Well protected for the Road

If the netbook instead of laptops comes with traveling, then it comes to minimizing the ballast, so a correspondingly small and exactly matching space-saving and lightweight bag is needed. With Amazon I became quickly find and have the AmazonBasics Netbook and iPad bag for size from 17.8 to 25.4 cm (7-10 inches) acquired black with carrying handle, which I would like to introduce with my current review:

Manufacturer and price

The manufacturer is not specified. This product is produced for Amazon and is therefore only available there.
The price is currently 10.99.

Size, design and features

The bag has a size of approx. 30.5 x 23.4 x 4.6 cm (L x W x D) and weighs approx. 200 g. It is made of neoprene with bilateral textile coating, black on the outside and inside bright orange. The corners are slightly rounded.

Closed it with a to be concluded by both sides plastic zipper which enfolds about 7 cm at the corners.
The bag has two padded handles. It also has a zippered. about 19 cm long front pocket.

Design

However, the design is certainly nothing special, in my view appealing. Black I find for this purpose as a pleasant color, so that the bag is also suitable for business use. The shape of the front compartment takes in spite of its restrained design a little special touch and can not seem boring pocket. You can be sure divided on the orange interior. I like it anyway.

The packing

This poses few problems. You can open as far apart and fold that the netbook is easily stowed in your pocket thanks to the circulating up to the sides of the zipper. My netbook has a size of 10.1. It has nevertheless good place in your pocket. The zipper can be, thanks to the large and grippy rubber zipper, just connect and remains firmly closed during transport.

The zipper front pocket extends over the entire width of the bag, so that these can easily assemble. One can, of course, in smaller things, such. As memory sticks, keep. Just as good but can be transported in the power supply of the netbook. This is one of the advantages of the pocket and ultimately the essential motive why I opted for this model in my eyes.

The Transport

Mostly I use the bag only as a protective cover in the briefcase or trolley. Since the bag has a sleek design itself, you get them easily accommodated.

Thanks to the two handles can be the case but possibly also as wear. The handles lie comfortably in your hand, and because they are padded, wearing is not too uncomfortable. In addition, it is quite easy, which also contributes to a comfortable transport.
The neoprene material protects the transportable device safe from bumps, scratches and the like., Because it acts as a cushion because of its own thickness. In addition, the bag, according to Amazon should be weatherproof. These things I have not been tested and will not do it safely. However, it is an important feature if you do not stowed the bag, but so carries.

Processing and durability

The processing makes a perfect impression. The seams are smooth and well taken, so that the appearance is not compromised and also an adequate durability can be expected. The zipper seems durable. For durability I can contribute no long-term experience but still, I have enough to not yet in use, the bag long.

Conclusion

I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend the bag fully. It is versatile, of course, not only for netbooks, but for comparable units up to a size of 10.1. Particular advantages I feel the front pocket which can be used for accessories, as well as the handles, so that it is not just a protective shell, but actually a pocket. In addition, it provides reliable protection and is comfortable to handle. Therefore, 5 stars from me.
