Netbook Sleeves

Netbooks are all the rage right now. But because they are small, you might think it's OK to toss them in any ol' bag. The reality is, you still need to protect them - and the best way to do that is with a sleeve, tote or case specifically designed for your new petite bundle of electronic joy.When I heard that Slappa was now offering laptop sleeve and laptop bags designed for women, I was quite excited. I've been a fan of Slappa's bags for their quality, ruggedness and suitability to purpose. Slappa's heritage is in creating cases for DJ's and serious gear heads. So I was quite curious to see how they would do designing bags for people who might like something a little more stylish and, dare I say it, a little more feminine.Dom from Slappa sent me over a netbook sleeve and a bag to review. When I opened the box, this adorable Lady Damask netbook sleeve was sitting on top, staring up at me, much like a kitten in a shelter, saying "pick me up, cuddle me, love me". And I did.I pulled the Lady Damask sleeve from its clear plastic wrapper and popped it right onto my Asus net book. Seriously. Usually I spend some time touching a bag or sleeve, inspecting it. Nope, not this time. There is something so compelling about this pattern that made me HAVE to put it on my netbook RIGHT NOW. Weird, I know.
