4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it is supposed to, May 2, 2009

By	007 (NY, USA) - See all my reviews

Computer Used: I bought this item for my HP Mini 1000 10.2" screen netbook. This computer is very compact for a 10" mini so take that into consideration when reading this review.

Fit: When you first see it, it looks as if it's not going to fit because it's so small, but to my surprise, it fit just right. There isn't any distance between the edge of the netbook and the zipper when closed end there is no play inside... it stays snug. This is probably due to the shape of the sleeve, a feature dedicated to that purpose according to their website. A friend of mine tried it on her Dell Mini 9 and liked it. She decided to get one also.

Protection: The main reason I decided to buy this item was because I had stopped by a computer store beforehand where they had this same sleeve but for laptops 13" and up... I felt the protective cushion and was impressed. In terms of thickness, it felt far superior to any other sleeve I had tried. Unfortunately, the thickness on this version (10") doesn't seem to be as substantial as the one I saw in the store (it could be just me). That was a letdown, which is why I took away a star in this review.

Price: The Amazon price, including their shipping, makes it the best place to buy this item... better than the Built NY website or any other place for that matter.

Conclusion: For now it seems to work fine. It obviously protects against scratches and, as far as sleeves go, does a good job of cushioning the computer when inside a bag or whatever you carry it in. For serious protection, you would have to look into a carrying case with that shock absorbing air cushion. The carrying cases with the memory foam seem to be a bit cushier as well. All in all, probably one of the best sleeves out there. My only concern is that the website mentions that the sleeve will stretch to fit any sized netbook within the range it was designed for. I hope this doesn't mean that it will gradually stretch and become loose.

This review is from: Built NY Solid Laptop Sleeve 7-10" (Apparel)

Fits my Samsung Go perfectly. The wide opening allows the netbook to slide in easily (and keeps the zipper from scratching) and the hourglass shape keeps everything nice and firm. The only slight complaint is the strong rubber smell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect fit for Samsung Go N310, October 4, 2009

This review is from: Built NY E-LS10 Sleeve for 7-Inch to 10-Inch Laptops (Fiery Orange) (Electronics)

Just bought this sleeve in the french bull pattern for my Samsung Go N310 10.1-inch netbook and it fits perfectly--not loose at all and not so snug that it will stress the seams. Very simple but well made product.
