My first Sony TZ!

Well, its not even here yet and I am like a kid waiting for Christmas to open the presents I already peeked at and know whats in them. I bought a 2 week old very slightly used TZ150 from one of our fabulous forum members and it will arrive on tuesday. I have already ordered some nifty accessories for it as well:

and a generic plastic screen protector...the cheapest one I could find on ebay just to try it....and I am hoping someone gets me a Logitech VX Nano mouse for Christmas.

Anyway, I will post my experiences with the new toy....ahem..i mean productivity enhancer after I get a chance to play around with it some.

 

I have just got the TZ also and I got one of those cases too...however I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with it. It looks nice (I got the navy with red/orange innards) but its bigger than I thought and not as close fitting as I imagined...
Also I just use the large black vaio cloth supplied with the laptop for the screen/keyboard protection...is the one you use made of thicker material?

 

I wont know until I get it. It is listed at .8mm. It was $10 so Im not too worried about it. After looking at all the other sleeve options, I decided that the Wrapper looked most like what I wanted. It does look in the pictures like the alcantara one is a bit thinner and fits tighter though.

If it doesnt suit me, I think I will just have one custom made locally. That way I can pick out my own fabric, lining, and other options and have it fit the way I want it. Old ladies who know how to sew are awesome!

 

Thought of this case?

I use that and put it inside a briefcase with no worries.

 

lol....just ordered one after opening the Wrapper sleeve. The sleeve is fine, and I might use it occasionally, but I want to try the leather "book" case.

 

Also...the plastic scren protector I ordered was a useless piece of stuff. Just didnt look right after putting it on....I tried several times to get it to go on perfect, but gave up and junked it.

On the other hand, I think the shaggymac screen/keyboard protector is far worth the $11 it cost. Works as a screen wipe too.
