    I just received my CasePC Laptop Sleeve (Size Extra Small).
    Link to CasePC Homepage
    They have the sleeve for $25 with Free Shipping. It's a pretty good deal, but the best deal is at AcademicSuperStore for $18 with Free Shipping. They also have them at CompUSA online, but it's $25 with no free shipping. I ordered it from Acemedic Super Store and they shipped it out pretty fast. It ships from Texas.

    Initial Impressions:
    This is a good looking sleeve. Most sleeves are pretty plain, but this has nice grey/black contrast design, a nice mesh backing for CD's, etc.. and rubber side grips. I also wanted a vertical sleeve so that I could use it in my backpack and remove the notebook without taking the sleeve out (my maing complaint with most sleeves including Shinza dna Sumdex Impact Guard). I also like that it has a velcro rather than a zipper. It also comes with a lifetime warranty which is nice.

    The best part? The M1210 fits PERFECTLY! With the 6 cell battery, it's fits slightly loose...with the 9 cell battery, it fits slightly snug.

    Now on to the pics!

    It fits in my backpack "sleeve" perfectly adding more protection and padding.

    Awesome Review!!!! When you say the case is snug with a 9-cell battery, does it feel like its rubbing too much on the system when you insert it? Does it feel like the case is pushing in on the system?

    Is that a Tumi backpack? Looks nice.

    I just ordered a backpack of newegg a few days ago, should I also get a sleeve like you have there? Or is the backpack enough? The back pack is made for a 15.1 inch, looks like the one in your picture is too.

    Has anyone found a good sleeve for the Dell m1210 with a 9 cell battery? I chose to upgrade for the 9 cell instead of the standard 6, but this extra bulgy battery makes it impossible to fit in one 12.1" sleeve I already bought! If anyone has fit the m1210 with 9cell battery into a sleeve with a good fit (without forcing to make it fit) please let me know! I need a "snug" fit though. I think a neoprene case that gives a little would work. Has anyone tried the 13.3" sleeves for the ibook and such?

    The Case Logic sleeve ain't too bad. I got one but there's only enough room to put the Dell M1210 with a 9 cell battery. You will have to find some place else to put your adapter and mouse.
