Thanks for both responses, but I think you misunderstood my question. I know that a case doesn't really help the unit from getting hot, what I really wanted to know is does the case help you hold it when it is hot or can you feel the heat through the material.
I usually have to put a magazine under the unit when I am using it in my lap in either slate or convertible mode. I am hoping the case will make it possible to use it in my lap without the magazine.

another opinion:
speedswitch is one of the very first programs i install with any notebook that i own and it gets the job done nicely.
however, after a month of ownership, i noticed that the heat can still get uncomfortable on the P1510D. the answer: undervolting.
here's a very nice writeup. notebook/centrino hardware control is another well-written program that lets you change voltages (at every multiplier setting) on-the-fly.
since installing it 3 days ago, i've noticed that it takes longer to heat up...meaning that it still does, but the buildup is more gradual (a result of lower power consumption and voltage).
like the OP said, battery life is of lesser concern if you are using the 6-cell (i gain about 30min from undervolting). the biggest benefit is less heat.
give it a try, i highly recommend it.
