Dell provide laptop sleeve?

Do Dell provide a protectic sleeve with a laptop purchased from them?
I know they have the bags at an extra fee, but i really like to have a protective pouch/sleeve for it, even if i use a bag, i like to put it in a sleeve as well.

I think they should if not, cause they are hard to buy the right fit outside of one specificly made for a laptop.

Does anyone know if you can get these sleeve custom made anywhere? I rang Clark Rubber, but they said they can only cut the foam to fit the inside.

When you say 'sleeve', do you mean a proper fabric type one?
If that's the case, then no
Dell laptops arrive in a semi-plastic sleeve; that looks like this:

Kmart/target have some special laptop bags, semi leather and quite light. Got more pockets that the parts in the laptop itself.

And it costs only around $40.

Might be worth checking it out.

Nah, the proper fabric one, or with rubber and foam.

Sure STM sells them, along with a whole bunch of other places, including a lot on ebay which i've sorted through. The problem is, unless the sleeve was specificly designed for your laptop, then it's not going to be a good fit, and wont fit at all, or the laptop will be swimming around in it.

I don't trust the inside of a regular laptop bag with my laptop, the sides seem too rough, there could be grit at the bottom, there could be an inside pocket with a zip or other pouches.

The 13" Macbook sleeve from STM seems an ok size for a Dell XPS1210, it's one of the better fits, but the width/depth is still to much. All the ebay ones are similar problem, that's why you need custom.
