    I'm trying to see what everyone else uses for their thinkpad.

    I want to get a case and I'm probably thinking about getting one from sfbags.com. I just bought a Radtech microfiber cloth/cleaner and I use the Oakley Icon 2.0 as my bag. What do you guys use?

    I have the black thinkpad nylon carrying bag, but it looks dorky and i dont use it much.

    I just toss my 14" thinkpads into my knapsack or lesportsac (i am female), i am not gentle with it but I've never had a problem except a hard drive crash but that was when i got pissed at something personal & pounded the keyboard with all my might (the HD was replaced by warranty hehehe)

    I have a leather Dell laptop bag. It looks very nice and cost $20 on Ebay. It's the only nice product DELL makes these days.

    The Jansport Data File messenger bag. discontinued black color.

    My favorite notebook accessory for my T43, I have been using it everyday for the past 2 years. I'd unreservedly reccommend it to anyone

    I use a Tumi Gen4.4 ballistic nylon shoulder bag. Ive been using it for about a year and it still looks nice and feels sturdy.

    Only downside is that the bag is somewhat heavier than others.

    Tom Bihn Soft Cell sleeve, throw it into a huge black Jansport, very basic looking bag but it gets the job done.

    I just ordered the T60, but I'm looking at one of these:
    I'll probably just grab some fabric and velcro to make a sleeve.

    Yes, I'm a long haired, sandle wearing linux geek :rolleyes:

    I use a bitolithic sleeve when i just want to protect from scratches, and a pinder sleeve when I want more protection (and a handle or accessory pouch). I had a sumdex impactguard sleeve, but I gave it to my girlfriend to use with her T60.

    I was wondering if anyone was using a simple notebook sleeve for their thinkpad. I have been using my twin's 15" targus notebook sleeve (which he bought at bestbuy for $10) for the past week, but its a little large for my thinkpad. any suggestions? --> does targus make a 14" notebook sleeve?

    Thanks,
