I have decided to make myself a fancy leather strap for my laptop case. It'll be tooling leather on top and lined on the bottom. I would like to flare out the strap and pad it underneath where it will rest my shoulder. Wondering what material I should use for the padding and where to find it? I was thinking foam of some kind?

I suppose I could live without the padding, but It would be more comfortable!

I have used 1/4 neoprene a few times and it works fine. On the bottom i would use a piecs of suede to keep it from slipping. You can get the neoprene on ebay. Look for neoprene sheets. I belive that whats i found it listed under.

I didn't even think of neoprene! That probably won't pack down like foam would. Thanks for the suggestion!

A patch for wet suit works well for this.

Buy enough for 2 and you will not have to go back a 2nd time.

Buy for only one and it seams something will go wrong.

Any how that how it works for me.
