    Guys, I've got a used 1000HE and love it. I wanted to buy some shell for it or some other protective option but I can't seem to find much for the 1000HE but I find lots of stuff for other models. I've tried to ask Asus both over the phone and on their forum but no answer and by the way, I've had other Asus products and I think their support truly sucks :(

    Anyway, my question is, are there any other models that are IDENTICAL in size so that I can buy a shell for that model that will fit my 1000HE without problems with ports and other openings being the same?

    Is there a heat issue when using a shell or some leather cover?

    Any silicone cases for it?

    Links are appreciated.

    Thanks

    George

    Here's a comparison table for the older Eee models, including physical dimensions: ASUS Eee PC? Comparison List

    As to whether the port layouts are the same, you'll have to compare pictures.

    Good luck!

    So their forums is just for IN warranty stuff?

    Besides, this is something that should have been easy for THEM to look up and give me a reply to. Mind you, I have other products that they haven't helped me with so it doesn't much change my mind about them.
    Too bad 'cause I like my little netbook but i'll make me think twice about buying more stuff from them.
