Hi,
I'm looking for dicota Perfect Skin or something similar which can fit in a 15.4 inches laptop.
http://www.dicota.com/start.php?office=33&...tDetails&ds=404
Thought of stuffing the laptop into it, and put it into normal backpacks. Do you think this will be able to prevent the laptop from minor damages (such as scratches or knocking on other stuff)?

Any idea where can I find one and how much is the price?

Yeah, Nice looking case.

I saw one of this at the last PC-Fair in December 05. I remember vaguely that it was DICOTA and was more than RM100. The promotional poster was a picture of a lappie inside the case and a brick dropping onto it from a few feet up in the air.

Don't really know if it works.....

my laptop bag timberland claremont, bought it for rm 171.25, finally can fit in 17 inch dell while looking good at the same time.

P.S: to all LYNers that have credit card and want a crumpler bag, i suggest looking at ebay UK, the price plus shipping is about rm 100 - 200 less than buying a crumpler here

Hey, I got something similar (but not as hardy as the dicota I think). Asked my friend to buy it for me from Singapore. Cost about RM 50 I think.

Thanks man!!

Hi Madstone, I saw your Dell 6400 signature, is your graphic card GMA 950? How's the performance? Can we adjust the shared memory to higher, say 256MB? Any software can do that? Thanks for sharing!

So is this laptop sleeve thing really capable of protecting the laptop?
From the picture on the dicota web site, the sleeve looks really thin, wonder if it's about to protect the laptop if the laptop knock on anything else.

Depends on what you wanna protect against. For minor bumprs, drops from very low height (like 10 cm from the ground), the sleeve is kinda ok. It's definitely good to use when you don't wanna lug around your lappie bag. Coz my samsonite is kinda big but it cannot really deform easily, makes it difficult for storage in my uni's library. And it doesn't have as much space as my dart frog. So I use the sleeve + my dart frog for travelling with a lot of books. And the extra plus point of using the sleeve is, you don't become targets for snatch thieves. Coz in a lot of cases of snatch theft (laptops), the thing that gives the victim away is the bag. Supplied lappie bag is a no no.

Btw, I've knocked my laptop (with and without the sleeve) several times. Still surviving. But I believe that the sleeve (since it's so "cushiony") absorbs quite a bit of impact since it distributes it evenly along the surface.

how much is Targus Evolution Rucksack now? and is it waterproof even if not use the rain cover? and how big is it? can someone who owns it show a pictue of you carrying the bag at your back?


right now i'm just using my high sierra camping bag,


i just used the foam that comes with the packaging of my laptop as a cushion at the bottom, but there no cushion for the top and side of the backpack.

Does your HIGH SIERRA have a compartment to secure your lappie?

theres no compartment, its just a camping bag not a notebook bag, i just used the styrofoam from the original packaging as a cushion, so right now i'm looking for a good backpack, im interested at 2, the dicota bacpac mission and the targus ruckus evolution, almost same price, dont know which one has best feature or looks better.

Hey guys... just found out this site
http://www.cgcomputers.com/pdf/Targus.pdf

Nice... saw that site with the Targus pdf...

The Evo Rucksack is still RM280 I think.. I'm not sure if its fully waterproof else why it comes with the added cover right.. But I dun use the cover during rainy days, inner contents still dry.. For those who dun want to get a new backpack but in love with their current ones may want to consider a notebook sleeve instead.. the padding is good enuff for protection in your backpack.. lots of brands with different sizes available..

wow dude, i havent known that theres notebook sleeves before until you mention it, and your right, maybe i dont have to get a new back pack anymore, i'll just get a notebook sleeve, thanks
