll be carrying it with me so much.

    You'd probably be best off with a proper laptop bag then. Sorry though, I'm currently looking for one myself. Good luck finding one, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread myself.

    I use the stock cloth sleeve and a targus backpack to transport my M15X. Haven't gotten a single scratch on it and I've had it well over a year now (during school this last year I was transporting it almost every single day for several kilometers on a bicycle). If you use a sleeve along with a good bag, the cloth one is fine. I'm sorry though that I don't have any good advice for you on a good neoprene sleeve.
