Marware sleeves?

I'm looking for a sleeve for my 15" Al PB. My current bag is good but a little too bulky for everyday use when I do not need to carry a ton of accessories/devices. I was looking at the Marware Sportfolio line of sleeves as they seem fairly functional (limited but useful carrying capacity like papers/notebook, etc) yet still small and thin, while offering good protection for the laptop.

Does anyone have experiences with this case? I was also looking at their plain sleeves because they are even smaller yet but i think they would have limited usefulness since you can't carry anything else and also there is no handle.

I was also browsing that huge cases sticky and saw the Acme sleeves- which looked very attractive but were very pricey at about $100- 3 times the cost of the Marware. Are the Acme cases of very high quality?

the original marware sleeves are really just for people who are going to throw their laptop into another bag... i use the sleeve to protect my pb while it's in my backpack... it does its job (no scratches, dents, etc.), looks professional, and is of relatively high quality (esp considering price)... if you're looking to carry other stuff with your pb then you should look elsewhere...

My Sportfolio has kept my TiBook looking perfect for two years.
