Customer Review: Consider these points....
Summary: 4 Stars

For several years, I carried my laptop in a Targus notebook case. The weight of the bag and of the laptop on my right shoulder often left me with severe discomfort during my long commute to school and to work. I finally decided to purchase the Fellowes Neoprene Notebook Sleeve so that I could place my laptop in my bookbag.

After purchasing this product and using it for about a month, I would recommend that you consider these points:

1) Will my laptop fit into the Sleeve?
You may be thinking to yourself that this is an obvious point. However, I would suggest that you measure the thickness, width, and length of your laptop, and compare that to the measurements that Fellowes provides for the sleeve. One observation that I made about the sleeve is that it is very thin. I found that my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop with a 15" wide LCD screen just barely fit into the Fellowes 17" Neoprene sleeve ("the sleeve"). What I mean by barely is that I can place my laptop entirely into the sleeve but I have difficulty closing the zipper to encase the laptop. The thicker your 17" laptop, the harder I think it will be for you to zipper your laptop within the sleeve. Many have also expressed this same viewpoint in their reviews on Amazon and other websites. Do not dismiss this very important point or you may end up returning this item.

2) How safe will my laptop be in the sleeve?
Compared to my old bag, the Neoprene sleeve offers minimal protection. Why? The sleeve will protect your laptop from the inadvertent scratches and from the random crud that may enter your laptop during transport. But (and more importantly) the sleeve will offer minimal protection from any impact the laptop may suffer during an accidental drop. The sleeve is especially weak around the zipper area (as there is less padding). For those who are prone to the accidental slip and fall, or for those who are used to dropping their bookbag (which may in the future carry your laptop), the sleeve may not be for you.
If, on the other hand, you take good care of your laptop, and are conscious of it during transport, it will likely suffer no harm. Moreover, it may be more comfortable to carry the laptop within the sleeve in a bookbag than it is to carry it in a shoulder-strap bag.

3) What will I carry the notebook sleeve in?
Bookbags and handbags come in all sizes. You may first want to think about whether or not your notebook (with the sleeve around it) fits into your existing bookbag or handbag. If so, how much addition by subtraction is taking place? With the added notebook, how many documents, books, and etc can you now fit into that handbag or bookbag? A student with a heavy course load may end up carrying some books in his hands.
