Targus Intersection Vertical Slipcase for 15.6 Inch Laptops (Black)TSS097US

I don't buy laptop bags sight unseen, so I went to Staples, Office Depot, and Best Buy with my 10" Acer with 6 cell battery to see what would fit. Good thing because of all the bags that claimed to fit up to 10.2" screens, only two actually did. I could cram the netbook into a couple of others but they either didn't close or barely closed, and there wasn't room for the power supply, etc. Of the two that fit, this one most comfortably also held the power supply, cord, and my small mouse, plus there is also room for a slim notebook (the paper kind), a pen, and a small mousepad. In addition, this one has a shoulder strap and the other didn't.

One reviewer remarked on the lack of zipper over the netbook pocket. I agree a zipper would be a nice addition, but if it's raining hard enough for water to "pour into the bag," as the reviewer said, I doubt a zipper would be guaranteed protection on a bag that is not fully waterproof. But if water damage is a real worry, put the netbook in a sturdy plastic bag that fits and then put it in the case.

Based on two things I bought the bag from Best Buy, not Amazon: (1) people saying that they didn't get the right item, and (2) to be able to use it for a few days and ensure I really liked it, so I could return it easily if not. It was worth a few extra bucks to avoid the hassle of possibly having to return it to Amazon.

It's a handsome, lightweight, convenient bag. Great in all respects--EXCEPT for the fact that there is no zipper to close the compartment where the netbook goes, there is just the top flap. If it rains, water will easily pour into the bag through both open ends of top flap. If there were just one zipper, this would be the perfect netbook bag.

I was at the local Best Buy and saw the TSM097US for $30. It was the perfect Netbook bag that I was looking for so I quickly checked Amazon on my iPhone and saw the same model for only $12.90 so I purchased it from Amazon.com instead.

I received the shipment and instead of it being the TSM097US it was the TSS097US which is a large laptop sleeve.

I knew $12 for this nice bag was too good to be true however the product model # and photo on Amazon.com matched.

So chances are if you're ordering the TSM097US for $12 you won't be receiving what you're expecting.

This order was from ANTOnline.
