Hi,

Sadly I didn't get the carbon manfrotto tripod I had hoped for but I did 
get which more than made up for it a lovely handmade wooden briefcase 
(from the local handicapped market) with a nice leather trim inside. The 
problem is my laptop is too small and would bounce around inside it. I 
have a neoprene cover for the laptop but would like to fix it a little 
better. I have come up with two ideas so far, one is to use polystyrene 
or the precut foam you find in camera cases and cut out a cosy place for 
the laptop to sit in. The other option is to glue some Velcro strips to 
the leather inside the case  and then sew the other sticky side of the 
strips to the neoprene cover, but this is then a permanent fixture, 
although I guess I will always be carrying a laptop in it and could 
always Velcro any new neoprene cases.

As this problem is similar to carrying camera equipment I thought I 
would try here for further suggestions. Oh and where do you buy that 
semi cut foam you find in aluminium and pele cases.

Thanks Ian
