    I just bought this a couple of minutes ago:

    [​IMG]

    I'm using it to cover the keyboard so that when the laptop is closed, the keyboard doesn't come into contact with the screen. I had something similar with my MBP but I think that was part of the Marware (sp?) kit. I looked around for something similar a while earlier but the cost for those I found just doesn't seem reasonable :) This one comes in a pack of 3 and is $4.47, found in automotive sections of places like Target, Walmart, etc. It doesn't fit precisely (it's 14" by 14") but I can live with that :)

    Why would the keys touch the screen it has rubber stoppers around it.
    I did see the old Z had this problem, but isn't it fixed for this model?

    I think the screen is kind of flexible, so maybe the middle can bend inwards. I think my sleeve's way too stiff for that but I'm paranoid :p I'll also be using it to clean the screen and keyboard, so it'll be handy.

    I found the cloth I used for my MBP, it's not from Marware, but from Tucano. IIRC, it was bundled with the MBP's sleeve.

    A suede leather square cut to the dimensions of the screen for protecting when closed.
    A Victorinox laptop backpack for travelling.
    Canned air and a leather chamois for cleaning.
    Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery for backups.
    And, perhaps most important, a water pistol.

    If it's attracting dust, and you put it inside the laptop, aren't you going to make the keyboard etc. dusty as well?
