Mem said:I've narrowed down my possible laptop cases to the Crumpler School Hymm 15" or the Booq Powersleeve14. I've been lucky enough to see pictures of both, with powerbooks in them, but I just can't seem to make a final decision. Ultimately, I would like to be able to throw it in a simple backpack like this Jansport Super Break But which ever I pick would have to have plenty of padding. ANy good or bad expereinces with either bag?
sorry mem, but still haven't received the school hymn so can't do that comparison for you (supply issues with crumpler i think - eta early august
but the booq is a very good sleeve, very well padded and offers a lot of protection. also has the two zipper compartments on the flap and at the back, good for cleaning cloths, a magazine or two, couple of cds.
one observation about the booq - it does not completely enclose the powerbook they same way the school hymn does. there is a tiny gap/space at the top of the sleeve where the flap folds over the main compartment. howeer i get the vague feeling that the booq is better padded than the crumpler, but can't yet confirm..!
