14.1" Laptop owners - where did you get your case?

impact_player · 4th October 2007, 3:18 PM

Hi all,
I'm looking for a 14.1" laptop sleeve, but at the moment I'd be pretty happy to find a 14.1" case. It seems that 15.4 and 13.3 are the really popular sizes at the moment and so I've been unable to find one. Getting a 15.4" sleeve doesn't seem like a particularly good idea since it'll be able to move around in it. Anyone out there with a 14.1" laptop who can point me in the right direction?

Cheers

have you tried putting it in a 13.3" sleeve i think they are fairly stretchy and if your laptop isnt to thick it might work? maybe borrow one off a mate and see if it fits?

I just got a belkin studio series sleeve. It's made for 14" lappies and comes in a range of colours. Fits my 14" Acer snugly and looks good. Was $39.95 from JB Hifi. You can also find them at HVN and officeworks.

Thanks guys, the JB's that I went to either didn't have that belkin sleeve, or the guy didn't know where it was. Went from shop to shop for ages yesterday without any luck. I did think of seeing if the 13.3 would stretch - now I just need to find a mate with one.

But I'm open to any other suggestions from people! Didn't realise it'd be so hard to find a 14" case. Once upon a time, didn't pretty much all laptops come in 14"?

I used this:

Targus TBS004US

when I had a 14.1 inch notebook. Fits pretty snuggly for my W3J notebook.

Go to officeworks dude, surely there's one in your area? Get the 14" belkin one, it's a good quality bag/sleeve.

I think my sleeve for my 14" screen is a 15 inch one, its not that snug but, it doesn't slide around too much either.

I've got a $45 belkin 15" case. It has a stretchy strap and it doesn't move around much at all when the ac adapter is in there too.
