5.0 out of 5 stars Great Netbook case, July 1, 2009

Targus TNC101US Sport Netbook Case for up to 10.2-Inch Netbooks (Black/Grey) This is a great case for my ASUS Eee PC 1000HE netbook. It is a perfect size and well padded to provide great protection for the contents. Despite its small size, it also has enough room for the power adapter plus cord, a Logitech V450 Nano Mouse, a LiteOn eSAU208-31 Slim Line External DVD Burner and the power adapter and cord for the latter. With some careful packing, I can also include the Targus slimline power inverter and cables in order to use the netbook in my car or plug it into an airline seat on longhaul flights. Only gripe, my case arrived without the advertised padded shoulder strap and with 4 smaller and inadequate carrying straps. Targus responded well to my complaint and quickly sent me a very nice padded strap to replace the missing one. I purchased this Targus case fom DataVis.com but do not bothering to call Datavis if you encounter any problem, they are just an on-seller and will only refer you to Targus, anyway. I can strongly recommend this case from a functionality perspective but it is still too early to comment on its durability although it seems pretty sturdy and I would expect it to last well. It looks attractive too and the black and silver exterior perfectly complements the Asus Netbook it contains. The case is designed to allow you to actually use the netbook while in the case without needing to remove it, if you wish, which is great while flying. Highy satisfied with this purchase and at the advertised price, it is an unbeatable value.

1.0 out of 5 stars Targus Missed the Mark, January 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Targus Sport Backpack Case Designed for 15.4 Inch Notebooks TSB212 (Black with Grey Accents) (Personal Computers)

The main problem with this laptop backpack, as with others on the market right now, is the location and design of the laptop sleeve. The laptop should have a compartment unto itself with room for a few accessories and maybe a folder. At the very least, in a backpack with dual "main" compartments, the laptop slot should be in the smaller section either toward the front of the pack or in a crush proof section by itself in the rear. By either method the laptop is not constantly banged by books and other materials as one moves, and it does not bear the weight of the materials when the pack is laid on its flat side. Unfortunately, Targus missed the mark in all these regards. The laptop sleeve is attached to the very BACK of the pack in its LARGEST compartment. So when you put the largest and heaviest items in that section (e.g. text books that don't fit in the other "main" compartment), each time you walk you can feel and hear the items in the large compartment banging against the laptop in its sleeve (in the same compartment) at the very back of the pack. Furthermore, when you lay the pack down on its back, you can just see the weight of the whole pack bearing on the helpless laptop in its sleeve. The sleeve, by the way, has no rigidity, is very thin, and has no closure flap to keep out dust, dirt or paper clips. Other problems include shoulder straps that are too thin on the padding, and not even a single strip of reflective trim on the pack for safety. All in all, Targus -- generally a leader in this field -- has put out a poorly designed, inadequately field-tested, and unjustifiably expensive backpack that will put your laptop at risk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great case for the ACER Aspire One 6-cell, June 4, 2009

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire One (6 cell version) and ended up spending a surprising amount of time looking for a case for it before tripping across this one. I am happy to report that it is a perfect fit. Moreover, it has a full size external zipper pocket that is roomy enough to hold both the Samsung external optical drive I purchased for the machine and the battery charger without adding any appreciable bulk. The detachable shoulder strap is the option I particularly wanted since I often do not have a free hand when traveling. The only mystery is why Amazon does not list this case among the suggested cases for the ACER machine since it is an excellent choice.
