    Hello guys,

    now I'm also a proud owner of a T440s. To protect the laptop during transportation, I would like to get a case or sleeve. Do you have any recommendations for a good one?

    Thank you very much!

    Greetings,
    Speedies

    The T440s' small bezels and thin build actually make it about the same size as most 13" laptops (ie: the non-retina MBP 13), so those cases may provide the best fit.

    I've been considering that sleeve. With the 3-cell battery, is there extra space in the sleeve for the laptop to slide around, or is it a close and tight fit? Thanks!

    It is a very tight fit, the T440s does not slide around in the sleeve (with 3 cell). Pictures:

    I bought a 14'' samsonite from Amazon, good sleeve but a bit big for the laptop, you may wanna consider a 13'' one.

    Oh, and one note I forgot to mention: I have the non-Touch version of the T440s, so I can´t comment on how the Touch version fits into the sleeve - that may be a bit difficult or it may still fit, I don´t know.

    The 14W Ultrabook Sleeve looks nice but I'd prefer a case/sleeve that would go all around the laptop since there still is an unprotected side with the 14W Sleeve.

    As an update, I ended up getting a Brenthaven Prostyle I 13.3" sleeve (designed for the MBP 13), which fits the T440s with touchscreen and 3-cell battery exactly. The fit is snug, and I don't believe a T440s with a 6-cell will fit (or if it will, it'll be very, very tight).

    The small pocket of the sleeve is perfect for storing my old-to-new Thinkpad charger convertor cable as well.

    Anyone recommend a good stylus for the touch model?
