    I just got ShockZero slip notebook case for my TX. My first impression was .. what the fucc? I would expect to be soft to touch etc. But I come to realize that this case is really well made.

    TX fits perfect in the case. The edge of the case fits snug when the zipper is closed. It prevents TX from swimming in the case. The middle of the case does not touch TX's body. I was actually concerned if the case will press the LCD casing, but there is a gap between the case and TX.

    the edge of the case is hard, so when you drop it, it will observe the shock. also the body of the case is made out of a hard foam material.

    If you like to put TX in some messanger bag or breifcase, this is a must buy for TX user. I now feel so ease about carrying my TX around.

    I've had the zeroshock for my dell 700m for about 9 months now. Love it!

    Just zip it up and throw it in my bag with my school books and I don't need to worry about it.

    It has stained the corners of the white trim on my 700m though. So that is something to be concerned about if it's white or silver.

    Milanostyle, where did you get your ShockZero case? Is it the same as the link the other fellow gave? What size did you get? 11 or 12 in? (I'm assuming 11 in since you said it doesn't move around in the case.)

    I wouldn't mind a sturdier case for my TX. I ordered a case which has pockets for accessories, but I wouldn't mind a hard case for other times and such. (My tx650 is home already, just waiting for me to come back home.)

    I wish they made a 13" widescreen case to fit the S series. I suspect the computer would rattle a bit in the 14" ZeroShock.

    I got a ZeroShock 15-Inch Notebook Sleeve (Interior (W x D x H): 13.0 x 1.8 x 10.8 inches ) for my S-580 since there's no 14'' sleeve at shinza.com and the 12’’ is way too small. It's a bit bigger than what is needed for my notebook, but I love it.

    No, AFAIK zeroschok sleeves don't have handles.
