    Just picked up an E6400. Went from a D630 to T61 to X61 tablet to Vaio SZ and now to the E6400. Am looking for sleeve recommendations. Those that have an E6400 what brands/sizes are you using and how do you like your sleeve?

    I bought one of these Belkin sleeves. It fits OK but I'm not using it at the moment since my E6400 normally travels in a bigger bag (see third photo here).

    If you are just wanting dirt and scratch protection then look at the becase sleeves. I reviewed one here. They add very little to the thickness.

    Thanks for the recommendations thus far. I use a Victorinox soft briefcase. The laptop compartment doesn't offer any padding on the bottom, so I am looking for something that will add a bit of protection, but not too bulky so that it can be slipped into my brief.

    I would only recommend the Elecom Zeroshock III sleeve for anything really. On of the ceaper but by far the best protection you can get....besides a hard case ofcourse. Look them up on ebay and the review on NBR

    Has anyone purchased a Dell-branded sleeve for the new latitudes?

    Basically all neoprene sleeves suck. They'll prevent scratching maybe but don't absorb any shocks. Seriously...get an Elecom Zeroshock III....no i'm not selling those, just VERY happy with mine ;)
