Anywhere at Indro (eg JBs) sell laptop sleeves for <$20?? I just want one of those wet-suit style ones to protect my lappy when I have it in my backpack.

That's what I have been doing whoop - but because I ride to uni I don't have much space in my backpack.

Cheers y'all.

Yep HN at Indro was where we last bought a sleeve. Cheap, good enough.

Just ensure you take your laptop with you to test them out. You might find a smaller size might be better to make a tight fit (loose sleeves are very irritating).

Also an aspect that people don't consider is the location of the opening zip or velcro. For a backpack you'd want it to be on the end (short side) so that you can slide your laptop out of the backpack without having to take the whole sleeve out. Just one of those things that is overlooked ...

Thanks para, but I'd fully intend on taking out the whole sleeve from the backpack. I'll keep it in mind though.

Yeah, like I did with mine, and got a 13" sleeve for my 12". It was worth it tho, so pretty :D (Plus noone sells interesting 12" sleeves)

I never realised you could buy these! I think I want one since the one that came with my laptop of choice was pink. :/
