    Can anyone reccomend a case that will perfectly fit an xps m1330? Most cases available through dell are too big. I'm considering to get one made for a 13" macbook if that would fit.

    I'm looking at the Belkin Sling Bag, but it is not designed for 13.3" screens (it's max 15.4"). Don't know if it's really a big deal if it's too BIG...maybe it won't fit snugly?

    I received an ACME laptop case as a gift and I love it! They have different models, and for each model you can get a different color/pattern. You can Although most of them are a little feminine or metrosexual. They apparently are starting to make more stuff to appeal to males, but I still think they're pretty girly. But I definitely think you get more protection than a sleeve without the bulk of a laptop bag.

    I've ACME cases in the SonyStyle stores but they also have a website www.acmemade.com.

    Just a note: the ACME Slim cases have no room for a laptop charger, but the Slim cargo has that extra compartment.

    with the 9-cell battery, the XPS will have some of the weirdest dimensions of any laptop. It will still have the width of a 13.3 incher but the height of something larger (because it sticks out in the back) and the thickness of some 5 year old machine.

    the best bet may just be to use one of the many custom-dimension sleeve websites on the internet. They're a dime a dozen on google and I've seen them starting as low as $25 to some upwards of $80.
