    Btw it's the one with "dome protection", this really cool foam padding on the inside cover that flexes under stress to reduce pressure against your laptop. Seems to really do the job.

    This one will work until Slappa has more of the Hardbody cases in 17"!

    what type of material is on the inside?? is it the cheap nylon stuff or is it a non scratch microfiber or suede like slappa uses.. i will not use any bags with nylon inside any more it rubs and scratches imo after a while of use.

    It's like a nylon mesh type stuff..grey, lightly textured, sorta plastic feeling.

    It's not high dollar like suede or anything like that.

    I too am waiting on my slappa hardbody case, but this one will do just dandy in the meantime.
