    So I needed a notebook sleeve to carry my new ThinkPad T43 in my backpack. Didn't want a notebook bag by itself. I heard mixed reviews about the MaxSleeve / Shinza. I decided itd be easier to get my notebook in/out of the Tom Bihn Soft Cell, but I was worried by the dimensions that it might move around.

    Well today I received my Soft Cell, and I'm happy to report that it fits perfectly. The Size 4 fits my 14.1" T43 snugly, but not so snug I have to force it in. Great design, nice looking. Its longer than the T43, but that's fine, as long as the width and thickness are right. Highly recommended!

    Yeah, I've got the same sleeve and it fits my V2000Z nicely, even with the 12 cell battery. Plus the sleeve fits perfectly into the padded pocket of my Victornix Oxford backpack. I highly recommend it as well... though I thought the $10 shipping (1lb with UPS 3 day) was a rip for a $30 product.
