A8jm/W3J Sleeve (that fits!)

Ever since I got my A8jm I have been desperately hunting for a sleeve that would fit perfectly. 14.1in widescreen sleeve just wont fit the A8jm. Sure a 15.4in sleeve will fit the A8jm but not perfectly. I was able to narrow the madness down to 2 sleeves.

Tucano 9Dots Large Sleeve

Here is what matters:
Targus: 13.5" x 0.75" x 11"
Tucano: 13.39" x 1.57" x 11.02"
A8jm: 13.18" x 1.46" x 9.64"

The Targus seems to be a bit too thin (0.75") even though its made of neoprene (stretchable) I didnt want to risk it not fitting. So I decided to get the Tucano. YES! Finally a perfect fitting sleeve! If you are planning to get it remember to get the LARGE one.

For the W3J owners out there, I am sure that anything that fits a A8jm will fit the W3J. Just not vice versa in many cases.

 

I picked up the Targus 15" Slipskin Notebook Case from Best Buy a while ago and it fits my Asus W3J PERFECTLY! I can't ask for anything better. Its just so perfect.

 

Any chance that it comes with a shoulder strap? My ideal sleeve would have handles and a shoulder strap for those times when I'm moving the computer around but don't feel like putting it in a bigger bag.

I picked up this for my W3j:

It's made by REI and it's pretty good. The inside is made of similar material to that of the Sumdex and Shinza. It is kinda expensive @ 30$, but i thought it was cool that you can choose to have it be vertical or horizontal. It also has handles on both side depending how you want to carry it (vertical or horizontal) as well as shoulder buckles in case you want to ling it around on your shoulder. Also, i appreciate the pockets it has on the outside to hold necessary things. It also fits well into my Targus Chicago Citygear backpack.
