Good Sleeve for W7J?

I've been looking for a good sleeve for the W7J to no avail.


I guess the 13.3 form factor is relatively new. I've been looking mostly at sleeves designed for the Macbook. The width and depth are fine, just the height is significantly different. (Macbook = 2.8cm, W7J = 2.9 - 3.69)


Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Almost all of those listed on the site are too big. The only one that is close is the Caselogic EVA.

Thanks. I think ultimately I'll have to take my notebook down to a Apple store to see if any of the sleeves fit. I hope none of the workers see it's actually a pc and not a mac

 

My sister uses a Zeroshock 12" notebook sleeve for her Fujitsu Lifebook P5020D. The Asus W7J will fit neatly in a Zeroshock 14" notebook sleeve ( http://shinza.com/product_info.php?cPath=5&products_id=46), whose interior dimensions are (W x D x H) 13.0 x 1.8 x 10.8 inches (330 x 45 x 275 mm). Not a snug fit, I know. I can only hope there'll be a Zeroshock in the near future for 13.3" widescreen notebooks.

 

I'm having a lot of trouble finding a sleeve that fits snuggly on the w7j as well >.< Anyone with experience can tell us if the sleeve is about half an inch to an inch to big on either width or length does it make a huge difference? what about depth?

 

I suggest you try crumpler or timbuk2 sleaves.

Enjoy!

 

Waterfield has a bunch of custom-sized notebook sleeves:

http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases.htm

I recently ordered one of their "sleevecases" to go inside one of their cargo bags. The W7j doesn't show up on their sleevecase sizing chart, but they told me via email which sleevecase sizes would work best for the W7j (with either a 6-cell or 9-cell battery). I don't have those sizes with me right now and can't remember them, but they can help you out if you email them.

Note that you can customize the sleevecases to have a strap, flap, external pockets, padding, etc. Or you can get the stripped down version and use it inside another bag.

 

I forgot about Waterfield. Good call.

Later.

 

waterfield bag and sleeves seems.... extremely expensive

40 for sleeve and all the bags are like 200+ >.<

I was hoping to get something like a bag/backpack with sleeve inside for 50-60~

this is the best fit i can find so far. thickness and length fits perfectly. width is 1.3inch or so too big, but since you're holding it horizontally, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

 

Search tucano: BF-S-131

I'm gonna get that one!

 

also just found this guy: : http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/300/TB0374

the size 5 is a bit to big but may work, and the size 6 is perfect, oh so perfect, besides the height!

 

are u sure guys? the w7J has a height of 1.5in. the tucano u picked only has like 1.2 :-/ for the tucano even the length is too small, 12.2 and 12.4. I know they can stretch a bit but wouldn't that make it difficult to put in and take out? I want the perfect size >.<

 

i think im just gonna take it to stores around me when i get it to see if i can get a good fit. i guess radio shacks carry the tucanos. that tucano should fit according to the w7j dimensions:

12.4" (length) x 8.92" (width) x 1.142"~1.453" (height)

and the tucano size guide, page 4 http://www.tucano.it/ENG/html_esterno/compatibilita/FOLDER_SS.pdf

 

well the tucano BFS131 shows the following specs

Interior Dimensions - Width 12.2 in.
Interior Dimensions - Depth 9.05 in.
Interior Dimensions - Height 1.18 in.

 

hmm touche! their size guide is wrong then

i am going to send an email to tombinh.com's customer service and see what they reccomend out of their products. i really like the soft cell.

 

for anyone else interested. the waterfield sizes for the w7j are

horizontal 26-18
vertical 26-19

so yeah 40 bucks if u get it from there ~_~. But seems like that's the only one available with a perfect fit right now. Poo

 

I really like the Tucano sleeves also but according to their size charts online, our notebooks don't fit because they are too fat

I didn't know Radio Shack carries Tucano sleeves. There is one near by, I should go check it out in person.

 

In Canada, we have a small case, very nice, but not a sleeve. That is one of the most stylish case so far for 12" ans 13" notebooks. Maybe hard to find that one here, it is made by Targus for MSI.

Danny,
Nice case indeed! May be just what I'm looking for.
Do you sell those in your american store as well? What's the price in American Dollars? Can you ship it to me from Canda? what's the deal?

 

Considering how close in size the w7j is to the Sony SZ, anyone tried one of the Sony sleeves?

 

Get the tucano for the MacBook. It has got to fit.

 

I just posted a photo of the W7J in a ZeroShock 14" notebook sleeve at W7J Owners' Lounge - Page 7

Audrey at Shinza.com had told me in an email:

 

Waterfield is expensive...but also very good. They have good service too if that matters to you.

I just received my tucano BF-S-131 sleeve from datavis.com and it is absolutely perfect. This was the case tucano reccomended for the w7j. It is a stretchy sleeve and fits snugly, no shifting. the zipper also easily goes around the edges.

http://www.datavis.com/webapp/commerce/command/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=458059&prmenbr=2000

its only 14 dollars plus shipping. problem solved.

 

Heh I ended up getting it from Waterfield. Perfect Fit. Very nice material. I'm satisfied. Although it is expensive :-/ 46 after shipping

 

Wow, thread revival

I'm actually looking to buy a STM sleeve. I saw one in person and I really like the material. They ran out of 13.3 MacBook sleeves and will be getting some more in about a week. Hopefully it will fit the W7J

 

Had a little trouble finding it... I'm set up with 30posts/page so it was only on page 3. In case anyone else is looking, it's post#68

 

I am still waiting for Shinza's 13.3'' sleeve... hopefully it will fit...not sure..

 

I am using a 13.3 Sony sleeve. It fits fine, nice and snug.

 

This is my first post on this forum
I bought the W7J Tuesday and it came with an ASUS branded sleve with a magnetic catch... It looks good and the W7J fits perfectly.

 

how about some pictures from people with their W7J's in their respective sleeves ?

 

where did you buy your w7j?!

 

I'd like to see a picture of it as well! Cheers!

 

I bought my W7J at a place called Data3 here in Brisbane, Australia. Unfortunately I don't think they deal direct to the public. I got it under a salary sacrifice agreement at work.

Anyway, I have attatched a pic.

Now how's willing to sell me something like that?? =P

 

Well, it is ASUS branded, so someone at ASUS in your country might know about them. Mine didnt come in the white box that the w7 came in. Data3 shipped it in a larger box that contained a targus laptop carry bag, plus the sleeve. I guess it depends on who you order from as to what "extras" they include"

Adam

 

Can any of the dealers tune in here and find out some information about this asus branded sleeve for the w7j?
