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.

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire One (6 cell version) and ended up spending a surprising amount of time looking for a case for it before tripping across this one. I am happy to report that it is a perfect fit. Moreover, it has a full size external zipper pocket that is roomy enough to hold both the Samsung external optical drive I purchased for the machine and the battery charger without adding any appreciable bulk. The detachable shoulder strap is the option I particularly wanted since I often do not have a free hand when traveling. The only mystery is why Amazon does not list this case among the suggested cases for the ACER machine since it is an excellent choice.

I found this case in Staples. At first I did not like the way it looked, very bulky. Bought it anyway, it was the only netbook case in stock. Fits the new Aspire One with large battery perfectly. There is a lot of padding, straps and room to store additional supplies, etc. I plan to keep the bag now. It is what is.... nice workmanship, nicely put together, I even kind of like the bulk.

I packed my Asus Eee PC netbook with its sleeve, power accessories, mouse, flash drives, extension cord and some other small items into the Targus Sport Netbook case, put it inside a zip lock bag for water protection on rainy days and stuffed it into the tank bag on my motorcycle. Plenty of room, including a magazine in the outside pocket when not in the zip lock bag. Then I headed for the Arctic Circle from southern New Mexico, bumping along paved and unpaved roads hoping that the computer would be protected. It all worked great. Using the computer every day on the 28 day trip put a lot of stress on the Targus case and exposure to shocks and vibration on the combination bag and computer.
Now, more than a year later I just bought a new Targus Sport Netbook Case for my new Asus Eee PC, but the old Targus is still in fair shape after three additional trips via airlines and two more long trips via motorcycle (but on better highways this time).
Final assessment of Targus Sport Netbook case: interior computer compartment lining pulled loose along front edge of one side but does not compromise functionality; one plastic shoulder strap attachment ring broke so I attached a 1" metal key ring and it works fine; one zipper pull tab broke so I attached another 1" metal key ring to the zipper trolly and it works fine; exterior fabric, interior pockets, zippers (except for the one tab mentioned above), and all other seams are in excellent shape.
Recommended? YES!

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Anyone that has a small 10 inch laptop would appreciate the size of this carrying bag. It's not much bigger than my purse. I really do like the size. Highly recomended.
