Q: I need help finding an affordable, yet eco-friendly and protective laptop sleeve for my 15" laptop. Everywhere I look, laptop sleeves cost at least $50. I would like less than that, possibly even less than $30!! Any suggestions?

An Eco-Friendly laptop sleeve? Wow. Just use an old shirt if your that worried about killing the earth.
Bumper sleeve from Built NY.
We got Tom Bihn "Cache" cases. Variety of sizes, good padding, US company, carbon neutral shipping and $30.
What I like the best about them is they don't use velcro or zippers - just a tucking flap. Would have preferred more color choices than gray, but I'm delighted so far.
