Now that I’ve had the new laptop for a while I’ve found myself doing a little traveling and in need of some type of carrying case. I have a Targus Notebook Backpack but that has so many pockets I find myself throughing everything in except the kitchen sink. Of course since the new laptop has a 12 cell batter and I’ve been getting 4 – 6 hours out of it I figured it was time I went with something a little lighter. So after hearing about a sleeve on a forum or two I went searching and I must say I found a great company with a great product.

My requirements were the laptop needed to fit snug and provide protection, but that’s it. No need to worry about pockets to carry cables or cords, just make it simple. After a bit of searching I ran across a place in San Francisco called Waterfield Designs. This company makes a variety of protective cases for laptops, ipods, ipod gear, keyboards, cables and wallets. I’ve had it now for about a month and it is great. What I got was a Sleeve Case exactly like the one pictured. Made from high grade neoprene with ballistic nylon shell it is rugged and looks great at the same time. You can select from 14 different laptop manufactures with all there current models and customize features such as orientation, closing flap, sholder strap, or a piggy back.

If you have a similar need and are looking for something unique, this is it. Not to mention they are made in the USA, at $45.00 with no extras it was well worth it.
