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.
