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.
The bag itself was designed by people who really know what is needed in a notebook backpack. Finally enough space to take something more than just a computer. You can add some books and there is plenty of space for all the wires/batteries/mouse etc. There are separate pockets all over and they are useful in size and lay-out. There is a variety of mesh pockets on the inside and they are fantastic for disks and smaller things. There is even a cell phone bag attached to front of the one of the straps that comes off if you don't need it.
The notebook pocket is located right in the back in the largest compartment of the bag, and thus reducing the experienced weight to the absolute minimum. The notebook pocket is firmly padded and this pocket is suspended so when you put the bag down the notebook will not hit the floor.
Overall I'm thrilled and since a variety of well-known brands have opted for this design to become their standard backpacks, I'm not surprised. Well worth the money and a great buy!This case is a great little case for netbooks. It is big enough, with extra pockets to hold all the extras you may be carrying around with the netbook, like a power cord, mouse, and possibly even an external cd drive. Construction seems to be high quality. I would have given this thing perfect reviews EXCEPT....
It does not come with a shoulder strap, multiple other buyers mentioned this in their reviews as well. I contacted Targus' customer service and was basically told "sorry, tough luck, here is one you can buy for the same price as what the whole case cost you". Even though the description here on amazon, on targus' website, and on the product packaging clearly states and shows it with a padded shoulder strap. Since a strap to allow it to be carried hands free is kind of the whole point of getting this case, that one ommision cost it 4 stars.
Some other reviewers seemed to have luck getting a replacement strap from Targus but they pretty much ignored me so don't hold your breath.
