yeah that's the only place i've seen them. They come from hong kong. I am still looking for any socks out there. I see them for ipods but not for notebooks.

ill make my girlfriend knit some of those suckers up :)

i like them but i think that they would have the ability to pick up stuff that can scratch and would, in essence, scratch your 'book while putting it in

I thought about that we will see. I think any sleeve could do that. Neoprene would probably be the least likely. But who knows I guess we'll see.

I still want one, theres a compartment in my bag that my 12" iBook fits perfectly in but theres a bloody zip in there that will easily scratch up my 'book, those socks are exactly what I want to protect it.

ibook socks

Well i bought mine from ebay. and they turned out fine. They look cool but it just comes to the rim of the laptop so it leaves one side exposed. it's not really that big of a deal but kind of annoying. It's kind of tough to carry around because the sock slides around. overall it is a good sleeve to put it in and then put it in a bag.

Hrm, I'm not sure if I'll need one of those for the bag I'm looking at or not. I hate searching around so I just decided to go with the Fusion 12 from apples site (getting it 3rd party though)

Does anyone have one of these bags and have any problems?

Most likely if you left the iBook powered on.

Do you think you'd get heat issues with an iBook on standby? One of those socks would be perfect for my bag.

once it goes to sleep and the fans turn off heat should not be an issue...to restate, i would not put my 'book in a sock or anything else for that matter without waiting for the fan to turn off.

I guess as long as you're aware of the fact that it could overheat, you'll take more care to prevent it. I may well get one, I doubt overheating will be an issue for me anyway with English weather!
