What is the best bag/case for the NB205? I'm looking for a case that isn't bulky, but can hold the NB205 (one of the biggest netbooks in its class) and the power supply. Anyone found the ideal bag?

I bought the Toshiba hardcase bag for mine. Toshiba 10.1-Inch Netbook Hardshell Case (Black)This is great for protection, but also serves a dual purpose. You can set your Toshiba mini on top of it and it acts as a perfect lap pad preventing any heat to absorb on to your lap. It also has a lip on the end of it preventing it from sliding around. The only downside is that it doesnt have space for anything else (i.e. - the AC adapter that you mention).

I'm using this one -> Toshiba 10.1-Inch Netbook Soft Sleeve (Black) It's made by Toshiba especially made for NB205. It's perfect fit...

I've had a nity little "sleeve" case for a couple of months. I went to Radio Shack to buy something I saw in an ad and I found this one. It's CASE LOGIC and I can't find it now on Radio Shack's or Case Logic's website. It's black neoprene and my little netbook (bigger battery) fits just fine. It has two handles and a small zippered area. I keep my mouse in there, but it has enough give that I think the power supply would fit there too. I did take the Toshiba into Radio Shack with me and they let me try it before I bought it.

Any other suggestions? I bought one at BBY and it doesn't fit in far enough to zip closed due to the extended battery shape. If I removed the battery it would fit but that defeats the purpose. Are there any soft/slip cover cases that'll fit the width?

I am also using the Caselogic netbook sleeve purchased from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-Ultraportable-Neoprene-Notebook/dp/B0018LYCYK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s;=office-products&qid;=1253535565&sr;=8-4The netbook fits perfectly and the zipper compartment has enough room for the AC adapter and Microsoft Blue tooth mouse. The zipper compartment does look a little stretched out when everything is stuffed it, but it does zip. Only problem is there is no shoulder strap, and no hooks for one even if you wanted to add your own.

I use this Targus Sport Netbook case. It works fine - Targus Sport Clamshell Case Designed for 10.2 Inch Netbooks TNC101US (Black)

Thanks, Joshua. The briefcase looks like it will work perfectly, so I just ordered one. Wish it were lighter than 1.8 lbs (I seem to have a hang-up with weight), but everything else about it seems to be exactly what the doc ordered. Have you received the laptop and bag yet? Let us know what you think.

Oh, I like that case. It's more the size I was looking for, too. Thanks for the tip! I'll be curious to find out if this mobo does fit in it OK, too -- it looks pretty tight and the wifi antenna on these boards isn't necessarily in a good position.

I got m350. It is nice and solid, but there is no space left for 3.5 inch hard drive. Zotac's MB CPU cooler is too big for this case.

Since I returned mine, I have not found anything similar. If I could find the same thing but of a good quality I would buy it in a heart beat. As of right now though I do not have a case and am still looking for a better option.

Hi Luke, did you find any suitable caddy for your ACER E5-571. I have the same laptop. I was wondering which caddy worked best for you.

Yes, I agree with this post! I bought the Case Logic LNEO-10 case today for my new Acer Aspire One and it fits perfectly with the battery attached. I originally bought a very similar Case Logic case (without the handles) and it is too small for this netbook, so I exchanged it for the LNE0-10.

I started a discussion on another string about this topic. Best Buy's is a UL50AG-RBBBK05. Boes BBB stand for Best Buy? Anyway, Cnet reviewed this model and liked it except for its speed, which strikes me as geek-head complaint. As the last poster said, the RBBBK has a DVD/CD drive, which is essential, and is a very nice machine, but too large for me. Does anybody know if ASUS makes the exact same machine with all the same specs but just in a smaller (13.3) size, WITH CD/DVD drive? Sony has one, but way more expensive and no HDMI. Advice?

I agree. I bough the black model and the keyboard is great! Plenty of size. In fact I'm typing this post off of my nb205-210 right now. I prefer the look of this computer over the more expensive -310 version. This model is a no brainer if you don't need wifi. That is why I got this model. You will be happy with this keyboard, works great!

Oh yea, the Alienware 18X is the biggest of the lot, nicknamed Beast rightfully. I also own an MSI though only the GE70, it is only thinner and much lighter than the Dominator. Width and Length wise, almost the same. If a bag could hold a 18x, it would hold pretty much anything. My earlier laptop was a Toshiba 18" laptop and that is small in comparison to the Alienware in all dimensions.

I have the Acer Aspire One 10.1 inch netbook and the case works for it. The case holds the netbook, wireless mouse/battery, and even a portable DVD drive and cord. Nice little case.

With my netbook in it, it measures 2 1/2 inches at the bottom and 2 inches at the top. Probably the difference is because I have the cord for the netbook in the bottom of the case, and it's fuller than the top of the case. I can't see where there would be any difference in size based on color. Amazon's descriptions are not always accurate.

I just received my 1200IS a couple of days ago and completely forgot about a case. I saw this one and reading your comments totally answered my questions regarding fit. Thanks.

I have a 13in macbook pro that I got in 2011 (not sure if the dimensions are the same as now) but I never had any issue fitting my macbook into the case. I really liked this case because its hard on the outside but it is a small case that can fit into another bags without being heavy (i was a student so I walked a lot and always carried my laptop in this case). Not sure what Lenovo is.... sorry!

*EDIT* I have this bag: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007528LF2?cache=df1f4e0f59c6f5e0a3ec62f45fb4a320#ref=pd_aw_sim_pc_5 ... And not the one not in the question. I ordered both and found the one I kept (linked) fit more camera gear better. I packed a 17" MBP, 5D, 70-200, and 17-40 in this to carry on to a trip out west! It was a very snug fit (the laptop is the source of snugness... and a bit of discomfort) but it works if you're not planning on toting the laptop on long hikes into the field. Without the laptop the bag is very comfortable and has a very nice "not expensive" look to it. *EDIT* I have this bag: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007528LF2?cache=df1f4e0f59c6f5e0a3ec62f45fb4a320#ref=pd_aw_sim_pc_5 ...
