    Anyone buy a notebook sleeve for this little guy yet? I bought a Targus notebook sleeve at best buy but it didn't fit due to the battery sticking out.

    Is it bad on the computer if I take the battery in and out every time I go somewhere just so It could fit into the sleeve?

    It would be better to get a sleeve that fits.

    Taking the battery in and out creates wear and tear that over time could cause you issues down the road. However if you are careful to take it out and put it in gently with this in mind, instead of being rough with it, you will be fine.

    I would rather not to have to do this over and over myself. It just seems finding something that fits would be easier, and better all around.

    That one will work icefire2002, but it will be a loose fit.

    Very cool bags, best bags I've seen for notebooks. But as you said, pricey, although the sleeves maybe a good option. Thanks much.

    You bought a sleeve and it fits perfectly or just the bags?

    I want the large bag so bad, like SO BAD.

    The best notebook sleeves that you couuld get are the Brain Cell or the Monilith made by Tom Bihn. They are hand made up in Seattle. Superiour quality. They are very very spendy though. I am thinking of buying the Coriour bag.
