Mobile Edge Alienware Neoprene Sleeve - M14x

The Alienware M14x is a pretty weirdly shaped computer. It's angled in such a way that the front lip and rear hinge jut out at hard angles, as opposed to most laptops which are more or less flat in the front and back. Because of the sharp edges, you need to make sure that it's padded properly when you put it in a bag--with all of the system's hefty weight concentrated on the hinge or lip, it would be very easy to damage. This sleeve was specifically designed to pad these "pressure" points, and it does a good job, for the most part.

First, the bad stuff. The zipper looks and feels really cheap. I'm not sure how long it's going to hold up, but it seems okay after a few weeks. Next, that plastic alien head looks really bad. Mine came with obvious flaws on the plastic and has sort of a cloudy look as a result. Somewhat disappointing that something which serves no functional purpose is also really ugly.

Now, the good stuff. There is a lot of padding on the inside for the sharply-angled regions of the laptop. There's also an inner lip that fits over the front of the laptop to prevent the zipper from damaging the glossy plastic. It's quite clear that this bag was designed specifically for the M14x, as it fits very snugly inside. The handles are very helpful for a laptop this heavy. There's a front pocket, but I'm not really sure what you could or would put in it.

Another reviewer rated this lower because the power adapter doesn't fit in the front pocket. I don't think that's a valid point. The M14x's power brick is huge and approaching the bulk of an XBOX 360 power adapter. This is a sleeve designed to protect the laptop when placed inside another bag, not to serve as a carry-all for the laptop and its accessories. Mobile Edge also makes a messenger style bag for the M14x which is actually designed to fit more accessories. But if you already have a laptop messenger bag, this sleeve is a really good way to add some extra protection to those angled portions of the M14x.

This is the worst fitting sleeve I have ever seen. It says designed specifically for the Alienware M14x. I do not see how this is possible. I felt like I was forcing my laptop into this tiny case. The corners were poking out and stretching the case. This looked like it was doing more harm then good.

Please see the pictures.

I returned this sleeve and bought the Incase 15" Neoprene Sleeve Case.

The Laptop FITS AMAZINGLY!

I was not sure about this case because of the other reviews, once i actually received the item I was impressed. It is a little tight on the computer but you can definitely tell that this case was specifically designed for the m14x. When you first open the case it has a flap that covers the front of the computer and this is very nice because it adds protection to the pointy edges. Would definitely recommend to other m14x owners.

The M14X fits snuggly in here but the design has a pretty big flaw. The charger for this lap top is rather large and though the charger does fit in the side pocket, it just barely fits and is a struggle to get it in and out. I would recommend this case for protection purposes but this may not be the best option for a travel case or something that will be used on the go

Anybody considering purchasing this should realize that it is a "sleeve" and not a "case". You are not going to store more than just the notebook computer itself and maybe your mobile device like an iPhone or Blackberry. It is great protection for when the computer is not in use or packed in a suitcase.

With that said. It is a fantastic sleeve. It looks great and provides excellent protection for my m14x when I take it out of the house for brief use (without a power supply) or when I put it away at night.
