I use the CaseLogic 12" Netbook Attaché and the x220 fits like a glove, with room in the side pouches for a charger and various other items:

Would it fit a machine with the 9-cell extended battery? Thanks!

I'm not sure, John. There is one inch of space between the top of the machine and the zipper, though.

I think that should do it. I've ordered one to find out for sure. Thanks.

With the 9 cell, my X220 fits snugly in a Builty NY Byo 12 inch case. Stretches the sides just enough to keep it from shifting inside the case, I love it.

I've had it for my T61.  I'm going to get it for my x220 that I have received today.  Superior material & quality.  Custom snug fit for your laptop.  A little pricey, but totally worth it for such an expensive laptop.  Check it out!  :]

I can only second that. Great quality for everything they provide. The only grieve I have is that my X220 6-cell doesn't have is not wide enough, so adding an A4 magazine on the outside of the snug fit vertical sleeve (there is a pouch for that) is realy hard to do. X220 9-cell won't have that problem. Also the extremely grippy rubber feet of my X220 require me to push it into the sleeve. My Dell D430 that I had before just slid in by its own weight. All of this is hardly the sleeves fault though. I'll keep coming back to them.

I just received my Case Logic 12" Netbook Attaché, and I'm not terribly impressed:

PRO

 * X220 fits nicely with extended battery

 * Cheap

CON

 * Cheap construction

 * Not much protection

 * Hokey dual-purpose strap/handle, no shoulder pad

 * Back pocket has no closure

 * Front pocket too small for my essential items

I'm sticking with the Ativa Mobil-IT from Office Depot. [sigh]

I'm real sorry to hear that, John. Hope you can send it back for a refund.  .

I have got this : http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-10-Inch-Notebook-Messenger-Cabernet/dp/B0027IS474/ref=sr_1_2?s=electron...

This is the perfect size (for the 6cell).

Maybe a bit bulky vs a sleeve but good protection and a lot of space

(note the shoulder strap is black on the 10-12" model, not red)

Can make you a picture if you want

Can't expect too much as its only US$9.

Cheers!
