    So I ordered a notebook sleeve. The original ship date was July 10th. It was then pushed back to some time this week. Now it is July 25th.

    I don't really care since my m1330 is supposedly not coming until August 5th but I was just wondering if anybody has had theirs ship yet. You'd think they'd have a pile of these in a warehouse somewhere but obviously not.

    If these are the same ones that I think that you guys are talking about, these sleeves you can buy pretty much anywhere. i've seen the Belkin ones @ Fry's... and I think they're reversible too. They sell other ones that have pockets on the outsides with zippers on them as well.

    I dunno.. it doesn't say what brand they are.. although, I just went on to the Dell site now and the only have them in two colours. The one I ordered is missing. They seem to do that to things they are out of stock in... boo.

    I have a case logic sleeve that is red that I bought at my college bookstore :D Don't know if you guys care much, but there ya go. Plus I could turn it inside out and it would be gray. although then I would lose the pocket ability it has.

    They're labelled differently in Canada, I guess.

    Here are the two currently available on dell.ca for the m1330...

    Edit: Okay, when I look on dell.ca under accessories, they list them as Belkin.

    pictures REALLY don't do this thing ANY justice. It is GORGEOUS and i would have paid the $35 had they not sent it free and would not have regretted it for even a second.

    Let me know if you need any other type of pics. I got the black/red obviously. I refuse to open the plastic..but if you want a inner-visual, i wont deny a request.

    no no, it's cool, although whenever you decide to take it out of the packaging it would be nice to see then. But it did look cool.

    Oh ok, I probably missed the part that you don thave your laptop yet, hehe.

    If you can check, I'm pretty sure that its reversible, right?

    here they are. You know you all like my sons spongebob pillow. First glance..its awesome. The zipper quality is actually good compared to other members of zip cases. Glides easy, doesnt get stuck or need any real force. Nice and SOFT this case is. I could use it as a pillow if I needed to. Take my laptop out of the sleeve, then use it as a headrest lol.

    Oh hmm odd. Maybe it was a case logic... either way I do know though that one of the sleeves that Fry's sells is reversible @.@... they aren't Targus.. or Belkin.. I can only think of case logic.

    You guys got seriously ripped off... there are far superior sleeves with much better build quality than Belkin for cheaper. I mean I'm sorry to point it out, but Belkin is really subpar as far as quality goes.

    CaseLogic, New Egg, 13" shuttle comes with a pocket, better build quality and only 16 dollars. The black version has red interior to match ruby red on the m1330. I have been using mine for the m1210 for a while and its the best.

    Definatly didn't pay for it lol. It was overnighted and free of any charge to me.

    When I say I would have paid for it, I said so without any research on others. Regardless, this sleeve will do what it was intended to do..be a SLEEVE for my 17" monster. That said, I love it.

    That is one of those things I will share with you via PM since it was in no way a "scam" or some ploy to get free things. It was purely legit, but I will not publicly let people know anymore how to take advantage after hearing thoroughly about this drake thing. Pm incoming.
