Over the years I've bought neoprene sleeves for a IBM 600e, Acer Ferrari 3400 and Acer Ferrari 4000 from: http://www.thepouch.com/ Each is built exactly to the laptop's dimensions. Can even get it in red!

I had a custom (i.e. bright red) sleeve made for my Ferrari for something like $40 at: http://www.thepouch.com/ It is a soft sleeve, offering I supose only minimal drop or bang protection, but good for careful carrying in luggage...

I’m surprised somebody more knowledgeable hasn’t responded to you by now. In any event, speaking strictly as an amateur, I’ve seen the type of failure to return from a suspended state that you describe on both a Thinkpad and an old...

Yep - at least in the old days (which means here, eight weeks ago) the Ferrari 3400 used the Acer Easyport III LC.T4101.004. Most reseller sites do a *terrible* job of carrying it, much more identifying it as working with the Ferrari. ...
