    Hello,

    I bought this mini targus notebook case...the laptop will fit in there, at an angle in the case w/out any force, but it i have to use a considerable amount of force to get it to lay flat in the case.. now is this bad for it??? Anything wrong with just leaving it sit in there at an angle? This case is TINY thats why i like it... and i fit all my gizmos w/ my laptop.. so its perfect, i hope its alright to use it..but i dont wanna ruin my lil laptop :)

    LOL I know i know


    It fits in there fine but its not laying flat, and at an angle.. i wish you guys could see what im talking about. It doesnt take any force when its in there at an angle, but if i want it to lay flat in the case, it takes force..... knwo what i mean?

    i wont force it, ill just leave it at an angle, IF thats ok on it? Anyone??

    For anyone looking for a small light case (or insert for a backpack), consider the Brain Cell: www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/300/TB0300
    The Size 5 Brain Cell has interior dimensions of approximately
    11.5"x9.5"x1.5, exterior dimensions of 12"x11.125"x2.125". It offers excellent protection features and fits my S6210 very well.
    Check out the "Brain Cell Drop Test" link. [ :D]

    speaking of cases for s6000 series, anyone know a clamshell style case the fits? I'm thinking it would be cool to have a pda-style neoprene case that you can leave on and just open to use the laptop.

    Anyone?

    I have seen very few of those for any notebooks. The problem is connecting the case to the display. Straps or clips could be a little messy.

    yeah, i thought about that as well. I could live with stick-on velcro strips for the display part, like pda clamshells.
