    Does anyone have a 10.2" netbook with the Zeroshock III 10"?
    How well does it fit?

    Hi.

    I bought a 12" Zeroshock III for my 12" Samsung Q210 and the sleeve was far too small, I should have bought a 15"

    Make certain you go by the internal dimensions of the sleeve and the external dimensions of the netbook.

    Regards

    John.

    Ok clear. In that case it surely won't fit. Thanks.

    Hi.

    There is 0% give in Zeroshock III case, you have to buy the exact size or larger.

    Regards

    Strangely enough, the 8.9" inch Zeroshock is larger than the 10" Zeroshock.

    According to this ad it's W275x D40x H200mm
    That would mean it fits the NC10.

    And according to a user on a dutch forum it is indeed true.

    Yea... My oversized 15.4" fits snugly in a 17" case.

    Best to go try it out. In Singapore there are actual brick and mortar shops which stock it.

    Most probably it wont; because once I bought a Zeroshock III 12” for my previous XPS M1210 (12.1” Wide) it was too small. Even the Zeroshock III 13" was a very tight fit .
    I'd recommend the 11", if your notebook is very thick then perhaps the 12".

    My AAO with 6-cell battery fits well in my Zeroshock III 8.9".

    The new sizes from the Elecom Zeroshock III range are targetted at UMPC specifically.

    7"
    8.9"

    The 8.9" fits several of the 10" netbooks as well.

    Lenovo S10, EEE PC 1000H, MSI Wind U100...


    The 10.4" size was meant more for the previous Fujitsu ultra-portable range, fits other small sized ultra-portables as well, but can't even fit certain 8.9" UMPC.

    I can confirm now, the Elecom Zeroshock III 8.9" fits the Samsung NC10 perfect. Tight fit. Exactly right.

    The stated dimensions are W275xL200xH400 mm.

    Welcomed. :)


    Just a side note: The 8.9" Wide Zeroshock III fits the 6-Cell Lenovo S10 too :D

    My EEE 1000H fits in mine perfect and I think its an 11" model.

    just enough room to fit snug and close but not so close that your almost scraping the netbook with the zippper.

    I may just sell it since so many people want it, I never use it. I use my leather case for it instead.

    This looks like the exact same one I have and its the person I got it from: http://cgi.ebay.com/ZEROSHOCK-III-L...ryZ38284QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    I've ordered an HP Mini 1030NR from buy.com, and emailed Yap2528, the Ebay seller of Zeroshock iii sleeves, to ask him which would fit. He said the 8.9 sleeve will fit most netbooks between 8.9 and 11, and the 8.9 will fit the HP Mini with 10.1 screen.

    He is a great resource, and I have always received great service from him, along with competitive prices.

    I am holding off on ordering until buy.com moves my purchase from "Processing" to "Shipped." Buy.com has burned me before with cancelling orders long after they were placed. (Just happened to me with another laptop bag that I purchased as a result of a link on this board to buy.com)

    Hi,

    Just saw this post and your PM.

    My site was recently revamped, most of the products are not yet relisted.

    :)

    Vaio Z keyboard protectors are currently sold out! :D Will be in again soon.

    Just for info,

    the 8.9" UMPC Zeroshock III fits

    MSI Wind U100 (6-Cell)
    Lenovo S10 (6-Cell)
    Asus 1000HE (8700mAH 6-cell)
    Asus 1002HA (4-Cell)
    HP Mini Note 2140 (3-Cell)
    HP Mini 1000 (3-Cell) **Will try to test with 6-cell**


    It fits all or most of the 10" netbooks, but will not fit 11.1" like Vaio TT series...

    I have all the models on my site, dimensions provided so you guys can compare and see if it fits.
