    Has anyone here ever used a Brenthaven case? I saw an Edge I in CompUSA today and thought it would be perfect for my TX850. It seemed like the most protective case I've ever come across. I almost bought it but thought I'd come here for opinions first, if anyone has one.

    I think that the Edge I is their mid range sleeve type carrier. I say mid range because they have a premium line that has some form of heavier duty protection. They have made totes for a while and are firmly in the IPod tote market as well. I looked at one of their sleeves, but it looked too heavy duty for my SZ. Great if that is what you were going to use as your sole tote, but I needed a thinner lighter one at the time to put my laptop in for transportation insided of my case.

    I just purchased the Edge 1 for my SZ, and while it takes a little squeezing to get in there, I couldn't pass it up (as compusa had 25% off on all laptop cases, and a poor selection for 13.3" screens). What I really want is something like case logic's sleeve for the 15 inchers that fits an SZ.

    Drat! When did CompUSA have this sale? When I was there today, I didn't see any sale notices so I'm assuming I missed it last week or something?

    It was this past weekend, and I had to point it out to the checker, otherwise I'd have paid full price.
