I’ve been using this case from CasePC (www.case-pc.com) since the summer and like it a lot. I had been using a Booq Vyper for the last year or so, but was not really happy with it. The Vyper looks stylish and cool, but it’s nothing more than a semi-rigid shell. I checked out a co-worker’s Sumdex sleeve. It was nicely padded, but bulky. It also had a handle, which I did not want. I did some research and some folks recommended the CasePC. I checked out the website, and looked at the sizing chart for my laptop. I ordered an Extra Small with free shipping and received it two days later, coast-to-coast.
My IBM Thinkpad X40 with the extended-life 8-cell battery fits snugly in the case. This larger battery sticks out a little bit but the laptop still fits, so it looks like the sizing chart is generous, at least for my laptop. The interior seams are taped with nylon, and the padding feels thick and substantial. Access is via a simple flap opening with hook-and-loop closure. I don’t use the mesh pocket on the side, but my power adapter and cord fit fine. The case is sleek, but still feels robust. I throw the sleeve in my Eagle A-III (with ATS frame sheet) with my casebooks and statutes and feel that the laptop is well-protected.
