1 Star Falls Apart !!!
Pros:

1. Light weight

Cons:

1. Poorly made:

- Within 24 hours of use, the zipper broke (the part that you pull on came off from the zipper track). I hammered the loose part onto the zipper myself to fix it (it was quicker than returning it).

- Strap broke within about 3 weeks of use. The strap is attached by plastic hooks with a relatively thin wire clip securing the strap hook onto the bag handles (SEE THE PICTURES). The wire bent, came out of its holes and no longer secures the strap hook in place, leading to me dropping my laptop a few times, whenever the strap hook unhinges itself.

- The zipper handle broke again, leading to me loosing the part after about 4 weeks of use.

2. I personally do not like the fact that the main laptop compartment opens up completely, 180 degrees rather than from the top only. This was especially aggravating when the zipper broke and everything inside could fall out.

4 Stars 17″ Bag
It’s what I expected. My laptop and the ac power pack fits inside the thin case. The case is about 18″ wide. I wish that the extra zipped pack would open up completely, but it works for me.

5 Stars Great case.
I have a HP dv7-1175nr and I was looking for a case for it. I saw this and did look nice for me. I bought it, and I love it. I’m a tall guy, so the case and the laptop fit with me. When a friend of mine, who has other 17″ laptop, saw my case, he ask me where to buy it. We’re really happy with our cases.

5 Stars Good for protecting laptop
This case is for protecting the laptop. It will hold a few other items but is limited on space for large items such as books, etc. Has room for laptop items like charger, mouse, etc.

5 Stars Superior Laptop Case
This is a great multiple use laptop case. Highly recomended. Case Logic VNC-17 17-inch Value Slimline Laptop Case (Black)

4 Stars good product, it is what it is
This is a good netbook sleve that serves it function. Very well built and durable. I wish it had a small pouch or pocket for a USB, cord, headphone, etc… What I like is that this laptop sleve doesn’t add bulk to an already small netbook. I mean afterall, is that the point of having a netbook in the first place.

5 Stars I absolutely love this thing!
I got a hp mini and wanted a sleeve to go with it. This is absolutely perfect!

5 Stars Built 10-inch laptop sleeve
I brought this for my Dell Mini 9. Very good protection for my computer. Built very well but just a little big but serves the purpose.

5 Stars Perfect for Netbook
I got this sleeve for my 10 inch Lenovo netbook and it fits very well. It’s nice and snug and makes it easy to just throw my laptop into a bag without worrying about it.

4 Stars Does what it is supposed to
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.

5 Stars Exactly What You’d Expect
This little guy is not only cute with it’s chocolate and blue coloring, but it works quite well. It is the perfect size to sit on your lap and keeps your legs from getting too hot with you laptop resting on it.

5 Stars the best
I bought this item the christmas before last when my kids gave me my laptop computer. It is wonderful, last year my daughter was here from Los Angeles and used it and loved it so I sent her one for her birthday. She and her husband both use it and find it. Her laptop is a larger model and this item is reversable for the l5inch models and l8 in models it works great for both sizes.

I would recommend this to anyone.

5 Stars Nice!
Nice and light, decent quality, keeps laptop far away from your lap to minimize heat. Once you use it you’ll take it all over the house! Added plus, the Asus 1008HA Netbook fits inside the cushion for storage!

5 Stars Perfect
I love this notebook stand. It keeps your lap cool, puts your laptop at a good angle and looks nice.

5 Stars I use this thing everyday and it’s amazing!
I was nervous after reading some of the negative reviews on this product but still needed a laptop stand for when I’m working on the couch. I am happy to say that the product works incredibly well. It provides great support for your computer and is extremely comfortable to use. I have used the cooling pads with the fans and they do keep your laptop cooler but they are much bulkier and seem to be overkill in my opinion. I think one of the best features is the space in the middle of the cushion because you are able to put your laptop adapter in there. Overall a great product that I use everyday!
