Nice little bag, envious husband, May 19, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Since I just got a Eee PC and needed a simple safe way to tote it around, without having to lug a big extra bag (I'm always carrying my purse, my daughters juice cup, and usually at least one teddy bear) this seemed perfect... and it is! It's the perfect size for the netbook and my cellphone and even ipod touch can fit in with it. The bag is small yet sturdy and the strap is perfect to toss over my shoulder. I almost wish the flap wasn't there, it's big and makes it harder to get into the bag (which has a zipper top already) and if anything might make someone not bother zipping it closed leaving a netbook prone to falling out sine the flap just has a couple magnetic clips holding it down. All in all though I'm really happy with the bag, my husband has already tried to jam his 13" macbook into it (which while it did fit, it wouldn't zip) and has told me that if they come out with a model slightly bigger which could fit his mac he'd like me to buy him one.

Good bag for netbooks, May 8, 2009
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Caselogix XNTM-4 is a good choice for sub-notebooks or netbooks.
The maximum dimensions listed of 11.8" x 9.1" x 1.3" are a bit generous.
If you have a notebook pushing those dimensions consider a larger bag.
I use mine for a ASUS EeePC which is less than 9"x7" and there is more than enough room.
I would like to see the bag include a couple removable accessory bags to use for cables, power supplies, etc. you will need to provide your own or just let them lay loose.
The material is durable and should last a long time. However some of the stitching seems sparse and may wear over time. I would like to see tighter locked stitches so they would hold up even if damaged.
There are a few pockets suitable for cell phones, mp3 players, small gps, etc. but no "port" for passing through a headphone cable. I also don't find a great place to store things like sunglasses or keys as the description indicates.
There is an internal zippered pocket that would be ideal for storing manuals that are rarely used, but the pocket was only created about 1/2 of the sling deep and thus has a maximum storage of 5"x6", my Asus book is 8.25" x 5.5".
A couple external pockets are great for easy access items such as maps, tickets, travel itinerary, etc.
The shoulder strap is unfortunately permanently attached with no padding and if adjusted to carry as indicated in the photo puts the metal adjustment right on your shoulder and leaves 1/2 of the strap, about 18", with a loose double layer which gets flipped around and tangled.
Finally the closure flap...
It is a bit over sized and it can be difficult to find your mark for the 2 small magnetic clasps. And even if you do line them up perfectly, they don't really hold very well, especially if you stored anything in the flaps zippered compartment. This isn't really a problem as the size of the flap keeps it in position, but the addition of a more secure clasp to keep it closed when you are not actively using the bag would have been a good idea.
Still with all the flaws, it is a good looking and useful sling for carrying around a small laptop computer.

Messenger Slingback, September 10, 2009
This is just what I was looking for--a small roomy case for my 12 inch notebook. It is a perfect fit and there are plenty of pockets and zipper compartments. Plenty of room for the mouse, mouse pad and charger. With so much room, I use this in place of my purse when traveling by air and pack my purse in the larger luggage. I highly recommend!
