    Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for a sleeve that is protective but not particularly bulky.

    The e6400 has a dell accessory that fits the 9-cell battery perfectly.

    The Dell 14" sleeve is very nice, fits the 6-cell and would probably do the 9-cell, not bulky, fluffy lining, and good protection. And there seems to be many other such products on the market.

    The dell sleeve does have a nice fluffy lining and offers pretty good protection. However, I feel it is too big if you have the 6 cell battery. My computer slides around in mine and now with the extra bulk it is a very tight fit in the laptop compartment in my backpack. There's one user review on the dell website that claims it fit an HP dv5000 computer - I would definitely believe that.

    I use the one from XPS M1330. Fits perfectly with the 6 cell.

    Does anyone know of any other sleeves that's not from Dell that will fit a E6400 with the 9 cell?

    I was looking at this one from Case Logic...http://www.caselogic.com/14_1_laptop_sleeve/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=120365 but according to the maximum laptop dimensions it holds, the battery sticks out about half an inch more than it recommends.

    I'd rather not have a sleeve too big that it causes the laptop to slide around all the time. If anyone could post some pix that would be great also..

    There surely is enough space for a 9 cell battery.

    $5 w/ free shipping is a really good deal...but you get what you pay for. I bought a USB charger from Deal Extreme; pretty reliable but shipping is from Hong Kong so it took a while.

    I think I'll get the Dell sleeve instead of the Case Logic one, I'd rather be sure it fits with a 9 cell then be disappointed later.
