    It's luck of the draw. You can potentially get a notebook sleeve, earphones, leather CD case and screen cloth. I got the notebook sleeve and earphones, but not the other two. I consider the notebook sleeve essential.

    I got the screen cloth with mine and that was all. Been on the phone to them a few times to try and get the other stuff sent, but everytime I get told its sorted and I'll get a call back I never get one. So annoying.

    Snap. Not fussed about the CD case but having the screen cloth from day one would have been handy.

    I got the cloth and notebook sleeve. I emailed them about the rest of the stuff and was told that from May 2008 onwards they no longer ship with all the accessories and that they have to be ordered and paid for. Sounds like a lie to me seeing as others on here have received everything despite ordering after me!

    So did you not get the sleeve? I will be really annoyed if they send mine without the sleeve. I don't really mind about the earbuds and the leather CD case. I would like the cloth though.
