    Hey all,

    Just wondered if anyone could tell me where I could purchase a notebook sleeve for a good price. I'm in Ontario, so Canadian stores would be appreciated, but I will drive to Buffalo if the deal is good enough! Online purchasing is not an option.

    Also:

    What constitutes a good notebook sleeve?
    What size would I need for a 14" widescreen? I noticed The Source by Circuit City has "small" and "large" ones.

    Thank you!

    Personally I use a backpack, but I usually carry more than just the notebook. Sometimes they have bag deals on FatWallet or Slickdeals for places like OfficeDepot, Bestbuy, Staples, etc. which I am sure some are located in Buffalo. Good Luck.

    As far as I know there is a circuit city and a bestbuy in buffalo (went to them when I was there a couple of christmases ago) ... they were relatively large stores so I guess they will have some good options.

    If you'll be using the sleeve for protection in a backpack, then you will just need something that will protect from scratches and minor impacts.
    If you want a sleeve to carry the notebook in, then you would want something with good impact protection. some thick foam or something of that sort.

    AS for size, look for measurements. It's best that you get something that is just the right size of your notebook or slightly larger. you wouldn't want your notebook sliding around in it!
