    ZEROSHOCK III LAPTOP SLEEVE LENOVO THINKPAD X220 TABLET | eBay

    Just got my X220T and looking for a good sleeve...people seem to recommend the zeroshock case over in accessories, but I was wondering how well does it keep the X220 models snug, especially since I have the 6 cell battery which protrudes.

    The dimensions for the X220T read 12.0" x 9" x 1.1-1.23"

    The zeroshock has W12.4 x D1.6 x H9.3 inch

    The biggest difference is with the depth, I am assuming the zeroshock is thicker cause of the padding?

    That looks pretty nice...I like the fact that you can open it wider, hence easier to place inside and take out. I'm using my brother's macbook pro sleeve right now and its cumbersome when the zipper is limited. Anyways I know this isn't the answer your looking for but I'm interested as well, tell me how it turns out (if ever you decide to get it)

    The Zeroshock III is a nice and very solidly-built case, but do note that especially if the fit is snug, the bumpy texture on the inside of the sleeve does leave faint impressions on the rubberized texture of the Thinkpad top casing. Usually these can be wiped out, but it takes a while. Also, the Zeroshock III is relatively pricey for what you get: I would suggest getting a cheaper neoprene sleeve that's soft on the inside to prevent any markings.

    I have a Zeroshock III for my T500, so this is from personal experience ;)

    Material-wise, Zeroshock is top notch. It made of a very dense foam that absorb shock extremely well (hence the name). It's unlike any other cheap "foam" sleeve most retailers sell. I have been using them on my X61 and X200. That being said, after 3 years of using them... I'm kind of tired of its look and kind of wish that they had updated their design (just how it looks, the material is perfect).

    i have this case for my X200 and X201t, they are good for shock absorption, but it is slightly bulky as an actual sleeve to fit into a small laptop bag.
