    So I got my FZ31S on Friday and today I got the Crumpler Gimp case for it, but it's a bit too small as i guess it was really designed for the Macbook.

    Anyone else have any suggestions for a nice sleeve to keep my new toy looking new?? Most I've seen say they're ideal for the Macbook which leads me to believe it may not be big enough for my Vaio :(

    cheers but the problem with getting proper Sony Vaio sleeves is that they cost the earth.

    I'm finding that picking a bag/sleeve for my laptop is nearly as tricky as picking the laptop itself!!

    I ordered a Vaio neoprene sleeve from Sony's website for $23.99. My laptop also came with a Vaio messenger bag. Newegg has them for $39.99. I'm hoping the combination of the two will be sufficient, but the laptop is still in the mail somewhere, so I haven't checked the fitment yet. The Sony rep told me on the phone that the Vaio sleeve was for the FZ model only, but when I got it, it said it fits most 15.4" notebooks, so I'm not sure if it's tailored specifically for the FZ or not. Time will tell.

    Built NY sleeves are nice and fashionable. Best Buy and REI both sell them. So bring your FZ into the store.

    I've just bought the VGP-CP17, designed especially for the FZ, BX, NR, and FE series...all 15.4 inch models. Fits perfectly :)
