5 Stars Fits my Lenovo S10 perfectly
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Anyone that has a small 10 inch laptop would appreciate the size of this carrying bag. It’s not much bigger than my purse. I really do like the size. Highly recomended.

5 Stars Perfect for Samsung NC10
Found this very professional looking case at Staples for my new Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 6 Cell Battery, XP Home) Blue. My netbook fits perfectly inside the case with enough room for my Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue) and cord attachment without looking bulky.

5 Stars Great case for the ACER Aspire One 6-cell
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.

5 Stars Nice case, looks bulky, but nicely put together
I found this case in Staples. At first I did not like the way it looked, very bulky. Bought it anyway, it was the only netbook case in stock. Fits the new Aspire One with large battery perfectly. There is a lot of padding, straps and room to store additional supplies, etc. I plan to keep the bag now. It is what is…. nice workmanship, nicely put together, I even kind of like the bulk.

5 Stars Great Netbook case
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.

4 Stars Not exactly what I expected… okay for the price
The bag is just okay for the price but not exactly what you have on the picture…The amazon picture is alittle over stated… what you really get is like the customers picture…(less compactment). well it will do the job for me at least. Shipping speed was very good.

5 Stars Great item, super price.
When the case arrived, we were (and are) very pleased with the quality of the item. Since we don’t carry our computer around every day we were not interested in spending copious amounts of money on THE super case, just something to protect it and make it easy to carry. We had looked at some of the big box stores and the lower priced cases we saw quite frankly stunk. The least expensive thing we found at close out was $20 and I wouldn’t carry a magazine around in it much less an expensive piece of electronics. So this, at this price ($12.50) is a spectacular deal. It securely holds the computer (zipper and velcro) and everything else we need. It’s not the case one needs to haul around a computer and a bunch of text books but for small stuff and accessories it has proven to be ideal for our use. Very pleased to say the least.

4 Stars Rebuttal to Negative Reviews
Just got one of these as a gift, and would like to correct some of the negative comments made by reviewers, here.

From several reviewers: “The picture is not accurate”.

REBUTTAL: This complaint is out-of-date. The pictures have been fixed. What is shown in the pictures is what I got.

John “Thug Life” Lertsakultip writes, “Also, watch out for the handle. It’s not a padded handle but it’s like a weird hard plastic one. I don’t think it will be sturdy enough if you have to carry lots of things everyday in the bag and will mess up your hands after awhile.”

REBUTTAL: The carry handle is NOT plastic. It is some kind of soft, but very stiff rubberized material. It is resistant to any kind of bending. Mr. Lertsakultip must have some extremely soft sensitive hands, because I just don’t see how this handle would be uncomfortable to anyone. (He recommends the Sumdex E-Tech Messenger bag. Though I don’t have one, I have to agree that it DOES look like a nicer bag for a few more bucks. DO check it out.)

Bashar Alnarraie “bashar129″ writes: “The hook that the straps hook into is plastic, and the endpoints on the shoulder straps are also plastic….Plastic on Plastic = very bad. When I’m walking I hear *squeak squeak squeak squeak* It can be very annoying.”

REBUTTAL: Yes, the hooks are plastic, but they’re a very thick plastic. If his Targus is squeaking at the shoulder strap hooks, then he MUST have it WAY overloaded beyond the recommended weight limit. Even if the strap hooks somehow break in the future, this thing has a lifetime replacement warranty.

Veruca Salt writes: “I’m concerned long term use will lead to the handle failing and my laptop on the ground broken. I will be replacing this bag as soon as I can because I’d rather spend $70 on a bag than hundreds of dollars for a new computer.”

REBUTTAL: IF–and I say IF–the handle fails, you are going to see stress and wear LONG before it actually snaps. The handle material is very durable. There is NO way it is going to suddenly and “mysteriously” fail with no advance warning, first.

5 Stars Very nice bag…
Quality product. Fits a 15.4″ laptop perfectly. I’m very happy and the price was great. I mean…this is all you really need.

4 Stars Great for my Lenovo G530 – and very sturdy construction
I got a great deal on a new Lenovo G530 with a 15.4″ screen and needed a new bag to go with it. Local stores were off the hook for pricing (a discount machine needs a discount bag). This Amazon purchase fits the bill. It has a sturdy feel and holds the laptop perrfectly. The width is perfect and the height has 2″ to spare. The handle is very comfortrably padded with a dense rubber grip and the strap is well built with a rubber shoulder pad. Features I liked:

- An outside magazine pocket for those plane trips

- A thick carrying handle

- A nice mouse sized pocket under the clip down flap

- Sturdy zippers

- Traditional messinger bag style

Down falls:

- It screams “steal me” at the airport (but if you like this style bag, what can you do?)

- 3 CD/DVD storage slots and no USB key drive slots.

2 Stars Bag too small
I have this bag. To say that it is too small for the tiny netbook should say it all. The netbook is tiny, this bag is the same size. It will hold your netbook and only your netbook. The outside pocket is not made to hold anything thicker than paper. I can manage to jam the power cord for the netbook into the outside pouch but it then bulges outward unnecessarily and probably puts pressure on the actual netbook. It is a very tight fit. I bought this bag from the manufacturer of my netbook (Dell) and it came with a set of accessories also made by Targus. You would think that if you were bundling netbook accessories with a netbook bag, that there would be room enough in the bag for the accessories. You would think that, but you would be wrong. The USB mouse is about the size of my thumb, it’s almost too small to use, and it doesn’t fit in the bag. They make a set of speakers which fold up to be slightly larger than a deck of cards, and they don’t fit in the bag. What is the point of selling netbook accessories with your netbook bag if the accessories don’t fit in the bag? Now I have to carry a second bag to hold my accessories. FAIL.

Although, if you only want to carry the netbook, this bag is perfect. You’ll be able to get the power cord in the bag, but it would be an uncomfortable fit.
