| 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.
| | Nice Stuff, good price, delivery on time |
| This is just a very nice stuff, everybody want one like this, it makes easy to transport my mini HP without scratching it and not too big bag. Delivery time was ok at a good price.
| | 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.
| | 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.
| | 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.
