Netbooks are the hottest portable computers today, so if you have one then you probably need a protective bag. Most Netbooks are low cost and so have few accessories included. Most of the bags and protective sleeves I have seen on the market are pretty basic. At my local office supply store, I found one protective sleeve for a 10” Netbook that was only a simple neoprene sleeve with a metal zipper. Simple and a little over priced at $29.99.
The Ultra Portable Netbook SlipSuit from Mobile Edge stands out from the crowd. First off, it is still a soft, durable, and water-resistant neoprene sleeve, but with a few nice extra like a zippered pouch on the outside for your mobile phone, MP3 player, or power supply. The zippers, on the outside pouch and main compartment, are nylon and each zipper even has a nice rubber tabbed, corded zipper-pull which is easy and comfortable to use.
One feature that I really like is a neoprene “pull-over” border that protects the edge of your Netbook from the zipper or anything else when you open or close the sleeve. Nice. It also has a heavy-duty nylon strap for carrying.
The Mobile Edge Ultra Portable Netbook SlipSuit is available in 8.9” and 10” sizes as well as three basic color trims. And it has a retail price of $24.99, which is lower than most Netbook sleeves that I have seen. Even at the lower price, the SlipSuit still has a lifetime warranty.
Check the Mobile Edge web site to determine the specific model compatible with your Netbook.
If you are looking to protect your Netbook with confidence and style, I recommend the Mobile Edge Ultra Portable Netbook SlipSuit. It provides good basic protection with some nice features for a fair price.
