    Hy folks!!

    As promised in another threat I give you a short review about the Booq Vyper XM Sleeve for the Asus W3V.

    The Discussion was that the Vyper M with the fit: 13.75x9.5x1.2" (349x241x31mm) is not perfect for the W3V. This I can confirm from the test of the “XM”.

    The sizes are:
    The Asus W3V: 13” x 9.7” x 1.18”~1.29”
    Booq Vyper XM: 12.7x10.2x1.35" (323x259x34mm)

    The extra 0,3” width do not matter in my opinion (see images below) as well as the extra 0,5” depth.
    Someone might be bothered with the extra ca. 0.10” in height because it does not fit in this respect like a “glove”. But the XM comes closest to the attribute “perfect sleeve”.
    Remember at first it is made for Apple.

    Reasons are that neoprene sleeves are more sensitive that the here used nylon and not that much protective. I also do not need handles and other extras, just a sleeve against scratches.
    I did research at crumpler, tucano, fellows, radtech etc. and I have not found something similar.
    You might say from the images that it does not fit but the edges of the sleeve are round! So when it is closed the sleeve is just right.

    THE PROOF:"XM" closed including W3V
