Just bought ThinkPad Expander Carrying Case (model 73P3597) and though it is written on official site that it must be good for ThinkPad model NH365US (15.4" screen) - it is too small.
You must almost push notebook with force to place it in the bag.

I have the same "problem" with my brand new T61 and a previous laptop-bag that i had. Although it was stated to be able to curry a 15.4" notebook, i still have to press it to fit in the laptop compartment.
I tend to think that this is by design... -

I bought ThinkPad Expander, 'cause I wanted to have all IBM accessories:
DockStation, Mouse, Bag... -
I only had a similar case with a zipper slip-case I wanted for my 2nd notebook. It was also initially too tight for my notebook because it was NOT designed for widescreen. So, I finally bought the slip-case 1 size larger instead.
Just an honest speculation; your bag though stated as for 15.4" may not be meant for widescreen so it is too tight for your machine. I saw that advertisement print "... up to 15.4" wide"; but that " wide" is obviously not compatible with your " widescreen".
You do not need to agree with my point above. I already mentioned it is just an honest speculation.
Whatever the case be, you have valid ground to request for exchange for a bigger size, or a refund.

The Expander case works perfectly with my t60p widescreen even with sleeve ....weird

I guess you get what you pay for...

Strange.
My T61p fits perfectly into the Expander Carrying Case. It even has the 9 cell battery jutting out the back. -
well, I think I'll take some pictures of my laptop in this bag and post them tomorrow...

that sure does look like a tight fit. I would RMA it if I were you.

Wow that's like squeezing a size 10 foot into size 9 shoe. What the hell is wrong with lenovo?!
-
I also got stuck in this trap. Since the bag came right away and the WUXGA screen was back ordered. When the laptop came, I'd had the bag for > 3weeks so Lenovo wouldn't take a return. Nice way to treat a business customer and someone who has a sizeable IT budget every year Lenovo! I guess my dell rep is getting a bigger bonus this year. ;-)
Still looking for a bag/briefcase if anyone has suggestions. Don't need fancy or huge, but do need to carry cables, mouse, etc + it needs to also hold brief case items for flights files, mags, book or two.
