Case for X41

#1 Post by ThinkPad » Sat Feb 02, 2008 1:51 pm

What cases do you use for the X4x? I have been shopping around and see most of them are for 14" + LCDs, cant find smaller cases.

What is your choice of brand and case type? I love Tumi bags, but they mainly have messenger styles for 12" LCD models which I am not very fond of.

Sleeves are good for quick trips to the office etc. I just got a tablet sleeve from Lenovo, but doesnt have room for anything else.
If you find a good sleeve with a couple pockets do post up.

I use a sleeve from http://www.booqbags.com ... very durable, looks great too.

The one I use doesn't seem to be available anymore (fits a X40 with 8 cell batt perfectly, but nothing else), but the Viper XS2 (slightly larger) is designed for 13" machines.

Look at cases for the larger DVD players. I think the one I use is this one:

It fits nicely and has a decent amount of room behind where the X41 goes for things like a USB DVD drive and power supply. It is a snug fit on my X41 with standard battery so I doubt it would fit an X41T or an X41 with high capacity battery. But for a regular X41 it is great and a lot smaller than a normal laptop case.

I went shopping with an 8.5" X 11" piece of paper to check interior room since that is almost exactly the size of an X41.

I have decided on a small Ghurka messenger bag, that has a small laptop slot and fits the X41 perfectly. It also has a number of pockets which works out great for me.
