    what type of case are you looking for? backpack style or a messenger style? do you need alot of protection or you want something that will allow easy transport?

    Hey if you are a girl I recommend Janine King Designs. http://www.etsy.com/

    they have a lot of very nice design for laptop sleeves. from 10''-17'' screensize. I just got one for my x61.

    Spire bags (though expensive) work really well for me. Doesn't look like a laptop bag either.

    I'm using a WaterField Designs SleeveCase for my X61 (tablet). They have custom-fit versions for the X60/X61 with the extended-life battery. Mine fits perfectly. WaterField Designs is a bit expensive but I have yet to see a company that produces better-made bag products.

    The perfect backpack for an ultraportable:

    http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/300/TB0151

    I have had one for the last year and I love it! It looks great and is just the right size for the X61(s) with the extended battery. It also has just the right amount of storage for other things: mobile phone, MP3, wallet, pen, water bottle. I can bring this *in addition to* carry-on luggage when flying since it is so small (kind of a man-purse). The material is very rugged and the bag still looks like new after having used it extensively for almost a year.

    There is no point in having an ultraportable notebook if your bag is enormous!

    I could take some pictures of my current setup if you're interested though.
