    I think any netbook owner would find this very useful for not only traveling, but also storing the netbook. From the looks of this sleeve, it's decently priced for it's quality.

    Hi, Cin!

    Looks great. If I didn't already have a Zeroshock from my AAO, I would definitely take a serious look at this one.

    On another note, does anybody find buy.com's shipping rates astronomical?

    Yeah, its quite nice...If I already didn't have one for my mini 9..I would order this! :D

    Hey you! :D
    Yeah, it look very nice! ;) Of course, can't go wrong with Zeroshock! :cool:

    Yeah, I don't understand buy.com sometimes...they have they these great deals...most of them are for free shipping, and there are these with an almost $7 shipping charge :eek:

    I know! The free shipping deals are great, but then, as you said, there are these massive shipping charges on other really cheap items. I have a hunch they try to make back some of the money you save on a sale item with charging a hefty shipping charge.

    There is no way that, given their high volume of shipping, that Buy.com pays 7 bucks to ship that sleeve!

    Great deal, though. I actually had gotten one of these sleeves in advance of getting my AAO but I got the smaller one and it didn't fit my AAO with the 6-cell battery. :(

    Exactly...because the way that they ship them..they are delivered directly to your mailbox anyways so, they must save on the shipping!

    Now, here is a great deal on a notebook sleeve for a 9 or 10" Netbook from dealextreme: $4.05 includes shipping! :D

    That is a great deal. I think dealextreme is who I got mine from! Too bad it doesn't fit, though. NOT their fault...my own impetuousness is to blame because I couldn't wait to get the AAO first and THEN get the sleeve!

    Aaah, I see! LOL!

    I got my sleeve for my Mini 9 from them it cost $3.84, and now it's down to $2.70... http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14339

    I think everyone who has a netbook, should check them out for a inexpensive sleeve for their netbooks...They are decent, and hold up very well!

    Now, that is a techbargain! :D
