Buy Targus Sport Backpack Case Designed for 15.4 Inch Notebooks TSB212 (Black with Grey Accents) Now
I found this case in Staples. At first I did not like the way it looked, very bulky. Bought it anyway, it was the only netbook case in stock. Fits the new Aspire One with large battery perfectly. There is a lot of padding, straps and room to store additional supplies, etc. I plan to keep the bag now. It is what is.... nice workmanship, nicely put together, I even kind of like the bulk.This is the Targus Sport Standard Computer Backpack Model #TSB215. It is the same as model Model #TSB212 (there is a picture of this type on the Amazon{.com} site) except that is has blue fabric where the Model #TSB212 has a platinum color. This ensures that this backpack doesn't look like your average computer bag and that is an added bonus if you ask me.The bag itself was designed by people who really know what is needed in a notebook backpack. Finally enough space to take something more than just a computer. You can add some books and there is plenty of space for all the wires/batteries/mouse etc. There are separate pockets all over and they are useful in size and lay-out. There is a variety of mesh pockets on the inside and they are fantastic for disks and smaller things. There is even a cell phone bag attached to front of the one of the straps that comes off if you don't need it.
The notebook pocket is located right in the back in the largest compartment of the bag, and thus reducing the experienced weight to the absolute minimum. The notebook pocket is firmly padded and this pocket is suspended so when you put the bag down the notebook will not hit the floor.
Overall I'm thrilled and since a variety of well-known brands have opted for this design to become their standard backpacks, I'm not surprised. Well worth the money and a great buy!This case is a great little case for netbooks. It is big enough, with extra pockets to hold all the extras you may be carrying around with the netbook, like a power cord, mouse, and possibly even an external cd drive. Construction seems to be high quality. I would have given this thing perfect reviews EXCEPT....
It does not come with a shoulder strap, multiple other buyers mentioned this in their reviews as well. I contacted Targus' customer service and was basically told "sorry, tough luck, here is one you can buy for the same price as what the whole case cost you". Even though the description here on amazon, on targus' website, and on the product packaging clearly states and shows it with a padded shoulder strap. Since a strap to allow it to be carried hands free is kind of the whole point of getting this case, that one ommision cost it 4 stars.
Some other reviewers seemed to have luck getting a replacement strap from Targus but they pretty much ignored me so don't hold your breath.
