    I don't need leather or anything fancy, just a simple but durable carrying case for a 14" lenovo T60.

    Firstly, how much are you willing to pay?

    Secondly, did you ask before you did that Jamie?

    Im thinking about getting this case Here

    I dont know if I like this kind of case to carry for looks, but its the sheer strength of it that I like, almost looks as if it would stop a bullet.

    that looks like a good case actually. but i would be skeptical about how thick the sides are and how much padding there is between the sides and the notbook. it could be really light weight aluminum.

    I'll be buying the Targus CityGear Chicago case when my new Dell 6400 arrives later this week. 3.2 lbs, built in laptop sleeve, room for other stuff, and around $80 canadian. I think it's $60 or $70 american.

    i use a sumdex impactguard, and I like it.

    There are a lot of different types of cases, though; what do you want? A thin sleeve to stick in a backpack, a semi-protective case to carry the computer but not anything else, a case that has room for extra stuff, a bigger briefcase type that has room for a lot of other stuff, etc etc ?
