    So basically as the title suggests, I'm looking for a good sleeve for my T61 14.1" with a 6-cell battery which slightly protrudes form the back. I'd rather something that is up to $40 and will actually protect my notebook.

    Anybody have any good experience or know what'll fit? Thanks in advance =)

    I've always been impressed by Waterfield www.sfbags.com. Good quality and protection. You want the SleeveCase. They have a very clear sizing chart with all ThinkPad models. Comes in around your $40 budget.

    Wow I'm very impressed by waterfield myself. Have you used any of their products? The SleeveCase looks perfect for my needs, and I'd look into getting one of their Cargo bags later on when I get financial aid money. Really nice stuff!
