Our friends over at Razer have been hard at work introducing a new product line called Razer Gear. Along with that product line you will find products ranging from T-Shirts to messenger bags. Today I am going to take a quick look at their 17 inch Laptop Sleeve to get an idea of what all of the fuss is about.

Performance

Without a 17 inch laptop I had to use my 14.1 inch to put this sleeve to the test. I noticed right away that the build quality included small details like the Razer logos on the tags and zipper. Even considering the smaller size of my laptop the case protected it from scratches and dings. The ballistic nylon held up the abuse that I was able to give it, I have no doubt that it will hold up over time.

Overall

Razer establish itself as a name brand in the gaming peripheral market with high quality products with a specific style. I have always been a fan of their packaging specifically with products like the destructor that came with its own case for transportation. It wasn't a far stretch for Razer to move from that to other "gear" like this laptop sleeve.  With this sleeve running at under 20 bucks it's a fairly good price to protect your high end gaming laptop. And for those long time Razer fans the new and upcoming Razer Gear will be required purchases.
