Hey, i'm curious if you guys have any idea which one of these are the "real" IBM sleeves.

Ebay Link

I wanna get one for a lil more protection while in my bag and are there any nice light (rules out leather ones) Thinkpad bags to get to carry this thing? I would hate to have a nice light laptop and get a huge bag for it.

Hi SHoTTa35, I don't think IBM has ever produced a sleeve for ThinkPads.. only bags.

In case you might want the recommendation for a good protective sleeve case, here's the link.

I have one for my T43 and I absolutely like it. However it doesn't have an IBM logo on it.

I don't know about eBay but have you seen this in the Marketplace? It seems it should fit your sig machine, if that's the one you want to protect.

I also don't know about branded ThinkPad bags but I use this bag by Targus for my 14.1" R52 (but without a separate sleeve). It's light (neoprene) and not too big. Available at Best Buy, Circ. City, Office Depot, etc. Hope this helps.
