    I bought a 17 inch one for my FW but it is still too big, I am hoping that dell begins churning out some 16.4 sleeves for their new 16.4 notebook.

    Sony makes a nice custom bag (neoprene case) for the FW. Works well, but since soft it may not offer all the protection you looking for. Works great to cover the laptop when place in my backpack tho. Sony Model number is VGP-AMC7.

    Amazon has the VGP-AMC7 and I assume they ship to Canada. I have one and it looks nice, not quite as form fitting as I would like but good nonetheless.

    Cheers,

    I am sure they do unfortunately not everything can be shipped out of the US via amazon US, note:

    The problem is that sony canada should have these on their website for customers to purchase and not have to find it on other sites. So with no ability to get it off amazon US, and checking the canadian amazon site, I only get this via google

    http://www.amazon.ca/Neoprene-Carrying-Case-16-4in-Notebk/dp/B001CSO34S

    Currently unavailable.
    We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

    Ascariss,

    keep checking Amazon - I live in Korea, so know what you're going thru - found one of their vendors that does ship internationally and that's how I got my bag.

    Fry's also have a sleeve for 16.4 notebooks. It's called TUCANO SECOND SKIN 9 Dot - Laptop Sleeve - 16.4" PC (Black) and they sell it for $29.99.

    Know it's not a sleeve, but this offers good protection, just finished 12,000+ miles of airline and car travel. Worked great and lightweight.
