Re: [Thinkpad] X Series Port Folio case at PC Connection

I've used the Silicon Sports/Kensington "Wetsuits" going back to the 510, later
with 560, 560Z and X22, have carried them around the world and can second the
"Pros", while being unable to second the "Cons".

I find the Wetsuits to provide adequate protection and have not found any
heat-related issues. It's also an easy case to deal with, now that TSA
requires "free briefcase and laptop dumps with every ticket purchase".
