    Can someone recommend me a light nylon type laptop sling to fit a 15.6 laptop. The sling must accommodate a laptop with a sleeve on it and be light. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What is your budget?

    15.6" can be hard to "fit" I have a 15.6" lappy myself. I would prolly bump up to a 17" unless I knew it specfically fit.

    Here is a 17" Incase Nylon Sling Pack - $78.99 Amazon

    Also, check this against your lappy's dimesions, since it's a "sling" you want..it may work..Others have reported this working for their 15.6" (even though it says up to 15.4") ;)

    Belkin Laptop Sling Bag (Jet/Cabernet)


    15.4" Backpacks etc..are very "tight" fits for 15.6" lappys..I had ordered a 15.4" tote for my lappy..and have to use a "sleeve" for extra further protection because of that tight fit. :(

    Just looking for something really light since I already have several cases. Also not looking to spend more than $30.00. Just really want a light nylon sling that will fit a 15.6 laptop. My laptop already has a sleeve to protect it, the sling is more for just transporting my laptop from one place to the other without being burden with a heavy bag. So does anyone else have any ideas about a light nylon sling for a 15.6 laptop?

    take a normal sling from some old bag of yours, staple a sleeve to it, and voila! Can't think of anything else that would be within that budget

    ah, forgot to mention - don't buy Belkin bags. They fall apart, pretty quickly
