    Hi folks.

    I just received my NP6880 a couple of days ago and, so far, everything looks great. Im extremely happy with my purchase.

    I am now in the market for a good sleeve and have my sights set on one from Waterfield Designs (sfbags.com) . I already own a Waterfield sleevecase for my other laptop and its quality is top notch not to mention the great service this company provides. For those not familiar with the company, the sleeves are custom made for each laptop model so that it fits perfectly. Unfortunately they dont have the NP6880 listed in their (albiet impressively extensive) list.

    They offered to send me a few different sizes to try with a return label for the ones I decide not to keep, but unfortunately Im out of the US for a few months so the whole return process is not gonna work too well.

    I was wondering if anyone purchased/was looking into purchasing a sleeve from Waterfield Designs for their NP8660 and knew what a good size would be.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks Phoduma. After checking the dimensions, I am worried, though, that the zero-shock sleeve is gonna be a little too small for the NP6880. Thats why Im trying to go in the direction of custom fit rather than the "one size fits most" option.

    Why dont you use the Alienware m15x as a guide for the size you are looking for? They are quite similar size...

    Really? I was under the impression that the M15x was thinner and depth is the main issue at thsi point. Ill look into it though, thanks.
