    Hi, I need to buy a sleeve for my FW so i can put it secured in my backpack,
    could you pls help me and suggest sleeves that give a snug,tight fit and can be found online?

    I ve seen on the official forum people suggesting sleeves from Case logic but couldn't find which particular sleeve did they use. there are for 15,4", the 16", 17" and even one for Macbook.
    Since it's elastic neoprene i suppose there are many options.

    I can't get the official sony sleeve ( vgp-amc7 ) because it is not available in my country and I coudn't find it in online stores or ebay, at least not without paying triple its price for shipping it overseas

    thanx for your input

    Try thru Amazon and check all the sellers for the bag. I live in South Korea - had the same problems with either high shipping costs or not available. Finally found one that would ship here. Sorry been quite some time (almost a year) and don;t remember which one, but I had to try several times.
    Also keep in mind the Sony one is really not going to give you you "snug, tight fit". It will cover it and provide some protection, plus comes with a separate case for the power supply. Not bad, but not snug...

    Hi J&SinKTO, i searched amazon, although i am not that familiar with it but I can see only 2 seller options at the moment, amazon, and tech galaxy, both overpriced shipping.
    thanks for your info regarding the fit though. Hope someone suggests sthing from case logic or another company.

    I just got the 15.4 and 14" sleeves from meritline which ships direct from hong kong. Price was right (5.99 or so) and delivery was about 3 weeks. I think they have quite a few sizes to choose from.

    thanks, i checked it if i can't find anything else i ll go for it, the 17" model since price is negligible.

    But i was hoping someone who owns a Fw could share some info from personal experience..
    what case and how tight is it?
