I'm looking for a very generic, basic, cheap laptop sleeve that opens from the side, so that when my laptop is in my backpack in the sleeve, I don't have to take the whole thing out just to get the sleeve off; ideally, the sleeve would remain in the backpack and the laptop would slide in and out vertically. It doesn't have to zip or close or anything. Any suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

It's definitely not cheap ($49 base), but Waterfield's Sleevecase can be configured in exactly the way you describe. I just got mine this week, for use in a backpack exactly as you describe.

Fits like a glove, extremely high quality, and highly recommended. The side pocket easily fits my iPad too =)
Have a look at the thread bobr linked above too - many fine options there.
