I bought this item with my HP Pavilion TX1320US notebook I thought that it will be fit in this notebook but I was wrong, This item is too small for the laptop of the amazon's promo. Nevertheless this items seems to be a good options for laptops with the correct size

Fits my new 15.4" MacBook Pro. At first I wasn't sure about the hourglass shape but once it's on the laptop the shape modifies. Doesn't look as,'hourglassly'. I really like the funky designs but wish they had more patterns to choose from. I bought the LARGE multi Poka dot pattern with the off white background .. which I LOVE..and the brown multi-dot one. It gives a very snug fit and fits into my backpack nicely.
Even though it says 15" it fits my 15.4" UNI-BODY MacBook Pro PERFECTLY.. I Highly recommend!!

The dimensions look as though they might fit a 13" laptop (MacBook), but they do not. This is only for a 12" laptop.

The laptop sleeve is great quality; the problem is the sizing is way off. I had read other review of this product which said that the laptop sleeve ran small and suggested that you buy a size bigger than your computer, and I did. I bought a 17" laptop sleeve for a 15.4" widescreen laptop and the Built NY 17" laptop sleeve was still too small for my computer or to be specific it was still too narrow for my computer. Amazon lists the external dimensions as 16.9 in L x 11.8 in W x .5 in D. The 11.8 in W measurement that is listed is from the ends. The hour glass part in the middle is around 10.4 inches wide, so if your computer is wider than about 9.5 inches don't buy this laptop sleeve.

i purchased a macbook and wanted to get a semi-protective sleeve for it. the product itself is well-made. however, it does not fit the 13" macbook very well which causes the laptop to shift around inside the case.

with that said, i would not recommend this product for the 13" macbook as it is a better fit for owners of 14" and 15" laptops.

This is an extremely well made sleeve for a laptop. I have a Toshiba 17" laptop and I bought this sleeve because of the outstanding workmanship. It fits my laptop like a glove. It is made of wet suit material which offers more cushion than another sleeve I used on my 15" laptop. It zips on the side instead of the front so it offers more protection for the computer. I highly recommend this product.

BASICS:
I recently bought a new computer, a Lenovo Thinkpad x61 (12.1"), and was in dire need of a sleeve to protect it. This product is wonderful and I was very happy to see that my laptop fits perfectly inside, even when I have the extended battery on, which was very important to me and something that I was worried about.

BOTTOM LINE:
Great product, very nicely made, fits perfectly, stretches nicely but stays snug to hug your laptop and provide protection. Definitely worth buying!

I bought this laptop sleeve because an earlier reviewer said it was a perfect fit for Lenovo Thinkpad X61.

He was wrong.

The sleeve is about 2 inches too wide and does not fit properly. The "patent pending" hourglass shape is ugly, uncomfortable to hold, and makes the sleeve larger than necessary. The material is a dust magnet and looks speckled with dandruff-like particles all the time. Lastly, the case smells like cheap rubbery plastic as soon as you open it.

If you own a Thinkpad X61, I definitely do not recommend this case.

I own a 14 inch HP Pavilion Laptop and I think this product was especially made for it. It's an EXACT fit and I love it. I'm not sure how it would fit with a 15 inch computer as it seems there wouldn't be room for another inch but if you have a 14 inch computer this is perfect. With that said, the material does stretch a bit so maybe it could.

I bought my sleeve in order to turn my favorite "messenger bag" into an optional computer carrier (for bike commuting). It works great for that, as would wadded-up newspaper, a towel, or a large serving of popcorn, as padding is the key. This provides that. What I discovered is that a padded sleeve this one provides the best way to transport your machine when a full blown laptop bag is too much. Relying on a fully charged battery, I have used my excellent Built NY sleeve to take my laptop along on flights, and I do so with confidence in the security of the machine (and going through security is a BREEZE without having to dig the computer out of a bag). One warning: make sure the computer is completely off and not just snoozing, because this is essentially an artic sleeping bag and you'll probably overheat the computer quickly if it is stored with the power on.
Built NY makes these in a range of sizes - find the right one for you and enjoy.
