Does what it is supposed toMay 2, 2009 007(NY, USA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
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 and 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.
Ample Space for Thicker 10.1" with Fat BatteryMarch 2, 2010 A reader(Berkeley, CA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Look at the picture carefully; this only unzips along the short side. That works fine for me, but thought you should know.
Fits my thickest 10.1" netbook with a fat battery pack just fine - this "fatter" netbook won't fit some sleeves. That's good.
The "corner bumpers" don't add much if any extra protection; but they don't detract from protection either.
Overall a well made, decently priced netbook sleeve.
And ya gotta have one for your unpadded bags, right? Or if you have to put your netbook in an inspection tray through security.
I'd buy another....
Great FitDecember 13, 2009 DDT(FL United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased this Built NY 10 inch netbook sleeve in fiery orange for my Dell mini 10 with a 6 cell battery. There is plenty of room in this sleeve for my netbook with the large battery (the Dell 6 cell battery sticks out of the bottom of the netbook). I can also fit my power adapter in the bag if needed. I like the zipper design on this bag(avoid scratches) and I love the color. It is very bright orange with a reddish hue. I am able to put my netbook in my purse and feel like it is protected from dirt and from getting scratched. I would recommend this sleeve to others and will purchase other Built NY products from Amazon.
good product, it is what it isMay 30, 2009 Kenneth Osherow(Boston, MA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
works greatSeptember 7, 2010 Kris(Evanston, IL United States) The sleeve works great. I like the zipper - feel sturdier than the smaller zipper on a of other sleeves. As other commenters have posted out, this fits 10-inch netbooks snuggly.
The corners stick out a little, which is nice when picking up the netbook, but I have to remind myself not to carry it by the corners, since my fingers don't get that much of a grip.
