    I happened to be in an art supply store when I came across a case that
    would be perfect for a laptop (if your lappy fits in it). The strange thing is what it’s designed to be – a quilting case. Thanks right, you read correctly. You’ll have to see it to believe it.
    Features that make it perfect:
    A very, very, sturdy perimeter frame – no give what so ever.
    A face and back that are nearly as sturdy.
    Despite being so tuff it weighs next to nothing.
    Straps that will hold your lappy in place.
    A price that’s competitive to lower end laptop cases.

    Wow... you guys got some bigotry issues. Grow up.

    It's a plain black case, which happens to be marketed for use with quilting supplies. I'll bet if you saw it in a PC magazine you'd be saying how much it "pwned!!1"...
    This is what it looks like.

    Grats on your good find Neuro. And the added benefit of being a plain black case means it won't immediately get targetted as "Laptop inside!!".

    That's its real value-protecting your machine from thefts somewhat. Personally I like backpacks or aluminum briefcases (dream cases) :)

    Note: William Gibson is awesome :)
