    For those of you who chose to buy a sleeve for your TZ, which one did you get?

    I am in the process of finding one and at the moment I am thinking about one of the following:

    1) VGP-CKTX1 (originally made for the TX)

    2) VGP-CKTZ1/H

    3) Zero Shock 11" sleeve

    If you have any other good suggestions feel free to suggest away. Regardless of brand, the design needs to be simple/stylish and just as important, the fit needs to be as tight as the ones above.

    I struggle to make up my mind. I have looked through the very extensive list of laptop-bag makers in the accessories section, and couldn't find much that would fit snuggly around a 11.1 inch notebook. Also the supplier needs to be able to do international shipping as I am seldomly in the US.

    Thanks jc4ho. I actually considered this and now regret I didn't order it when I ordered the TZ via PriceJapan. The prices of accessories in Japan are ridiculously low compared to so many other markets.

    In any case, I tried to buy one here in Bangkok where I am staying at the moment. But none of the Sony Style outlets carry them. Unfortunately I cannot just order it via another country's online Sony Style store and have it shipped to Bangkok. And unfortunately, for once, I am not going on any trips to other countries the next few months.

    I actually got this a few weeks before I got my TZ. the fit isn't 100%. Length and thickness is perfect for a TZ with medium battery. the width is just 1 inch longer than the TZ.

    I have a booq boa and the quality is top notch, and the quality of the vyper is also up there. it has a soft felt on the inside and a somewhat hardshell on the outside. I got mine for $5 during close out which is a steal considering msrp is $40 something. right now its $10 which is still a steal.
