Interesting Computer Info & Offers. Daily Updates!!

Well padded and looks sturdy (the zipper won’t break or come loose within the first couple of months). The wrist strap is quite convenient ’cause it protects the whole thing from falling if it slips off your hand while scurrying between meetings. The front pouch is another convenient feature to slip documents, CD’s, pen drives or the like for safe, easy-to-reach storage.

Although this is a very nice sleeve, keep in mind that it is not a case; it is intended to protect your equipment while you’re handling it from office to office or whatever, but it is not intended to replace a dedicated case. This one’s comfortably sized for netbooks like the Acer Aspire One, perfect and snug for some ultraportable notebooks and too small for the smaller tablet PC’s.

Another happy new owner of the Samsung NC10 netbook. The only half-significant gripe I have about this very nifty little “ultra-portable” is the more or less useless leather “case”—well, “envelope” would be a more accurate description—it came with: way too flimsy to do anything except protect against scratches.

So I figured that a more substantial sleeve would be a good investment, and chose this one in part because the Case Logic sleeve that Amazon carries was sold out at the time, and also because that CL sleeve has two rigid carrying handles which I would never use since I intend to carry my netbook in a normal backpack (a computer case is an invitation to get mugged, IMO) and they’d only take up more space.

This Mobile Edge case turned out to be quite nice. It’s fairly attractive; I am not crazy about the gray inverted trapezoidal logo on the back side, but that’s a minor quibble. It’s sturdy—well, at least so far, not sure how much abuse this 1/4-1/8″ thick neoprene can handle but will update this review if anything happens to it down the line—with good quality zippers, esp. appreciate the nylon zipper handles and having double zippers on the main compartment. That said, I would never claim that this sleeve is built like a tank…that’s why it’s a sleeve not a “case” I suppose.

And it’s more functional than I expected: I was skeptical at first, but happily found that the outer accessories pocket does fit both my AC adapter (had to use the velcro wire binder strip to keep the wires under control) and corded mini-mouse…these things give it a bulgy sort of appearance but oh well, that’s what you get with a softsided design. The neoprene does seem to expand quite a bit more than I expected, hopefully this elasticity does not come at the cost of durability, I’ll find out in a few months probably…would’ve preferred to have some sort of ballistic nylon on the outside or at least reinforcing the corners. The main compartment has about an extra 3/4 to 1″ extra space around my NC10, enough to keep it from joshing around too much, but hardly enough to cram any more accessories in there, other than something flat and thin like maybe a few CD/DVDs.

Oh and lastly there is a single nylon carrying strap on one end of this bag. I’m guessing its intended function is to make it easier for one to pull this sleeve out of a bag, rather than to dangle the entire weight of the bag from—I probably wouldn’t recommend doing the latter.

i bought this sleeve to accommodate my new 11.6″ acer notebook.

very happy with the quality of the materials. although not as protective as I expected it to be.

dropping your notebook when encased in the sleeve from a hight higher than 10cm will probably do the same damage with the sleeve as it will without it.

also not comfortable for carrying unless inside a bigger casebag.
