Ownership verified by DX It does what I want it to do at a good price.

Pros: I bought the case for my Asus 1000 EEE notebook about 6 months ago. The fit is virtually perfect. The material used has a fine combination of just-right stretchability; wear-resistance [so far]; grip-ability in the hand; with no chance to scratch the Notebook. The pull-over closure is just the right size to fully cover the Notebook. Mine has never shifted or pulled and exposed it.
Recently, I had to carry several things, and I put it [with the computer] in a restaurant carry-out bag. When I got home, I saw some sauces or gravy had spilled from the restaurant container onto the cover. A quick run through the washing machine, on the cold cycle, and it looked brand new. I plan to do that from time to time just to keep it looking good.

Cons: The case does collect collect bits of dust in the texture of the fabric, but it isn't a big issue at all, and they did wash out completely in the gravy episode. Maybe using it red-side-out the dust would be less noticeable.

Other Thoughts: Mine has a couple dimples that seem set into the fabric on the inside from the computer's rear feet. Switching which side the protruding feet are on should minimize that, but it's not looking like it's causing a wear problem. There's no evidence that the fabric is wearing through after 6 months of daily use, often in and out of the case 3, 4, 5 times a day. There's no evidence yet of stitching failure anywhere, either. And it doesn't necessarily scream: "Computer! Steal me!" But I wouldn't leave it visible in an unattended car, either.
Some reviewers have said it should do other things, but it isn't intended to. If it did, it would be something else.

Bottomline: It does what I want. After 6 months, there's no durability issue apparent. Price is good. It cleans up very well in the washing machine. I recommend it to owners of Asus EEE 1000s and like-sized Notebook computers.

Ownership verified by DX A little bit loose for MSI WIND U100.

Pros: Bought it for MSI WIND U100. The sleeve is a bit loose for it, I wish it was a bit more tight. But overall it's ok. Nice quality. Great value for money.

Cons: Strong chemical smell.

Ownership verified by DX Good to avoid scratches

Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: - Very flexible.
- Very light.
- Nice touching.
- You can reverse it and have a black or red case.
- MSI Wind / Medion Akoya / Ahtec LUG N011 clones, or other 10,2" WXGA netbooks fit perfectly here.

Cons: Do you really need this?. It only fits the netbook. So it could be more useful to have a suitcase so you can transport power supply, mouse and so on too...

Other Thoughts: Remember this is only for your netbook. Primary to avoid scratches if you transport it inside a bag.

Bottomline: Good purchase if you are determined to buy a light, small, flexible case.

Ownership verified by DX Very nice and cool!

Pros: - Nice and simple design
- Build quality
- Very easy to open and close to extract the device inside

Cons: - It does smell a bit (only the first day)
- Doesn't have a little pocket to keep SD cards or small papers.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: I've used it on my Medion Akoya netbook and it fits nicely. The design is very cool, but it could be useful and nice to have the red ribbon available in other colours.
It can't be used as the only protection for the notebook but it keeps the device safe from dust and scratches.
