Dell XPS 15 9530 Accessories

Hi,

I purchased the mid model XPS 15 touch 9530 and want us to communicate about accessories. I'm looking for a nice hard shell snap on case or even a nice sleeve. Please let me know your thoughts.

I have this USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet - Amazon.com: Cable Matters SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter in Black: Computers & Accessories

Please post your recommendations for accessories.

 

I'd like to know which good cases there are. I want to buy a very nice expensive case for it (i'm in India travelling right now) but the Dell leather sleeve isnt sold in India, and i'm not sure what else to look for.

 

I'd like to get a case/sleeve designed for the 9530 myself.

I see Dell have an XPS 15 leather sleeve for the previous model. Anyone tried this with the newer model?

 

I'm also with you. I'm considering whether the Ethernet dongle should be USB 2.0 or USB 3.0. The option that Dell provides is USB 2.0. I wonder whether this is for compatibility concerns whether USB 3.0 is not supported, such as WIN7 PE?

 

Is there someone that has a suggestion for a sleeve for XPS15 9530?

 

What do you think about this Slevee?

Tucano Second Skin
Colore for notebook 15.4/16

or this one

That one looks OK but the only thing that would bother me is that it states it fits up to 16.4" models. With the XPS 15 being quite slim to begin with, I'd hate for it to move around inside the case.

I've gone for this Brenthaven sleeve for the MBP and I'll get it next week. I researched dimensions, and it looks like it's going to be a perfect fit.

 

Fits like a glove. Slots in nicely and closes with ease. This sleeve is ideal for me too as it's perfect for use around the house, but still fits into my laptop bag when travelling.



After having reviewing the dimensions (I'll list them below), it would be safe to assume the majority of Mac Book Pro w/ Retina (15") cases are compatible with the 9530.

XPS 15
Height: 0.3"-0.7" (8 -18mm)
Width: 14.6" (372mm)
Depth 10" (254mm)
Starting at 4.44lbs (2.01kg)

MBP 15 w/ R
Height: 1.8 cm (0.71 inches)
Width: 35.89 cm (14.13 inches)
Depth: 24.71 cm (9.73 inches)
Weight: 2.02 kg (4.46 pounds)

Hope this helps someone.

 

I wish crumpler made a sleeve that was a perfect fit!

 

I picked up one of these (the gray model) tonight with an ecoupon for 25% off. I believe the code was BM25.

 

Oh my gosh! I ordered that one in gray as well! What a coincidence. I actually love Brenthaven's products (with quality and style in mind) -- especially the Collins collection. I have the Collins backpack and messenger in gray. It's awesome stuff and it works awesome for my XPS 15. In my opinion, Dell's leather sleeve is overpriced for what it is even with my $15 off coupon, and I can almost assure Brenthaven's sleeve will outdo it (especially with their lifetime warranty). Mine comes in later on this afternoon!

 

BH30 gives you 30% off and free shipping for orders above $30.
BH-25 gives you 25% off and free shipping.

 

I received my Brenthaven Collins sleeve, and unfortunately I will be taking it back. I'm very picky about zippers being close to the laptop -- The zippers touch my XPS 15 while putting it in the sleeve and although the laptop's quality is great, I'd rather not risk getting any scratches. It's such a shame because the whole entire Collins series of products from Brenthaven look amazing (favorite, really).

Does anyone know if magnets can ruin the device? There's this sleeve on Amazon (made for rMBP but is for 15") that looks really nice but it's held by magnetic strap. Will that interfere with anything? I'm actually trying to find any sleeve with the same design -- a flap to close the sleeve instead of a zipper.

Here's the one I'm looking at now:

Amazon.com: Snugg Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch Leather Sleeve Case in Black - High Quality Case with Card Slot, Pocket and Premium Nubuck Fibre Interior: Computers & Accessories

 

Anyone found any other products that fit well? Some of the reviews of that Snugg one put me off, notably the magnets affecting things, the power slot not being there and the leather being smelly.

 

No one?

What're the thoughts on this?

Hi,

I ordered this sleeve and the XPS 15 fits well but it's a bit difficult to get the XPS out of the sleeve. I think because the XPS is a bit wider than the 15" MBP.

I would go for another sleeve

 

Thanks, but it's already on the way. At least Amazon returns are really easy.

 

Would love to see a hard snap on case.... But with all the different models it is tough on manufactures.

Hence why Apple has tons of accessories.

 

I don't really get the idea of snap on case. Do they really provide much protection at all?

 

I know my wife's 2 year old MacBook pro that we sold a couple of months ago looked the exact same as it is when it was purchased....... no scratches or dings in the lid. perhaps it would look that way without the case


but options would be nice

 

Does anybody know if the amazon basics thing fits well?

EDIT:
Has anyone tested one of these matte screen protectors? And how about the kensington lock, due i will use it in school very often and i want to leave it on my desk.

 

Got this a week ago, and it is a snug fit, but it's getting looser the more I use it. I wasn't sure at first but I'm definitely pleased with it.

 

Anyone tried out the Dell WM713 Bluetooth Touch Mouse?
Is it worth it?

 

I haven't had luck with Bluetooth accessories for some reason, hence tend not to use them. Personally I would go with one of the MS touch mice

 

i have a logitech bluetooth that works great... but many times bluetooth is a PITA

 

Probably wouldnt bother with one but logitech make some superb mice and wireless mice.

Ive just purchase an incase neoprene sleeve

 

Does anyone know if the case logic pas 215 can fit the xps 15? I'm interested in this one because of the extra pocket to carry around the charger or at least the wireless mouse. Thanks.

Does anyone know if there are something like an invisible shield for the cover of the laptop? Or a good looking shell? I really wouldn't want to scratch this beauty.

 

Need a hard shell case (prefer clear) for Dell XPS 15 9530. Please let me know where I can buy one!

 

Can anyone suggest a good Bluetooth mouse? I hate the idea of losing a USB port for a wireless mouse...

 

I think mines a Logitech t630, works fine and the battery lasts ages.
it is small though but the gestures on the mouse such as swiping left to right etc are great.

 

So far I can't find any.... I have checked almost everywhere and there is no hard shell case for the 9530

 

I am searching for a keyboard cover ? Has anyone found any keyboard that fits the xps 9530

Regarding the hard shells ,iPearl got the mCover for laptops other than Apple's but you have to request a specific model's over

It already got a hard shell for dell xps13 and 14 iPearl Inc - Light-weight, stylish mCover® Hard shell case for Dell XPS 13 Series UltraBook Laptops

 

I'm sorry I don't quite understand? Is it if enough people request it they will produce one or you just have to let them know you want the 9530's hard cover and they will send you one?

 

Actually I figured it out haha! Put in a request as well and it was good to see there were more than a few other requests pending. Just out of curiosity what did you consider a fair price?

 

Yes everyone who wants one please put in a request on the ipearl site. keep doing it weekly and maybe in a couple of weeks they finally decide to manufacture one. i think a fair price could be around 25?

 

I am going to post the link on the Owner's lounge so that it gets more traffic. This thread is pretty much dead. I put 20 which i think it more than fair tbh.

 

Heads up, I just purchased this as it is on sale, plus used a 25% coupon to get it for $15. Had to order the normal sleeve and an iPad case to make the price 29 for free shipping.

Where did you get the coupon at?

 

It says it on the bottom of their site right now. This bag is 55 on amazon and a review mentioned it fits the 9530. Hopefully it's good. Coupon (friends-25)

 

Thanks! Great deal! Slick I might add

 

with shipping it was 25, but for 29 you get free shipping, so it makes sense to pay 4 more dollars. I bought this too,

http://www.brenthaven.com/fbx-live-feed/collins-ipad-folio-indigo-chambray
for a total of $29 pretty cool

 

Hi, I received the Dell Premier Sleeve ( http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=460-BBVF)

For folks who are looking for a laptop sleeve for an XPS 9530 (i.e. pre-2015 version of XPS; not the 9550), the above sleeve does not fit.

I am trying the Opin Slim Laptop Sleeve next tho not sure why it's so pricey (this sleeve is described as leather on the Dell website but I don't think it's full leather... maybe leather trim maybe; looks more like a denim material): http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A8471474

If anyone is interested, happy to report back whether or not it fits the 9530. Hope this helps!

 

Hi ekk202,

I am looking for a slim sleeve with an extra pocket for the charger / mouse etc, thus I am really interested in the Opin Slim Laptop Sleeve as well.

Have you received your Opin sleeve yet? Would you mind sharing your thoughts on the quality, fit and features of the Opin Slim Laptop Sleeve?

Your help is much appreciated, thanks!

 

Decided to keep the opin sleeve. While better quality than most sleeves available at big box stores, it's not as premium as others in its price point. (Not leather as delll website describes except maybe zipper pulls) But it does fit an xps 9530 perfectly (seems to have been designed for the 2013-4 xps model with design as priority over protection). The extra pocket is purposefully slim and fits a compact mouse and 130 V compact charger but I wouldn't suggest it... Too lumpy for the sleek lines it intends. Interestingly, the packaging indicates Yves Béhar design, but without the cardboard sleeve's inconspicuously small signature, no indication that it's true. Interior color I recieved is yellow/white pattern (not as shown in picture) and there is a choice of two exterior colors (I chose tan vs black). Overall a nice choice specifically for the xps 9530, and if you're not looking to protect your laptop from higher than waist level drops but rather fashionable basic protection (as most sleeves intend) and can get it at discount, definitely recommend it for the better than average materials/design.

 

Thanks for the review! I assume the XPS 15 9550 would fit perfectly as well?

 

Dell xps 9550 is smaller/thinner than 9530 so may be better off with another made for 9550's dimensions. 9550 should fit opin sleeve but just not as nicely as 9530. I first tried dell's proprietary sleeve made for 9550 but does not fit my 9530 (and no pocket) cheers!
