I wanted a case for a new 11.6-Inch Acer Inspire that I carry around with me. I could not find exactly what I was looking for [no handles, extra pocket for accessories] in the 11.6-Inch sizes, so I went with this one. It is attractive, looks much like its pictures, accommodates the laptop with room to spare but not so much that it is swimming in there, and seems to offer adequate protection for my purposes. It is a soft case and has some padding, but would not do much to protect the machine if it were dropped, which is what I expected. The case smelled powerfully of noxious chemicals when it arrived. The smell is dissipating over time but was so bad the first couple of days I did not use it because it would have been going into closed spaces shared by other people. The only other issue, and I think I'd have this with any similar case, is that using the external pocket for things like a mouse and power cord creates bulges that are unattractive and uncomfortable when I'm carrying it. The pocket works well, though, for things like a pen, small notebook [I'm still attached to writing notes by hand] & business cards...or my iPhone if I want to carry it but not on my person.

None of the reviews mentioned if this would fit the Lenovo ThinkPad Twist S230u so I bit the bullet, and ordered it anyway. If you are wondering if this fits, let me assure you that it does. It is nicely constructed and seems to be durable. The pouch has decent room for pens, small notepads, earbuds. There's even for the power adapter, but since it is a sleeve, you will have a bulge. Yes...it has the new neoprene scent, but I don't find it strong as others have said, and I know that it will disapate.

This rooCase did not fit my Lenovo X220T with a 6-cell battery attached; I couldn't even zip it closed. And even without a battery, I could barely zip it closed! I would NOT buy this case for a 12-inch PC let alone for a 12.5-inch. The above picture in which an AC adapter sits in the outside pocket is misleading: not only couldn't I comfortably place the AC adapter in the pocket while the laptop was inside the sleeve -everything was stretched too taut -but the battery alone also did not fit.

The fact that the sleeve is sold specifically for a Lenovo X220i as opposed to any other kind of X220 should not have made a difference since all the X220s, regardless of the end letter, are the same size, 12.5-inch -at least this is true of the X220s manufactured in the last few years. Elsewhere on Amazon, rooCase is advertising a sleeve with the exact dimensions and appearance (but different product number) specifically for an X220, no end letter. The company really needs to straighten out the confusion: Why do these X220s need different rooCase sleeves when both they and the sleeves are unvaried in size and don't fit each other anyway!!!

I gave it three stars because it's a nice neoprene case for a 10 or 11-inch netbook, but not for any of the X220s for which it's advertised.

Adding on information six months later: I am now using this sleeve for a Thinkpad X131, which is 11.6 inches, and it fits beautifully.

Not a whole lot to say. Yes, it did smell a bit, but that is common with new neoprene. Seems to be exactly as advertised. I bought it for a Lenovo ThinkPad Twist, which is not what it claims to fit. It just BARELY fits the Twist... I am not sure I would recommend it for the Twist, since it requires a bit too much effort to get it in and out. Construction seems fine.

This sleeve is light and flexible. I feel confident that my computer is well protected and it trim so it fits anywhere. I would recommend this product.
