Stumbled on great bag for x6x tablet w 8-cell (Victorinox)

I know this has been done to death. I've tried two of the suggestions in previous threads (REI E-wrap, pretty good, but can't hold much more than the laptop and they don't make it anymore so ebay-only, I think; Lenovo's purpose-designed leather sleeve, I can see why it's useful but it doesn't serve well for my typical use and, again, no other capacity).
I ordered the Victorinox E-Motion 360 4.0 Day Bag for general-purpose use while noting that its interior dimensions were close to my x61t. The tablet with extended battery is almost square (so is the bag) and fits neatly (not too snug, little risk of zipper scratches) in the main compartment with a little space. With the exterior expansion zip open there is more room (maybe for a fleece pullover or a fat manila folder) in the main. The front organizer pocket has about the same capacity as the expanded main.
The bag has padding on the side that lies against your body but none on the bottom or front. If you have a sleeve for your x6* it should fit unless it's very fat.
The only downside is lack of an external cell phone pocket. Also, I can't for the life of me find the pull-out mesh water bottle pocket in the photos. Anyway, very pleased overall.
I got mine here: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,281 ... y-Bag.html (google for coupons before ordering from stp).
Victorinox site: http://www.victorinox.com/product/4/401/4507/30385503
Spec'd to 842 cubic inches (= 13.8 liters).
It only comes in red and black so it already matches your Thinkpad.
