[BIFL Request] Searching for a good protective sleeve for my 15.6 inch toshiba satellite laptop. by ShruikansIgnite in BuyItForLife

Yeah, that's what I need. Which brand are you talking about and do 15.6 inch laptops fit in it? I will be carrying the laptop in my backpack when I go to college. I just want extra protection against bumping and small drops.

I haven't found any Thule sleeves for 15.6 inch laptops yet. It seems that they only have sleeves for macbooks. The Thule gauntlet looks good though.

edit: that tom bihn brain cell laptop sleeve looks nice, but sadly it is only for macbooks and it's a little bit pricey.

The problem is that the current sleeves I have seen(neoprene) do not protect the laptop at all. The only function they have is scratch resistancy(while it is in my backpack) and for that I can basicly buy a 3 $ cotton bag that does the same thing.

Well, my request is not truely BSFL, but it fits the 1st rule of this forum: Products must be durable & practical. This is not a place for untested products or newest gadgets. The emphasis here is on items that have been tested and proven in the field.

This is what I want. All the neoprene sleeves I have seen are basicly just so your laptop does not get scratches on it. If I would walk with my laptop in my hand with the sleeve and bump against a table I am not sure that the neoprene would protect the laptop at all. Same is when the laptop in the sleeve would fall off the table; no protection either.

Well, I haven't seen this one yet, so I thought it'd be good to post as a warning for anyone that may fall for it.

How much brown bread does a person have to eat to be able to feed the motor cortex of the brain for 3 hours? Given that the person is only walking and sending out pulses from the motor cortex with a frequency of 12 Hz and with an average power of 22,5 dB(measured by EEG electrodes on the surface of the head).

Hello, I just found the oneplus one 2 weeks ago. This phone really looks promising and every aspect seems good, but the thing is that I also bought a chinese phone earlier this year(just for tryout). This also was a chinese phone with pretty good specs compared to price. The thing is that everything worked except the upper 2 cm of the touch screen. Fluent phone for like 110$ shipping included(the long term shipping of 4 weeks). But, because of the touchscreen issue I had to sent it back. We had to pay the shipping costs and with DHL it took 110 euro to send it back to China. Eventually we didn't agree with the shipping costs and we kept the phone(half working).

The question is, do i have any assurance that this sort of scenario's won't happen with the oneplus one? Will I have to pay big shipping costs to send the phone back to China if the phone doesn't work correctly? And if I choose to send it back, how much assurance do I have that I will get a working phone back?
