This netbook case was everything I was looking for at a great price. It is small, has carrying handles that fold out of the way, and has an external zippered compartment for some small items. The craftsmanship and quality of this case is excellent. The zipper is made well and it keeps my netbook safe. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a netbook case.

I got this sleeve for my Dell Inspirion 10v Netbook and it fits perfect. It appears to be well constructed and will stand up to use. I has a pocket in the front which is where I store the power cable and a handle which makes it easy to tote around. Haven't had any problems with it.

i like the bag it works fine, but my only problem is that it is very tight, so when i put the power cord in the bag it will make everything feel more compressed. but even then that doesn't bother me too much. I would suggest this bag if you only put your netbook and power cord in it, if you need to put more than that i would pass and get a bigger bag, the bag does have this cover that lips over the netbook around the zipper area so that is nice, but other than that its just ok.

Nice netbook envelope that comes with a front pocket. Fits a 10 inch ASUS netbook with ease. Carrying handle feels a little insubstantial, but has a Velcro tab to hold the two parts together and provide stability. The front pocket is small and works mainly for USB drives and other small pieces of equipment. I would not suggest placing the netbook power cord in the pocket as that may cause undue pressure on the screen. Overall, if you are looking for a nice small carrying case for the netbook then this works well and has a nice feel.

The bag is very lightweight, the padding offers great protection. It fits in my bag, or sometimes I use the handles (great idea!)The only thing is that the power cord makes it seem awkward, I often leave the cord at home or toss it in my purse. Would recommend!

Great product for the price! Fits my 10.1" ASUS Eee PC perfectly. I wrap a microfiber cloth around the netbook and slide it into the case for easy transport in my backpack to class (since my backpack doesn't have a separate partition for a computer). It seems pretty durable for a soft case - no tears or rips or faulty zippers yet after about a month of everyday use. I love it!

I am happy when a product meets my expectations, and I am able to use it for the reason I purchased it in the first place. I am happy that I can shove all sorts of things into this little netbook carrier. It expands, and it is convenient. It arrived in a timely manner to my location in South Korea. It was shipped all the way from the states.

When I first ordered this item, I admit I was slightly nervous about what some other reviews had said about the fit being really snug on their 10" netbook. Snug is absolutely ideal (and I think paramount when it comes to the safety of electronics) but I was worried with the bulky batteries that Toshiba netbooks tend to have that this sleeve might be TOO snug. This was NOT the case. My Toshiba NB505 fit perfectly in the sleeve from the moment I placed it inside, and the zipper was able to close the sleeve with enough room so that scraping the sides of my netbook was not a concern. So this sleeve should be perfect for ANY 10" netbook in my opinion... even the ones with bulky batteries.

Secondly, I'd like to address the issue a lot of people have cited about the smell of the item. While I do agree that most neoprene products have a distinct (and not terribly pleasant) odor to them, I'm honestly not sure how people have claimed they've felt ill from it. I consider myself to be quite sensitive to strong odors, and unless I'm sticking my nose in the bag or hovering directly over top of it, the smell is almost unnoticeable. And that's straight out of the packaging material. I'm not sure why you'd want to stick your nose in the bag when your netbook is supposed to go inside, but that's the only logical answer I can come up with. Either that or there are some people who are VERY sensitive to odors... but chances are if you're reading this review you won't fall into that category, as everyone I know has agreed with me on this issue.

Enough with dispelling the negative comments though... it's time for me to address what's great about this sleeve.

As I said, the fit is perfect for 10" netbooks and the neoprene material feels thick enough to adequately protect my computer while remaining thin enough to not be bulky. The handles are an absolute added bonus here, and they're what originally attracted me to this sleeve along with the positive reviews. The handles fold out of the way along either side of the sleeve if you prefer to store it that way when you place it in your bag. This is a great space saver for those of us with smaller messenger bags designed for a 10" machine and not much else. They're in no way bulky because of this ability to fold away, but they're perfectly sturdy while in use... the part of the handles you grip are reinforced and give you a sense of security, knowing you've got a good grip on things. There's also a strip of velcro in between the handles so they stay together while you're carrying your netbook which I find adds to this sense of security. I don't ever worry that I'm going to drop my computer!

Another bonus of having these handles is that it really eliminates the need for a bag. I prefer to carry one, but I would feel perfectly safe carrying my netbook around in this case. Even for those of you who intend on using a bag, I find this feature to be great because let's be honest... you never know what's going to happen. I've been bumped into several times in coffee shops and the like. Carrying my netbook around in a sleeve with handles makes me feel a little less worried about one of these accidents becoming tragic for me and my netbook!

There's also a little pouch at the front of this particular bag which is another great feature for both people with bags and people who choose to go without. It's big enough to fit USB cords, flash drives, and even minor things like index cards which may be useful for students. Some people have cited the pouch as being big enough to fit the power supply cord in there as well, but I wouldn't recommend this. I think a lot of the cases where people claim their netbook screens have cracked without them damaging it, it's from the excess pressure exerted on the screen when too many things are crammed in these neoprene sleeves. I'm no computer expert, so take that advice with a grain of salt... but for me, pouches are made for smaller objects and anything rigid that'll apply constant pressure to your screen is a bad thing. This is where having a bag comes in handy, so you're not forced to carry your power supply in this way... but most netbooks have great battery life anyway, so maybe this won't even be a concern for you.

Long story short, this sleeve is great. It protects your netbook surprisingly well and allows for an extra sense of security thanks to the handles, which I find a necessity. If you're trying to decide whether to pay a couple extra bucks for a case with handles, my advice is DO IT. That's the situation I was in, and for the cost of this case the product far exceeds my expectations. I did my research on Amazon, and this was the best case I could come up with. I regret nothing in purchasing this item.

The handle is one of the best features of this sleeve. I don't ever feel in danger of dropping my notebook. With the outside pocket I can store my cordless mouse and power cord. I love this.

This is really the ideal case for a netbook, it provides adequate protection, is a good quality product. I have an Acer Aspire One with the extended battery and it fits perfectly, I can actually for the power cord in the zipper compartment as well. The best thing about this particular case is the handles--they are perfect.
