    Anyone got a picture of a sleeve that fits the Dell Studio XPS 16 w/ 9 cell well? Was looking at the Case Logic 17" Sleeve since the Dell is so wide.

    http://www.caselogic.com/17_laptop_sleeve/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=120438

    According to Dell, laptop w/ 6 cell is:

    Width: 15.15" (384.9mm)
    Height: 0.95" (24.1mm) front / 1.34" (33.95mm) back
    Depth: 10.02" (254.6mm)

    But the 9 cell looks to add a good bit to the back... if anyone has this and a sleeve, let me know which one you use (even if you don't have a pic).

    Hey, I looked for a while for these, but eventually decided to not order one online due to the price of most of them. I checked around, and with most 15 inch ones, there was barely enough space to close the case, but not with the 9 cell battery which I also have, though, with the 17 inch cases, there is about a 1 inch gap due to the fact that the SXPS 16 is just so much smaller than the case. But, I was adamant that I didn't have that gap, since I didn't want to deal with having to have a case, that had part of it folded over just to carry around the computer. In any case, I don't have any information about the case you are looking at, but the one that I got is here:

    http://www.amazon.com/Neoprene-Laptop-Sleeve-Wireless-Mouse/dp/B002RZY2GO

    It is pretty good quality, and it has a bit of slack in the area of depth, since its about .5 inch thicker than the computer, but it holds the battery well as well as a notebook or folder securely. You could even but the power cord in it as well if you wanted to, but it would definitely stretch out the case. In any case, thats the one I went with, its not a bad price, and you might be able to pick it up in a store near you, I found mine in Target. It also comes with a mouse which isn't bad cause although I use the touchpad, sometimes you just need a mouse. Anyways, just a suggestion, at the very least, those are the specifications of the case that another would need to have in order to fit the sxps. :D Hope this helps.

    I found the Case Logic for $19 and it has a space for the power supply (according to the description), that's why I was interested in that particular model.

    For the GE Sleeve you have, it says the dimensions are:

    Measurements 15.75 x 10.25 x 2

    Is this the size it fits? Do you mind measuring the outer dimensions for me?
