    Haven't seen a thread on this yet so I'll get it started. Does anyone know about good X220 6 cell sleeves? Preferably thinner to throw into a padded messenger bag.

    The ones I have seen so far seem too large, and do not seem to be very suited. I unfortunately bought the Lenovo sleeve which isn't much use to me because it is much too large for the X220 6 cell.

    Any suggestions would be great!

    Would that fit an X220 with a 9 cell battery? I assume yes since you're using an X220T which has slightly larger dimensions and a battery that sticks out with the 6 cell.

    Anybody ever find a snug fit sleeve for the 6-cell?

    Nope. Still looking for one.... Ones that seem to fit alright (a little loose still) are the macbook specific sleeves.

    Personally I'm just looking for a thin sleeve that fits nicely.

    IT is a little price. I'm trying to find one cheaper before jumping on the WF sleeve.

    I went to BestBuy (in Canada) to try out a bunch of sleeves. Built NY's "12-13" line is a decent fit -- snug fit along width of the laptop and only 0.5 inch extra along length.

    Reviving an old thread. I found a sleeve with a perfect fit.

    Neoprene Sleeve For MacBook Air 13" by Incase

    It is a little tight, but hopefully neoprene will stretch over time. It fits perfectly with no wiggle room (slightly too perfect) meaning that it is a little tight. But it should stretch with use.

    I picked it up for 10 bucks at marshalls so its a perfect price tag.
