    I am not sure. The price is great and my needs are really small these days. I want something that is nylon in material, cheap and decent in padding. My problem is that I have a sleeve that I put my laptop in. I want to be able to put this laptop/sleeve combo in my laptop bag, but the dimensions of this is big. It makes my laptop into a 17" machine, making it tough finding the case I want.

    I have been shopping for it for a while. I will make a thread for it later, haven't had time recently. Maybe you can present me some options at that time? :)

    Thanks, this is perfect for a new laptop I ordered. Not to mention I might end up traveling up in the future.
