Little Protection, Awkward Handle, Too Big for 15"

Verified Purchase:Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to like this sleeve, which I purchased for my new X1 Extreme Gen 3. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it to anyone, no matter which machine you have.
For one, this has no rigidity - it's just a thick cloth-like material. The edges have no rubber bumpers or other cushioning, and honestly I don't think this would make any difference if the laptop fell or had a hard bump on one of its corners. It's like a sweatshirt for your laptop, with zero protection value.
Second, the handle is positioned on the short side, rather than the long side. It makes it awkward to carry and feels more like a bag than a briefcase. It's understandable why the handle is where it is - the zipper runs along the long edge, but still, it just feels silly to carry around in this position.
Third, the zipper on the side of the case is really useless except for the very smallest of items - and by small I mean something like an SD card or a stick of gum. Given that this has zero rigidity, anything large that you put into this side zipper pocket is just going to be a pressure point if the sleeve falls with the laptop inside. You'd most likely end up trashing your LCD screen on your laptop if you tried keeping a pen, an ethernet dongle, or anything else with any thickness in this side pocket.
Fourth, I bought this for the X1 Extreme Gen 3, and there's about 3/4 inch extra space along the short edge. It's too big to "hug" the laptop, so it just feels awkward especially when carrying it by the handle and the laptop slips to the bottom of the sleeve.
Overall, the only application for which I would recommend this would be if you have a separate, larger bag that you keep your laptop in. In this case, this sleeve would protect your laptop from scratches/abrasion when slipping the laptop in and out of the larger bag. Other than that, this sleeve is really useless. Lenovo used to make semi-rigid, leather sleeves, but those seem to have been phased out in the past couple years in favor of this unfortunate thing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this laptop case. The front pouch for extra items and (especially) the carry handle on the end. It perfectly suits my needs for portability and to keep the charging cable & mouse with the laptop. Very happy with this purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice dense padding, but still slim enough to slide into the laptop pocket of my backpack. The handle feels sturdy and adds a nice touch. It's exactly what I was looking for!
