PC accessory maker Belkin Corp. is getting more fashionista by the minute. The company sent me a couple of its new laptop sleeves to try out: One is made of mod-looking patterned neoprene, and the quilted sleeve is sized for for UMPCs (specifically the ASUS eee). I'm liking the idea of sleeves these days; since women's handbags are coming in huge sizes now, there's no reason to have to lug an extra laptop bag. Just slip your PC in a sleeve that fits into your purse.

The Pixelated Sleeve [corrected, thanks Jackie!] above comes in an interesting fractal-ish gray-and-lavender design, as well as several other colorways. It's pretty straightforward otherwise. One well-thought-out feature is its asymmetrical zipper, which makes it easy to pull your laptop out no matter how it may be packed into another bag.

The 7'' Laptop Quilted Carrying Case (picture after the jump) comes in great colors: Techno Blue, Plum Berry, and basic black. (One guy in my office thought it was a potholder, but all the women liked the look.) The zipper opens up on the short end of the sleeve; inside is a matching lining.

Both sleeves are durable, light, and stylish; each will list for $29.99. The Flora sleeve will be available at the end of October, and the UMPC cases will be in Target within a few weeks.
