I'll get back to you, ASAP.

Currently constructing a model of it

edit: Well, after attempts at making a model, not to mention failed attempts, I'll just compare the size of the Sumdex sleeve I have, since it fits perfectly in the enclosure, with about, almost an 1.8 inchs showing form the top as seen here:



The dimensions are approximately 14.25" x 11.75" x 2.25" according to Sumdex's site.

those crumpler bags are pretty cool. that chicken tex crap is just marketing for cordura nylon. not all that impressed.

i just stumbled on this new laptop bag company, bumbakpaks. saw an ad in wired last week and now i see it in macworld. they look pretty legit. pretty cool carrying system. the straps remind me of a golf bag, but thank goodness they've got attached to a hip urban messenger bag. i bet it's super comfortable for carrying my heavy as all heck laptop. i bet it would be good for my books too.

downside is only 1 size for now so i don't think some of the older bigger laptops will fit, but the site says they'll be coming out with more.

those new bumbakpaks look interesting. does anyone know how effective their laptop protection is?

with the currently available size, it looks like a z70 would barely slip in. probably can't use a sleeve, huh?

Is there any difference between the Horseman and Very Busy Man?

I'm not sure, but I've seen some places say the Horseman is the 'replacement' of the Very Busy man. Best if you ask them if that is so.
