Well this does not have a vertical slot but it is cheap and does fit it snugly which you can see verified in the reviews. Only one I've found so far that has been verified to fit with little to no extra room.

Neoprene is one of the most common types of sleeves, but the kind of impact your describing the "crumple zones" of a felt style one might be better. This kind leaves a lot of air and material around it that should help more: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P259LFS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have this one for the Surface Pro. Fits well, a little snug but it stretches a bit.

personally more a fan of the TomToc one (have purchased both, kept the TomToc). Would have kept the InCase ICON but it was a bit too pricey (~$90 CAD).
I got the baseline surface pro 4 when I got sick of lugging my 15" thinkpad workstation around after work and only planned on using mainly for office and browsing. Even with the core m processor and 4gb of ram it handles most of my daily computing needs like a champ. The only thing that I use on a regular basis that gives it a challenge is solidworks, but that is expected. I bought a good bluetooth mouse to use with it but surprisingly find it more enjoyable to use the pen, especially when on my lap, and rarely touch the mouse. In fact, using a touch screen with a pen on windows is way more enjoyable than i thought it would be and miss not having that combination when using my work computer. I got a sleeve for it because my normal laptop compartment in my bag was way too large and it would slide around and slam into the sides. The only problem I have had is after windows updates, there always seems to be a small bug with chrome but it seems to get fixed quickly or doesn't interfere with my work much. Overall though I am very happy with it and wish I could have gotten this a couple years ago when I was in school.
I like this for my SP3. Been with me all over the world on business trips.
