Netbook case

For those of you with the larger 6-cell batteries....which case are you using. I ordered http://www.amazon.com/Kroo-11334-Re...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1235898994&sr=1-3 but with the larger battery unaccounted for, its just too small. Im looking for something thats as small as possible. Im a firm believer that a larger case= more junk to find stuff to fit in....

 

I was looking around for a sleeve and couldn't find one that had the right dimensions and was aesthetically pleasing to me.

I saw a targus model at best buy and even though I didn't really like the way it looked I gave it a try. It fit perfectly and feels nice too. Although it isn't the coolest looking sleeve I'm glad I bought it.

Here's a picture and description of what I have:

Just found this one. Leather case which looks more professional... :lol:

I have seen that one on ebay. while it looks nice, it looks like after you put that on, just setting it on a desk will starve it for air. also it does not offer it much protection. especially in a bag, backpack or briefcase. in fact, it will probbably collect crap in it and the buisness card/sdhc holders might eventually rub marks into the finish.

I'll totaly ignore the fact it is for the 8.5 and not the 10.1...

but yes, you are right, while i think it is a poor design, it does have a sexy buissiness look to it...

 

hey guys just a quick heads up, I found a nice black case at my local Circuit city that was closing down. It's a Verge brand that meant for a portable DVD player but fits the Netbook perfectly. It even has some pockets inside along the lining if you want to store a flash drive or some headphones. No slot for the charger though, but hey, at 7hours battery life, who cares....

 

thanks for the heads up. It looks nice and professional.... but leather... hmmm I am a sucker for leather.

Anyway, for USD65, I am still thinking... :mrgreen:

 

I bought one of these off Ebay, but it wasn't leather, just a nasty vinyl.

Also the fit was so tight I thought that it would mark the case when taking it out and putting it in over time, also it is VERY bulky and the catch was weak.

I am still trying to find the perect case in the UK. I want one that has carry handles and the option of a shoulder strap if I need it.
