My currently recieved slipcase is too big even though it was advertised as a perfect fit, made for the powerbook 12.

I am now looking at several bags including the Booq Powersleeve12. anyone have pics of interior, pockets?
Can someone give me a mini review (or a lengthy one, i love details) on how they like / dislike the bags, pro's cons etc. How bulky is it when laptop is in there? This will be going into a nother bag. Thanks again

pictures welcome, Thanks for all your help.

I had the 15" version, and liked it a lot.

It is not the one you are after, but if you would like some general comments on quality etc just let me know...

I have the 15" as well and I like it. Good quality. No problems. I'd recommend. Pretty minimal.

Basically wondering how well it's built, how much "wiggle room" it has. I basically would like something that ... well, if it doesnt move at all it's best. I have a crumpler School Hymn (just came in) and found out that it isnt as flush as the picture on their site would have you believe. The picture shows the edge of the laptop lined up with the side of the case. (The picture showed a small area of laptop/case, instead of the fit of the laptop inside the whole case. As a result, there's a good size gap, and if i put the laptop dead center, there's a good size gap in all directions. When i zip it up and walk around with it, if i make vigorous movements, i can feel the laptop sliding around inside (not a tiny slide, but it'll move like an inch i guess left to right, and half an inch front to back. I understand that a perfectly snug fit would make it hard to put into the zipcase without scuffing on the zipper, so i am currently looking at putting a very dense foam in a "ring" to line the laptop, so i can pop the laptop inside that "ring" and keep it from sliding around. I looked at the idea of picking up a Booq, and am still wondering. I just hate things that dont "fit like a glove". Booq emailed me telling me there is wiggle room, I'm just wondering how much. Also, does the flap pocket fit the square white ac adapter. I read that it may not. Sorry for making this a long and complicated post, i guess with a beautiful laptop, one gets carried away on cases.

Hi Lancer 409

There is a review and great pics of the Booq powersleeve 12 at this site: http://www.siliconpopculture.com/rev...ts/70_0_2_0_C/

Also at: http://www.mymac.com/showarticle.php?id=1709

I was thinking of getting one for my soon to be purchased powerbook 12. Hope this helps you make up your mind. FWIW I think they look great.

i dont have it..but have seen it in person and decided not to get it. it is pretty hefty/chunky if you ask me. it doesnt look to good and the quality of the inner lining is fair. i went w. a waterfield case instead because of the size and build quality.

i had the 12 with my 12" powerbook.

i loved it. the 12" powerbook was so snug in it, it did not move. the quality of the sleeve was excellent. it had a fold over flap at the top which was velcro and it had a handle on the top with two "hidden" clips on the side that you can clip in a shoulder strap. the sleeve has a zip compartment that you could put a few sheets of paper or something in. i have no idea how big it is, i never used it.

i had the sleeve inside a backpack.

i would recommend the sleeve. very nice.
