Sleeve ideas for a T420s??

Hey all,

I'm looking to get a decent quality notebook sleeve for my T420s. I bought the 14" one from Lenovo yet of course it doesn't fit despite being listed under the accessories. Plus it is of awful quality anyways.

Anyone have any sleeves/cases they really like? There doesn't seem to be a large amount of 14.1" sleeves on the market today.

Thanks!

 

Is the Lenovo sleeve too big or too small? Older sleeves tend to be a squarer shape more appropriate to 16:10 displays (or current notebooks with an extended battery protruding at the back). You need to note the dimensions of your T420s and then search for sleeves suitable for those dimensions. I found something suitable for my T420s in a sale. I think it was labelled as a 13" sleeve but is just big enough.

i'm using Zeroshock III for my t420s. it's a bit bigger than the depth of the laptop, but it doesn't move around and provides decent protection against bumps. also a bit bulky and makes the laptop look like a 15", trade-off for protection i guess

 

I use the case logic below and it is a perfectly snug fit on the T400s.

For comparison here are the dimensions for each

T420s 13.5" x 9.1" x 0.95-1.05"
T400s 13.27 x 9.49 x 0.83"

My laptop fits pretty snugly but the inside is foam padded and would adjust to the small changes in dimensions I think.

 

The sleeve seems to be meant for a 14" 16:10 computer due to it being to squarish and not wide enough for my T420s. Only would lenovo still include that in the accessories for T420s, I apparently should have checked the dimensions.

I'll take a look at your guys' suggestions. Thanks

 

I believe that sleeves would just make the corners of the lid wear out more quickly...

 

They do. If it's a snug fit, the corners on the soft touch rubber will eventually wear away. Character building
