(Posted by: jade_pisces on 2009-08-19 14:17:54)

I am looking at sleeve cases for my laptop on ebay. These are the sizes of my laptop. W 11.7 in H 1.5 in DEPTH 8.5 in. I am guessing i should be concentrating on the W- - and if thats right then i am seeing some the are like 13 or 15 so does it hold it good even if its bigger or should i look for something exactly my size? Thanks! i have a dell 700m and i got them offline. didnt measure it myself. i meant online not offline.

You have a 14.46 inch screen? If Pythagoras (Pythagorean theorem) is correct, you have an unusually-sized screen. I think you need to go back and re-measure your computer or look up the specs online for your particular make and model. If that's the case, get a 15 " sleeve. Don't get a 13 " sleeve because your laptop will be too large and a little extra room in the 15 " isn't a bad thing. Look for a Neoprene InCase sleeve. Those are the best, but if you purchase an InCase brand sleeve, get a 13 ". Those tend to be rather large and baggy, so a 14 " screen (measured diagonally) would probably fit snugly but properly. It would be swimming in an InCase 15 " sleeve. For all other brands, get the 15 " size. Edit: For your own edification, your screen size is 12.1 ". In that case, buy a 13 " sleeve and just be careful not to let it slip out of your hands due to the excess material. I also suggest running a Google search for "Dell 700m screen. " That's some scary stuff. Reason #4609 why Dells are terrible machines.

No, you should be concentrating on all three dimensions, not just the "W. " Take your laptop to a store, which sells those cases. Try them there. Write down the size, which fits the best and then buy it on eBay, if you prefer eBay and not a store.
