    Timbuk2's Custom Envelope Laptop Sleeve, Small, fits like a glove. It's a little tight at first but after leaving the Blade in it overnight it's pretty easy to insert and remove. It's best to insert the laptop rear-first as pushing on the plastic hinge strip isn't good. Due to the curved corners, that leaves a bit of room at the bottom to protect the hinge.

    Just received the ACME case and it is BEAUTIFUL. The finish is so nice and the case fits very well. There is a small gap up top but I don't think it diminishes the value of the case. A small bonus is that the strap covers both the HDMI and USB so dust/unwanted stuff can't get in, BUT you can easily move it to the side if you want to charge your phone while in your bag. I would highly recommend it if you're looking for a vertical sleeve :)

    My Blade 14 fit nicely into a case logic 14 inch case - 15 bucks on amazon. Case is... Decent at best, but is sufficient to keep the computer from getting scratches and dings at TSA, which is all i needed.

    Case logic QUS-214 if you're looking for something slim and rigid, it fits the Blade 14 very well. I wasn't sure whether it would go in at first but a little push and it slotted in, it's loosened up now after only a few hours in the case.

    I decided against getting the razer sleeve since I didn't like the look of it. I'm guessing its due to the PVC/Polyester combo. I prefer a cloth like look of what I would call a "normal" sleeve.

    I decided to try the Incase 08 Macbook Pro 13" sleeve mentioned a couple pages back by "quickie". I wanted to add my own opinion and pics since I was also questioning how well it would fit with the specs so different from the MBP being not as wide, thicker, and not as deep as the RBP.

    I will say it does fit tight, and I haven't had a chance to see how well it stretches out, but even if it doesn't stretch I will be happy with it. I prefer a snug fit vs one where it slides around inside anyways. It does take a little bit of finesse to put it in there and not scratch it. I mean if you quickly zip it close without thinking you could scratch the sides with the zipper. Personally I take better care of my stuff and I gently close it pulling the zipper away and making sure the white part is sandwhiched between the zipper and sides. All that said, with the tight fit, its not so much pressure that it will hurt my blade in any way or I wouldn't even use it.

    The only "trick" I do besides gently zipping shut, is when I insert it into sleeve I put my index fingers between the sleeve and the razer on both hands. So I dont one hand insert it but takes both hands while holding the razer too. I have always done this to prevent any scratches on my notebooks, but I wanted to say this since I've seen many people just single hand insert into sleeves and that would be less safe to do in this case.

    Uhg, the picture upload isn't working for me (upload files button doesn't work), so I went to try dropbox but tried password reset since haven't use it in forever, then I couldn't access my hotmail. Typical. Finally guessed my drop box password I will try this again.
