Made this from an old hooded sweatshirt
Full instructions can be found on the Instructable

I would have submitted to Threadbanger for the podcast but I have no video camera. so Instructables was the next best option.

For a 17in widescreen laptop there aren't many options as far a backpacks and laptop sleeves. (and the few option that do exists are extremely expensive or at the vary least more then I want to pay). So I recycled an old sweatshirt so I could keep my laptop in my regular backpack and not worry about it begin scratched up.
