I am thinking of getting a zeroshock because of its reputation and it doesn't add to much to the dimension. i'm using a 14" T42 with normal battery.
Rather than asking what's good about it. I want to ask what's bad about it and figure if I live with it or not.
Thanks!
flaw of the zeroshock???

Always, Always have a back up plan
Only things I can think of:
1) Fit is not tailor-made-snug. The 15" medium fits the 14" T42 just fine, with either battery, but you'll have some play, and can cram a bunch of other stuff in with it if you want.
2) By design, it's not the best sleeve for carrying the laptop around without a backpack - there are no handles (and the little loop that lets you carry/hang the sleeve looks incredibly inadequate). It's made solely to be a protective cocoon, which it does extremely well.
Other than that, it's great. I have both med and large sleeves and have used them for both the 14" and 15" T42s with normal and 9-cell batteries. My laptop is in the zeroshock 100% of the time when it's not in use, and I would definitely get a zeroshock again.
