My fists are turning coal into diamonds

I have a question for the laptop owners out there.

I'm looking for a good sleeve for my Macbook. I don't want a full on bag; I already have a backpack that I like. I just want something that will pad and protect the laptop inside said backpack. I've browsed around some on the web, and I've seen a few things I like, a few things I might be convinced to settle for, and a whole lot of crap. So far, Applesac and Sumo Cases stand at the forefront of the pack. However, for this particular sort of purchase, I generally feel better if I can personally examine the product before I buy it. The next best thing is to have someone I actually know make a recommendation.

So, if anyone out there is using a sleeve-type covering for your computer or you have seen one that impressed you being used by someone else, please make your recommendation here. Thanks.

(will LJ comments accept html?)

Thanks for the suggestions.

HTML works fine in LJ comments (as you can probably now see).

well it formats it, but for me it's still not clickable. Bah!

Hmm... I don't think you're doing it right. I use html in my posts all the time, and I've never had any problems (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/problems).

No, I'm not an idiot. Turns out LJ restricts anonymous comments from having live links in an effort to curb spam. Or so I read here:

My intent was not to imply that you were an idiot. Sorry if it came off that way. That makes sense, though; no evil bot spam links.

You know, your Macbook actually came with its own sleeve...

Um... you mean that anti-static sheet? That's not a protective sleeve; that's packaging.

Oh, come on! Be resourceful!
