    Looking at sfbags' vast array of sizes (nearly each sleeve size is unique to one notebook), it's surprising this one has such an oversized fit. Surely this guy just got the wrong size for his notebook- or does anyone else's waterfield sleeve fit like that?

    I have three WaterField sleeves. They fit my notebooks a bit more snug than that. He probably ordered the wrong size. When you order the sleeve from WaterField, you can put in what notebook you have and they will personally check it to make sure you got the right size. This guy probably ordered the wrong size and didn't put in his notebook. Still, the sleeve looks like it is working out for him though.

    These are the best sleeves on the planet in my opinion . . . the quality is amazing. I highly recommend the sleeves + the company.

    Yeah figured it must be the wrong size. I've seen pics and reviews around nbr that looked snug, but thought it might vary depending on notebook and how well its corresponding waterfield sleeve size fits.

    (thanks chaz)

    I can get you pictures of my X61t in the sleeve if you want.

    Yeah cool link it up.

    Have you ever been able to fit a thinkpad power brick in the "back pocket" of the sleeve (not the piggy-bick). Could be an advantage of one fitting kind of loose like the photo above.

    Ah, I notice you can go through manufacturers individually to see what all fits your notebooks size to get an idea of the tolerances, and which end of the spectrum yours is. If you see your sleeve also fits a notebook with smaller dimensions, it'll be a little loose I guess.
