Home > Consumer Reviews > HP NF869AA Mini Notebook Sleeve

Don't often leave review. But would like to for this one this time, because nobody has mentioned about whether it would fit a HP MINI with 6-cell battery. I was kind of worried that it wouldn't fit my HP MINI with 6-cell battery when I ordered it. Anyhow, I have received the sleeve today, try it, it fits perfectly. Made with good and protective material. You can lay your head on it if you want! The only drawback if you will is that the power cord needs to be stored separately. For me, it's ok, I usually carry another messenger bag anyway, this sleeve is only for protection of the netbook in my messenger bag. Another feature I wished it has is a small pocket in the front or back or inside, that you can store a SD memory card or tiny little things like that. I still give it 5 stars though, cause it's really handsome, I really like it. Recommended totally for HP MINI users.

I love my hp mini 1000 computer, but because of the glossy cover, it finger printed kinda bad. It needed a case so that the majority of those smudges could be cut out, and I bought the hp mini slip case for my mini to solve that problem. It works great!
The only thing preventing me from giving this a five star rating is the lack of an external pocket for my papers (I'm a writer and need that sort of thing for papers that are in need of editing.) Otherwise, it's a great product. The inside is really soft, so there will be no scratches, and the outside is very stylish, so...no worries there for me, I don't really care about style.
If you need a case for you hp mini 1000 computer, this is the one to buy. It isn't too tight of a fit for the laptop, so there is room for a few other things (maybe a mouse?...I haven't bought one yet, so I don't know. Just make sure it's a small mouse, one made for a small laptop like the 1000.

All for now, hope this review was helpful for you!

If you're looking for simple protection for your netbook, then look no further. This is a nicely padded case that appears to be of good quality for the price, with a design that people seem to either love or hate. It will protect your netbook from scratches, and MAYBE a very short fall. That's why it's called a "sleeve" and not a case. But if you're looking for a snug fit for an HP Mini, this isn't it... The sleeve seems to be generically designed to fit numerous netbooks.

If you're looking for any sort of storage, I suggest you look elsewhere. For some reason, HP didn't deem it necessary to even include ONE pocket on or in this thing. I own the HP Mini 110-1030NR (which I LOVE), and it fits the Mini and its oversized 6-cell battery just fine. I can also store the AC power cord in the sleeve with the mini, in the gap that the battery leaves. Could probably also fit an eensy wireless mouse next to the AC cord.

I'm a pockets and storage kind of gal myself, thus the 3-star rating. But as I said, it appears to be of decent quality, so if you read the current reviews you should be able to discern if this sleeve is right for you.

I bought this to augment my HP Mini 110 (see my review, if you're on the fence!), specifically against the warnings of some reviewers here. I'm quite glad I did - I was expecting a ragged, paper-thin nylon bag, but actually was pleasantly surprised. It's plusher than one might expect, and it fits the 6-cell battery on my Mini 110 without a terribly unmanageable bulge. Personally, I like the bubbles - they remind me of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker's style. That might be a selling point for some, while I'm sure that has little bearing for others. Either way, it serves its purpose, and carries your netbook well. At $10-15, it's a low price for a good-quality item.

Since my mini frequently travels in my purse, a sleeve was necessary. This sleeve fits perfectly and I like the double zipper opening. I gave it only 4 stars for aesthetics - I didn't like the white graphic on the black case. I took a black Sharpie to the design, and now it looks exactly like the mini's case.
