    I just bought an HP tm2t last night (12.1" diagonal). Dimensions are 11.9 in (L)x8.7 in (W) x 1.03 in (min H) / 1.55 in (max H).

    What's the best 12.1 inch case you can recommend? I'm looking for something sleek/understated/elegant so neutral colors would work best. Nothing too bulky too since I'm only 5 ft tall. Also, not sure yet if I want a case or bag, and what material (neoprene, etc.)

    Thanks!

    I like the first one you presented. :)

    And, if you order it from amazon.com and sign up for Amazon Prime (you get one month free, I believe). You can have it shipped to you 2nd day shipping free, and pay only $18.41 (a bit less then the $24.99) :)

    Amazon LINK

    Also, check ebags.. LINK

    Do you want a "sleeve" (no handles, more to protect).
    Or a Case/"Sleeve" with handles (some w/straps)..like the first (Case/Logic)

    I like the Neoprene ones, for me they provide what feels like good protection.

    Meritline, makes some good priced sleeves, cases ~ without having to spend $$, I have purchased a few from there.

    Here is one in black a Sleeve for $5.69, Free Shipping..fit's up to 12.4" NBook Sleeve.. LINK

    Here is a page segregated for 11" to 14" sleeves for yah:

    Hope that helps! ;)

    What do you think of THIS for your lappy's sleeve? The inside dimenision is 11.6..fit's up to 12" $5.49!! Shockproof, and zippers "all around"...These types of sleeves, I like!

    Or, Mobile Edge MESSU1-10 10/11.6-Inch Ultraportable Neoprene Sleeves for Netbooks (Black) $16.99 @amazon

    Or, Case Logic LNEO-10 Ultraportable Neoprene Notebook Sleeve (Black) - $16.03 @amazon

    (sign up for Prime, get one month free of 2nd Day shipping w/Prime acct.) ;)

    I'm not sure, are you looking for a Case, also?

    Let me know, and hope that helped you a bit! : )

    If you will always put your laptop in another bag, I'd get a normal sleeve. If not, I would highly recommend getting one with handles. It's a pain to carry a machine in just a sleeve, speaking from experience ;)

    I use the Maspedition Last Resort Attache case. It is Camo and looks and works great. Heavy duty canvas yet light weight. It fits my 11" 1410 Acer and has room for lots of other things if I need it. It is the perfect masculine laptop bag.

    Yep! a 13.3" sleeve with some room to pad it would make a perfect 12.1" case ;)

    cheers ...
