Mine's just black wetsuit material with a thin plastic window on the top to match the curves of my Pismo (and you can see the white Apple logo). The entire thing is zippered on 3 edges, and has elastic straps that hook onto the corners of a laptop such that you can open and use a laptop without taking off the "bag".
I have to vouch for this setup. I carry my Pismo in backpacks, in motorcycle hardbags, and in the handlebar-mounted basket of my bicycle. The cover is just thick enough that it's more like a sleeve. I can stuff one or two small items (like a power supply) inbetween the laptop and the sleeve if I need to. Probably the best thing about the "wetsuit" containers is that they become part of your laptop. If I'm on the road, in a coffee shop, or at a friend's house, I just zip open the sleeve and go to work. When I'm done, the entire ensemble is barely bigger than just the laptop, so I *can* stuff it into a backpack, under a car seat, or on a book shelf. Finally, I don't have to worry about all the crap that accumulates in the bottom of my backpack/car floor/living-room somehow seeping into my pismo. Stay tuned for future product endorsements!
