    Looking for a cheap protective sleeve for my x60. Which has a 12inch screen.

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Hey, I have bought a few from meritline.com, for my lappy & netbook..and they have worked out just fine...and were *inexpensive*.
    Here is a linky, with a few pages segregated to 11" to 14" Latop Sleeves": http://www.meritline.com/11-inch-to-14-inch-laptop-sleeve---c-8228.aspx
    Hope you can find something, that may work for you!

    What about amazon? Amazon usually has some good pricing on sleeves.

    Here is a page to amazon w/12" Sleeves:

    Use a bunch of kittens as padding :)

    My sister's kitties seem to like the warm harddrive.

    Sleeves and laptop cases are not something that I'd buy on line, because you really want yours to fit your laptop well and to meet your specific needs. No matter which sleeves sound great "on paper," your best bet is to go to Best Buy or some other store with a lot of choices, and actually take a look at them in person. I was amazed that what I thought I was interested in buying for my laptop was not nearly as good as some of the other models that were available to look at in the store, and I was so happy with the ability to see for myself how each feature looked and felt.
