Neoprene Laptop Bag.

Step 8 Closing straps and fasteners

To clip it all together a couple of abandoned shopping carts donated their child restraint belts, appropriately in not-matching colors. Apparently its illegal to use parts from abandoned shopping carts.

If you don't have any abandoned shopping cart belts, you can get straps and closures at any fabric store. I made a neoprene case a few years back from stuff I got at the fabric store, it's been pretty funny how many people have asked me where I got what seems to me to be an obviously homemade case (same goes for my homemade neoprene ipod case, and homemade neoprene camera case).

Here in Seattle, we have a place called Seattle Fabrics. It's a place where you can get hard-core adventure fabrics, high dernier, ballistic-type stuff. Cordura, Gortex, etc.. they have webbing, outdoor threads, needles, connectors and fasteners. If you need to build a sail for your boat, or seat covers for the deck, yadda, yadda, yadda., they've gotcha covered. Perhaps there is something similar near where you are? I've gone to regular fabric stores, and the sweet lady behind the counter is always so sorry that she can't help me. They just don't have the beefy stuff. Check out www.seattlefabrics.com. Be careful, it's easy to get distracted by all the cool stuff!!! Oh, they have some great heat-sealable fabrics that you can do with an ordinary household iron, plus guides on how-to, for free with purchase. That's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, anyday!
