yes, i have both vasola and sumdex....instead of having one layer, now i have two layer of protection and i feel pretty good about this.

The price is pretty cheap...17 for sumdex and 15 for vasola...add around 10 for total shipping..

it's still cheaper than the waterfield and it suits my need well.

radtechz is very useful...if you put your laptop inside your bookbag like i do, then after you take it out, you will see the keyboard print on the radtechz...imaging what happen to your screen if there is no radtechz there.

also, with a radtechs nearby, it's easy to clean anything, specially i have a watery palm so i can clean my tp as often as i like.

Thanks for the review.

Regarding the Vasola, how tight is the fit? Does the sleeve stretch a bit? I'm interested in hearing if it might fit at 15", but it looks a bit tight with the 14" already.

Also, what is the feel of the inside? I know a few sleeves will start to rub off the matte coating on the edges and corners of the LCD cover, especially if the fit is tight and the inner sleeve material is of a rougher fabric.

i do worry about the tight fit too but after one week of use...i don't see any problem....the sleeve only gets looser...not tighter in the future... the material is like a tight seal suit....you know the kind of material they use for the mouse pad? from the website's description: High-tech neoprene protects computer from shock, dust and scratches

The b5l is for 14"...if you want the 15", you should order the A4 model...same sleeve..just bigger...they have zipper style but i don't like it

the flap is extendable...so there is no problem with a 9-cell battery..
