Bags/Cases/Sleeve Brands....

What would you guys recommend highly, and who to look out for?

I am looking at these brands

Timbuk2
crumpler
Brenthaven

I am trying to look at brands that make it specifically for laptops, not some hip JCPennys brand that made a case that has a slot large enough to slip a laptop into..I want it to be safe, and secure. You guys know what i am talking about

So, lets start a thread, ask and answer, everyone is curious about ways to keep their toys safe!

For a Neoprene sleeve, everyone seems to think Dr*Mo is the best way to go because it fits it with a 9 cell and 6 cell battery perfectly and material has more give to it

For a velcro sleeve, it seems the Case PC sleeve would be your best bet because it also accomodates your M1210 with a 9 cell and 6 cell battery

Waterfield designs

Check out Waterfield bags. They are expensive but the build quality is exceptional. Not to mention their customer service is amazing. Each order comes with a handwritten note telling you they appreciate your business. My last order they sent the wrong item. I e-mailed them and within two days they sent the correct item no questions asked. Their sleevecase fits my XPS Gen 2 like a glove.

Thanks for pointing out the Case PC, BowevelJoe. I've been looking at the Dr. Mo, but I think the Case PC is more along the lines of what I'm after. I'm ordering tomorrow.

I just bought this one (Timbuk2 Laptop Grip Sleeve):



It's got corderoy inside, great padding, and the m1210 with 9 cell fits perfectly into the "small" sized one. I throw the lappy into this case, then toss the case into my northface backpack (it ends up the same size as a normal college textbook). I tried out their basic sleeve with a velcro closure, and it fit great.


If any one wants me to take of pict of the 1210 in the case, let me know.

Here she is in the case:



It fits perfectly, and the bag is buff (all the clips and loops are metal, and the bottom part that you grap when you try to pull your laptop out is a rubbery/silicon patch that really helps).

Is it small enough to slip into another bag or is it meant to be a bag on its own?

It costs RM80 (It's around US$18.98). And it comes with a small combination lock too.

It fits the 6400 well. The material is "memory sponge".

sorry for not getting picture up of the timbuk2 case in a backpack (camera is freaking out. It fits just fine into my normal-sized northface backpack; It takes up as much room as one of those 2 inch binders that zip up.

No room for powersupply or mouse in it, but I throw those into the front of my backpack

I just ordered one of the Timbuk2 grip sleeves, but it is the kiwi color, I didnt see that color on the website so I am a little worried, but I asked them if it was the right product. I hope it is not bright nasty green, but a dark green..

I will update you guys on it as soon as I have it

I got just got a crumpler roll-o-notes bag. I don't think they make this specific model anymore, but it looks similar to their Hee-goer. I like it, but I think it would have been perfect if it was slightly roomier (the M1210 fits perfectly, but not much room for all the stuff I like to carry around).

Glad you like it. I am planning on getting the cargo bag to accompany my sleevecase soon. I will post a small review when I get it.

I got the Timbuk2 Grip Sleeve, extra small I believe was the size. It fits snugly, just enough space to slide it in and zip it up with a 6 cell. Get the next size up if you have the 9 cell
