    Given how quickly the start looking secondhand when you actually subject it to everyday use that other, ultimately better non-Apple notebooks shrug off without major incident, I'd suggest nothing less than the Hardigg IM2370.

    The Zeroshock III 13" widescreen sleeve should fit, I believe. I have the 15" widescreen one for my T500 and it works great.

    That one looks pretty nice... I was looking around and I found the Booq Taipan skin, http://www.booqbags.com/Compact-Cases-Laptop-Sleeves/Taipan-skin-S-black, it looks pretty cool. Anyone ever use that one?
