    Hi, I just wonder if anyone has bought a new sleeve and LCD protector film for your A8Js(A8Jm) or plan to it?

    I dont think the A8Js will fit most sleeves for 14.1 laptop Since compared with a IBM T42 (standard 4:3 14.1 LCD), A8Js is much wider and thicker. However, If I use a sleeve for 15.4, there may be some "redundant" space which can make laptop "unstable" in the sleeve.....

    Also, same problem for the LCD protector, I dont know what demesion of protector I need to buy...

    So, can you guys kindly recommend some products for the A8Js? or where I can get them (location/website). I'm in Houston, USA

    I just ordered my sleevecase at waterfield designs (sfbags.com). They have sizes specific for this model. I own one for ever laptop I have had for almost 4 years.

    thanks, rybocf. What kind of sleevecare did you order from that website....It seems a lot building option for A8 series.......also, I have to say the price is a bit high compared with sleeves from other websites. I'm not familiar with this brand, is it really good?

    I just grabbed a kensington compact duo or something.. http://www.compusa.com/products/pro...ngton+compact+duo&Ntk=All&product_code=337784
    fits my a8jm perfectly.. like 1-2cm on the lenghtwise edge of space but other than that perfect, has enough room in the front pocket for my power supply and some other nicknacks ( headphones, data cable for phone ) there is enough room inside the sleeve for a magazine or some such as well..

    overall i like it :) and for 29.99! :)

    cooking. I just got the regular sleevecase, no extra options (horizontal) for $40, plus $6 shipping. I can tell you with no hesitation, that although a little more money, they knock the crap out of the competition in terms of quality, durability, and most of all, usability. I bet they have a money-back guarantee too.
