Meet Lady D, a girly laptop sleeve inspired by the "granny wallets" of yesteryear (or perhaps the kiddies' Hello Kitty wallets of today).
Quilted on the inside, and with a variety of fabric choices on the outside, The Lady D is a little classier than the usual schlubby neoprene envelope. The closure is one with which you'll be familiar, although not at this size. Two metal jaws open up to allow access to the bag and the notebook within, and each jaw has a little metal ball which interlocks with the one on the other side to keep it shut. The advantage of this design is that it exposes a good chunk of the computer's edge to make grabbing it easy.
If I ever went outside, and I was girl, I might consider the Lady D. As it is, if I can find one in a suitably nasty 1980s-style fabric to match her tastes, I may buy one for the Lady.
