The small sized Dell Mini 10v netbook fits nicely in my Quarfie Crumpler Bag. The Mini 10v with or without the neoprene sleeve has problem going into my Crumpler bag comfortably.
I had the Quarfie with me for a couple of years. I bought it because it has a clip release flap instead of a velcro flap. A Crumpler’s velcro flap is really LOUD. There’s no way to open a velcro flap in a meeting room quietly. I know, cause I have 2 other Crumpler bags with velcro flap. I can take out or keep my netbook in a meeting room or classroom without disturbing those around me.
With my Quarfie Crumpler bag, I didn’t have to get a new laptop bag for my Mini Dell 10v. Did you buy a new laptop bag just for your netbook?
I came across this “Made in China” neoprene sleeve for 12″ Notebooks at the local Carrefour store. They had the neoprene sleeve in 3 sizes, for 12″, 13″ and 14″ notebooks, and in 3 colors, gray, beige and dark brown. I bought a 12″ beige notebook sleeve hoping that it’s not too large for my Dell Mini 10v. I would have preferred dark brown, but they only had beige for the 12″ notebook sleeve.
The Dell Mini 10v extended 6 cell battery gives the notebook sleeve an odd shape when the laptop is inside it. It doesn’t have the regular notebook lay-me-down-flat shape. So, I was glad to find the 12″ notebook sleeve just nice for the odd shaped Dell Mini 10v with a 6 cell battery. It’s not too tight or loose. The soft neoprene will protect the laptop from scratches when I carry it around in my messenger bag.
The laptop fits nicely, not too tight or loose.
