    I recently bought a Sagr 5793 (awesome notebook btw, highly recommended) and am now looking for a case to protect it with.

    I've narrowed it down to a few cases, but I have some questions on the Pakuma Choroka K1.

    First question is, how protective is it? It seems like it should be pretty good, but I just want to make sure.

    Second and most important question: It states that the Cocoon dimensions are 48x5x26.5cm. My Sager is 39.6x4.6x29.2cm.

    Now, since that is just the vertical component, I'm wondering if that is really much of a problem, since the picture on Pakuma's website shows the laptop sticking above it a little... Is this a huge problem? I realize it would have an affect on the saftey, but I'm not planning on dropping it on its top or anything.

    What do you guys think?

    Also, how is the construction? Are they well built? I haven't found many review of the Pakumas.

    The other case I'm looking at is the Slappa Hardbody Pro for 17" notebooks. It seems really solid, but I like the aesthetics of the Pakuma better, so it basically comes down to protection.

    I am also thinking of purchasing a Zalman N2000 notebook cooler, and am assuming there is no room for it in the Slappa, but there is on the Pakuma. Not a huge issue, but worth considering for me, i think.

    On a related note, anybody know why the Slappa site won't let me select the 17" version of the hardbody anymore?

    Thank you all for your help.
