    What are my options for a sleeve that is tougher than some thin neoprene p.o.s. ? I am going to use the sleeve and then put it in my backpack with books so it needs to be pretty durable. Black would be the top color choice.

    Thanks . [​IMG]

    I like the idea of a hard case of some sort. Anyone know how this compares to the Acme Made sleeve discussed in another post here?

    i don't know that since i haven't seen them in real life yet but a read some really good opinions about the Zeroshock. for protection, i'd rather trust in Zeroshock, but i think the SXPS 16 would only fit in a 17" one so it's a bit oversized for it but as i heard it mustn't be a big problem.. i'm pretty sure i'll go for it soon.
