I've been on a quest to find the best PC notebook case. I carried a Targus, but I looked like a geek. I tried a special JanSport backpack, but it didn't have enough padding. Then I bought a Silicon Sports Notebook Wetsuit, and brother, was I dialed.
The Wetsuit is like a rubber for your notebook. Made from the same padded neoprene-and-nylon mix as a diving suit, it fits snugly around your notebook and you never have to take it off. Suddenly, your computer's safe not only from spills, scrapes, and scratches but bumps, too the screen side has a built-in metal plate for added protection. There's even a zippered pocket.
But the best thing about the Wetsuit is that you never have to worry about dropping your notebook again. With a handle and a shoulder strap, a Wetsuit-clad notebook is definitely carry-friendly. If, like me, you tote it around with a mug of joe in one hand and the phone in the other, you gotta get one.
It comes in three sizes to fit any notebook out there. My suited-up WinBook fits in my backpack and gives me enough protection to hit the road for real.
