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 Good so far

- A snug fit for my Samsung NC10 (so it should fit all other 10 inch netbooks.

- Haven’t used the pocket for accessories that is built in so I’m not sure if it works well.

- No strap so it’s only meant for light protection and will need to be put in a bag or carried by hand.

5 Stars Function plus style
I bought this for a lenovo s10e, but have ended up using it for an Asus eee 1000HE. The eee fits snugly, so much so that it’s more compact when I pack the machine in the hoodie than when I use the sleeve that came with the netbook. The sleeve has two compartments separated by a semi-rigid shell – one for the laptop and one for laptop related sundries. With nothing in it the extra pocket takes up no additional space, but it can be filled as much as if you had an additional sleeve. I’ve put both a 10″ and 9″ asus in this sleeve at the same time (one per pocket), and it handled it without any trouble. Sufficed to say there’s plenty of room for a power supply, mouse, or whatever else you might want to carry. I’ve used several sleeves, including another from Built for my 15″ macbook pro, but this is by far the most functional and compact I’ve owned.

It’s also the coolest. The hood closure is really clever, works well, and often earns a comment when I take the case out in front of company. It goes over the component pocket before the laptop pocket, so it keeps any cables and dongles safe from being accidentally droppped. The splash of color inside just looks good. It’s sort of like a stylish jacket for my laptop.

1 Star Does not fit Acer One 10.1″ with bigger battery
I bought this case because based on the dimensions, it should have fit my Acer One 10.1″ with the 5800 mah battery. Problem is, the very rigid shell in the middle makes it very difficult to put the netbook in and pull it out. The only way I can get the laptop to fit without hassle and fear of breaking my netbook or tearing the case is to remove the battery and put it in the back pouch. I’d rather have a carrying case where I didn’t have to take my laptop apart. Shame since I’m a big fan of other Built NY products.

4 Stars Still undecided about this bag
I bought this bag for my Samsung NC10 notebook. The notebook fits perfectly in the bag without the Samsung sleeve. However, it’s a little bit of a tight fit with the sleeve on. I like that there is a zipper on this bag. From the description of the product, it wasn’t very clear if the bag actually had a zipper. It’s a straight zipper that’s hidden down below the handles. One thing I’m concerned about is the weight of the netbook relative to using the cutout handles, which are very stretchy. I haven’t used the bag much, but it seems like the handles could possibly rip if it’s primarily carried that way. My netbook weighs about 2.8 pounds, but that doesn’t include the battery pack. Fortunately, there is a shoulder strap that seems a little more secure. However, the fasteners for the strap are small plastic rings, and the clips attached to the strap are also plastic. I don’t know how these plastic parts will hold up in the long run, but I guess I’ll find out. The material itself is thinner than I anticipated. I’m not sure if it will adequately protect my netbook from bumps and dings, but it’s not like I’m going to be swinging my bag around. Overall, the bag is really cute and certainly eye-catching. It definitely has orange overtones (the inside is solid orange) and purple undertones, so if you aren’t entirely crazy about those two colors, you might want to pass on this bag. I haven’t tried putting the battery charger in the bag with the netbook, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a noticeable bulge. But other than that, it’s a unique and colorful little bag that I would purchase again.

5 Stars Great bag
Bought this for my netbook, HP Mini 1000 — I love it. It is compact enough to fit into my work satchel and the straps it comes with makes it easy to carry around all by itself too. Enough space/pockets to store all the cords and accessories too.

5 Stars Laptop Bag
My 10″ netbook fits in this bag perfectly with room for the charger, cords, and handbook. Love the colors and the lightness of the bag.

5 Stars NY Built Micro Dot 7-10 inch Laptop bag
Absolutely love this bag! Bought this bag for my Hp mini notebook and it fits perfectly. It has a division for the mini and 2 pockets for storing your power cords and room left for a mouse if needed. I recommended this to any girls/women out there who like convenience with style!

5 Stars Awesome bag
My wife absolutely loves this little bag, her HP 2133 netbook fits nicely with the power adapter and room for some knitting or a book also.

5 Stars Nice!!
I really like the bright colours!! My netbook fits nicely in it and leaves space for the zip to close comfortably.They packaged it very nicely and i like the thing they place in it so it will keep its shape.

5 Stars Good value and nicely made
Bought this for ASUS Eee PC 900 16G (8.9″ Display, Intel Mobile CPU, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB Solid State Drive, Linux) Pearl White

It’s a nice little sleeve, very well made and good looking.

5 Stars Adorable!
Bought this for my Acer Aspire One (8.9″) … it fits very snug, so I wouldn’t recommend it for a larger laptop, but for my Acer it works great. Adorable print and protects the laptop between uses … excellent!

5 Stars Perfect!
This my second Built NY laptop case and it is perfect. I travel a lot and you don’t have to take the computer out of this case for airport security screening. My other Built laptop case is about three years old and still looks new, as do the lunch bags we have, the wine bags, and the other items I have given friends as gifts.

5 Stars Perfect for HP Mini
I bought an HP Mini and when it got here I realized I had nothing to put it in. Everything in the stores were too big, so I did a little research. I love BuiltNY products so I searched for one small enough, found it on amazon, ordered it, and it fits my netbook like a glove! very good buy.
