So I'm a proud owner of a 14" T42, and I'm looking to get a laptop sleeve, or maybe a bag to carry my new baby in. I'm currently running around the campus a lot, so I would prefer just a sleeve where I can slip in and out of my backpack, but I'll consider a separate shoulder bag thing if it's small/lightweight enough.

So do any of you have any good sleeves to recommend me, so that I can tote it around inside my own backpack? I would like it to be as snug as possible, TIA!

I haven't seen many sleeves around in stores, but I'm sure they're plentiful online. I went with a whole new backpack to tote around my T42

I work @ BBY tho, so that is the only reason I shopped there. Overall it works out well. Keeps the laptop very secure. The CD player compartment is perfect for the power cord and there is a respectable number of pockets for misc crap. The "book" compartment is smallish, so if you carry a lot of books it probly won't do too well. I can fit about 3 1" 3-ring binders and 1-2 large-size textbooks b4 it fills up.

Yeah, I've seen some pretty cool backpacks, but I don't know if I'm ready to get another one if I can get by on a sleeve. Thanks though, I hear http://www.ebags.com and www.timbuk2.com has some good stuff as well, if anyone else is looking for a back pack.

Don't know if this is allowed per forum rules
but a friend of mine is selling a sleeve on ebay

It's a very good sleeve and very well made.

Sites to check out

Those are mostly for apple ibooks and powerbooks but just compare the size.

Also that sleeve on ebay is in that list somewhere.
