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

[gincentive]

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).

Spec'd to 842 cubic inches (= 13.8 liters).

It only comes in red and black so it already matches your Thinkpad.

Think you could modify the subject to include the word "tablet", which differs from non-tablets being a square and have a higher difficulty in finding a case.

It only comes in red and black so it already matches your Thinkpad.

Both the sites say it also comes in black/black...?

Cheers.

Edited subject, thanks.

Sorry for the ambiguity. I might have written "it only comes in red/black and black/black".

The black/black sku at Victorinox is 30385501; red/black is 30385503.

I'm seeing both colors in stock at Sierra Trading Post, now on sale for $37.50.

whoa 38 dollars for a Victorinox bag that is pretty cheap.
