  Comments:
It appears that something reporting numbers back in 2011 was off, because comments are tied together with this and the xref'ed entry.

This seems to be the dominant form(confirming the n-grams, search Amazon and the の form won't appear hardly anywhere on a product listing).

Confirmed by twitter.
People who use の tend no not abbreviate other parts as well, such as...
シャーペンの芯のケース

Interesting

Is this [abbr] if it is the dominant form?    シャー芯ケース , or something even longer, would seem to be the etymological root.

Significantly less common than 芯のケース (with の), but this form is also found.
