    My parents picked me up a pretty cool ..pouch sorta thing for my new x61 laptop. From Target! In canada, we don't have a cool store like target. we have walmart, and like..zellers, but they are really budget, and fail to provide cool stuff for cheap. like $17 2gb usb keys!

    Anyway, here's a link to a similar one... It's actually a portable dvd player case. http://www.target.com/gp/detail.htm...0/602-9852986-3960648?ie=UTF8&asin=B000I0VFWY

    although it's not the one i have. the one i have costs $9.99, with dimensions 12" X 9.5". same company (denali) though.

    The zipper won't quite close with the bigger battery extending out the back.. but if you have the battery that goes flush with the x61 it would fit like a glove.
    It's not amazing, but i refuse to pay over $30 USD to order a sleeve off the internet, and all i need it for is to just cover the body while it's inside my school bag, so closing isn't even neccessary.

    I don't Christiand is looking for a sleeve. It seems he is just informing about what kind of sleeve he got?

    In case he is, I wouldn't recommend the Booq Vyper series, apart from its looks. I have a Vyper XXS myself and it looks very good, but it is not protective/soft enough inside. My Elecom Zero Shock III does a much better job.

    You are right. it's not very soft.

    yea was just letting you know about a cheap $9.99 somewhat-of-a-sleeve that is probably within walking distance of a lot of your homes. In case there's anyone like me that doesn't want to pay $55+shipping online for something that you I possibly live without.
    Granted .., those booq things looks real nice and look like they offer some good protection.

    They increased the price...

    I paid 4.99 each for XXS and XS plus shipping (around 10).
