Yes, but can it hold my bag 'o dehydrated brains to snack on?

I have a Lenovo X220. I need a laptop sleeve. What are the hivemind's favorite ones?
I have a Lenovo X220 for work and I want to be sure it stays in fairly nice condition, so I would like to get a simple sleeve for it. I don't want pockets, but I'm up for a funky design or whatever. Any of you out there have one you love, or at least have a brand you swear by?
Height 0.81 in
Width 8.26 in
Depth 11.6 in
Here's a few brands I've looked at
Manhattan Portage
Crumpler
Case Logic
Basically I'll be tossing this into my daily Timbuk2 messenger bag, but I want to be sure it's safe from other things in there and when I'm traveling.

Waterfield Bags SleeveCase. I've had 10+ of them for laptops and other devices, and they're great.

+1 on the WF SleeveCase. They're pricey compared to some other brands, but completely worth it, and they will fit your exact laptop model. They have dimensions and measurements for everything. Everything. The quality is superb, their stuff blows even Timbuk2 out of the water. Great service, too.

I have a BUILT laptop sleeve that I absolutely adore. I toss it into my schoolbag for travel to and from class everyday, and it has kept my Lenovo in perfect condition. They definitely have some funky designs and I got mine for a great deal on Ebay.

Looks like they're pretty much sold out until 2012, but the Boot from SpireUSA is pretty awesome (I own one for my work Lenovo and one for my personal MacBook Pro).
It technically has a pocket, but it's more of an afterthought for that one issue of People Magazine you bought on the way to the gate than anything else.

Response by poster: thanks for the votes for Waterfield bags. I had seen them before, but they looked to be bulky for my needs. However, I'm absolutely leaning towards them for my answer.
Sadly the Timbuk2 sleeve just doesn't speak to me. I love my messenger bag, but the Laptop Sleeve just doesn't look like it'd be at home in my bag.
