Replacement side case to store laptop.

[Stoodo]

Can anyone recommend a side case replacement that will hold a 15" Laptop. On the OEM case my laptop fits, but I have to put it in at a weird angle.

Thanks!

No, and don't bother buying a smaller laptop. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, makes a case to fit the smaller laptops like a Dell D410.

Put the laptop in your top case or in a backpack. Anything else must be a custome-made solution. Hmmm... guess I better get busy!

Buy a top case and just use it, removing side cases unless you want to keep them all on.

I find that a laptop fits better in the top case and will have better shock protection in the top case

I have a givi 52 and it would fit fine

And if you're not a traditional or Givi topcase person, there is the alternate Pelican Case install

I like! Would you be willing to sell a set of mounting parts?

I'd be interested!

Unlike Skyway and some other real metal folks I made mine through a very painful process involving a jig saw, several broken blades, and gumming up my grinding wheel with aluminum schmutz. The product works for me, but you would not be impressed if I shot a close-up of the parts.

My best advise is to check inside that link....and there's another link to where I picked up the project from. On my '05 the two retangular pieces were actually the easiest to make with a jigsaw and metal blade. The round piece took a hole saw and drill press to get right.

If you have questions feel free to PM and I can shoot closer shots of my version of the fabrication with my spiffy new E-500.
