    I have that case in black. it barely fits the w2v and you have to like cram the AC adapter in there thats all that will fit really and then you have to put decent force to close it. its a really kewl case but little room in it and its heavy as hell.

    Slightly off topic, but any hints that the W2j will come with any accessories like a case/mouse/whatever?
    SRD: Did your W2 come with it as a bonus from the dealer or from ASUS?

    I have the Matias case for my W2V. The power brick doesn't really fit in the case unless your willing to put some pressure on laptop when you're closing it. I just throw the brick in with my luggage when I travel with it. I bought the case so that I could put my backpack on top of the case under a seat on an airplane without worrying about smashing the W2. For that it works great. I also carry a Logitech V500 and an external portable hard drive with no problems.

    Basically anything over 0.8 inches won't fit along with the W2 in the case. The power brick is 1 inch thick.
