    Hi guys:

    After reading the various threads here, it appears that the two sleeves above are quite small, light, and popular among the posters. Can anyone provide hands-on opinion comparing the two sleeves for the Z?

    Any photos of your Z with either of these cases would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    ktc

    Yeah. I guess for a lot of people a sleeve is a sleeve, and even if people aren't fully happy with it they'll probably keep it unless they actually dislike it.

    I use the SF waterfield sleeve and I like it. It's a great fit and offers some protection without too much bulk.

    Have you heard of the ZeroShock IV case? Supposedly it's more robust and protects more (but it's slightly thicker). I myself have a ZeroShock III case and it works well, i've never dropped my Z so i wouldnt be able to tell you if the case protected it or not, but i do put my Z in it's case and then into my backpack which does i guess take a bit of a beating.

    I've used a Zeroshock III for years with a Dell XPS M1210. And now I use it with the Z1--it works as expected. The best part is that it's slim enough to act as an insert to a regular shoulder bag.
