"Great Notebook Sleeve"
Bought sleeve for 17" Dell Studio 17. Fits great with a little room to spare. Only wish it had an outside pocket for odds & ends.

"Great Purchase"
I'm very glad that I ordered this item. It was a bit pricey - however, it was impossible to find a notebook sleeve for a 17 inch laptop anywhere else, and I know that Belkin is a quality brand. This protects my new laptop and I have no worries about scratches, etc. My only gripe is the price, but considering how much the laptop cost, $30 is a small price to pay to protect an investment! I'd order Belkin products again and have recommended their notebook sleeves to friends and co-workers.

"Exactly what I was looking for."
Very nice sleeve. The neoprene offers sufficient protection for your notebook. Although it does have a kind of funny smell. I wouldn't recommend getting the 15" for your 17" like someone else did. I don't know maybe it depends on the brand but I have a Toshiba, and the 17" fit my notebook just fine with a tad bit of room to spare. The only thing I can say is don't get this if you use a notebook bag, unless it's really big, because my notebook doesn't fit in my bag with the sleeve on. Other then that I would recommend this sleeve for anyone. Thanks.

"Belkin Neoprene Notebook Sleeve 17""
This sleeve is very nice, as to be expected from Belkin. THe neoprene on the outside is thick. It can take a lot of abuse. The interior is soft fabric that won't scratch your laptop. There is also a ridge along the zipper line, to protect your laptop from the zipper itself. Only thing I wish is that they had different colors, but as far as protecting my laptop, which is what it is supposed to do, it does a great job. I got this cause my backpack didn't have a laptop sleeve built in. I chose the 17" because the 15.4" seem to fit too snuggly, and i've seen a lot rip.

"stylish and neat"
a good product i would recommend. like some people mentioned, it does have a strong plastic smell at first, but it goes away. full size 17" notebook (hp dv7t) fits nicely in there, with some room to spare for a paper notebook and some blank cd-r media. (an inner pocket would be perfect for this, and i plan on sewing one in when i get a chance)

it would also be nice to have something to be able to tell which side is the top quickly. the zipper is assymetrical, so this helps, but not readily visible.

i do move around with it a lot, and i can put it on the passenger seat or on the car floor without it slipping around.
it's not the best for carrying as it has no handles... and a 5 minute walk with a 17" in hand can get tiresome quickly. it keeps the lappy clean and somewhat protected, though i would not trust this sleeve to do more than cover your laptop and protect it from scratches.

i plan on getting a pelican case to adequately protect my laptop when going out on gigs, but i assume this sleeve would do nicley for most people that don't need to move it around much, or to complement a laptop backpack or breifcase.
